I'm not her biggest fan, but the OP was perfectly in line with other OPs posted within the past two weeks. Heck, there are two very active threads on the same subject still running.

Seems odd to lock GD threads on a subject that is raging across Western media right now.

If we can have gun exceptions in GD, we should be able to have religion exceptions. [View all] stevenleser Jan 2015 OP

I think GD hosts would surely be open to this if admins will indicate their willingness to allow hlthe2b Jan 2015 #1

I probably should have done that, but I figured if OPs are being locked, admin is aware of stevenleser Jan 2015 #7

I think they indicated that willingness... cyberswede Jan 2015 #10

Since the massacre in Paris there has been religious exception. HappyMe Jan 2015 #2

Was it posted in the link pinned to the top of GD and was the end of the exception also posted? stevenleser Jan 2015 #4

I believe it was posted in the Host Land first. HappyMe Jan 2015 #11

From SKinner's pinned GD post cyberswede Jan 2015 #3

Seems admin needs to read its own SOP again? Or was it changed without notice? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #5

That makes it even more curious that Nance's OP was locked. nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #6

Sure does Bobbie Jo Jan 2015 #12

Hosts don't lock things unless a SoP alert was sent. HappyMe Jan 2015 #13

Like a DU Star Chamber? Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #14

I think you have to have a star HappyMe Jan 2015 #16

You should volunteer for a term, to see what's involved. cyberswede Jan 2015 #17

I don't understand why her thread was locked, that was a great thread. Rex Jan 2015 #8

Completely agree, Steven, and I'm not a fan of either of those topics. closeupready Jan 2015 #9

That was a weird lock Prism Jan 2015 #15

I'm wondering if it was a "Nance" lock. Some folks here don't like her and may have issued the SOP stevenleser Jan 2015 #18

It can't be discounted Prism Jan 2015 #19

I agree... Spazito Jan 2015 #20

Bizarre lock in my opinion. I don't see where it violated the "what you can and can't post" for GD. Pacifist Patriot Jan 2015 #21

I think so, too. I am no Nance fan, but that was more meta than about religion. PeaceNikki Jan 2015 #22

I have instructed the hosts to to unlock those threads. Skinner Jan 2015 #23
