12. None of that justifies not locking this thread

and it's untrue. You're a host of GD. Why don't you explain the justifications for not locking this thread. The SOP for GD reads:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.


I don't see any exceptions carved out for who posts it, or what side of the argument the post supports. In fact, Skinner's pinned thread states "There are currently no special exceptions."

The idea is to keep gun arguments out of GD. It doesn't matter if CreekDog supports the post, or not. Your job as a host is to apply the rules evenly, not to use your position to regulate discussions.
