why is this thread considered trolling
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=449046
when other such threads like
this one about it being foolish to send aid to other countries (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448950)
and this one
calling Americans "Grazing Cows" to lazy to right the wrongs in the Government (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448959)
and this one critisising the Vatican and Christianity (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448987)
and this one calling the Government a religious hypocrisy with their choices (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448568)
were allowed to continue and stay viable.

Granted the Title about "the Leftist tolerance (/sarcasm)" is a rather harsh statement, but the subject is no more lambasting one group like all the other anti Christian/Republican/USA threads out there... like the thread about "Under God" being in the pledge (where the thread starter is posting almost nothing but trollish remarks), or all those that ask people to google "utter Failure"

the thread provided one article for it's basis, the poster's point of view and while the responses can be trollish, it's the thread starter that is labeled as trolling. while not giving the thread a chance to see if it's nothing but trolling or a thread with a viable point to make.

isn't it a wonder that such threads like the one asking if all posters are predominatly Left winged appear?

I am asking for a review of this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=449046), or at least a clarification to the reason why it was locked.

I locked it. I did it quickly too, as there didn't seem to be much leeway given Serapindal's past history.

However, threads like those can sometimes turn out to be productive conversations, and upon further review it seems I should have waited a bit longer to see where Serapindal was going with this. In my opinion, the intended direction is pretty obvious, but I'm prepared to allow the benefit of the doubt. The thread has been unlocked.

Thanks, for the consideration.
