So how do you find out why a given thread gets locked?

[patrice]

I don't think that has ever happened to me before. I thought we were having a good discussion. What happened to the thread about Religious compared to Intellectual knowledge?

4. It might have broken a DU rule.

A few days ago, the racist group Storm Front was mientioned. I started a thread about a posting that blew my mind from Storm Front. It was deleted. I never received official notification why, but I assume I broke a DU posting rule unknowingly. The link was a pretty offensive Storm Front posting, I must admit.

5. In this case I asked it to be moved from the Lounge to GD

Because I didn't want any potential flamewars in the Lounge. I hate Lounge flamewars.

6. Flamewars. Yuck. That was never my intention.

I just figured some posters would be shocked at how terrible the race problem still is. But, when I saw it removed, I figured it was too offensive or some such thing. It was pretty bad.

Can you believe that a group like this has such space at FR? I mean, I know that Rethugs aren't exactly freindly to civil rights as we see them, but I always thought they were above the cross buring mentality. However, how could one forget David Dukes?
