2. It defeats the purpose of having a discussion board

when someone offers a dissenting idea, then is locked out the thread by a jury immediately after the initial post. While there are some posts that clearly deserve to be hidden, I saw one comment hidden recently that was most likely meant to sarcastic rather than offensive or trollish.

Even if I don't agree with someone, I do find that I also learn from comments that others make and occasionally even readjust my own perspective on issues.
