I don't see any issues with locking threads that have become irrelevant or inflammatory because there's nothing to be discussed at that point, imo.

Sorry I think you missed the point, I specified a civilised conversation for this exact reason.

I think it's important to realize that if you were in the shoes of the 'other side' you wouldn't see a lot of the points being made as civilized. This is not to say that it doesn't go both ways either, mind you. At what point do you recommend something be shut down and moved away from if people are being argumentative rather than holding discussion? I'm not trying to be disrespectful here by any means, just curious to what you think that line is.
