How many threads have been locked here in the past 6 or so years? Theres very little reason ever to lock threads, especially on this forum (world even more so). Yannick and Tom have screwed around in other parts of this forum, namely noise/static. The world forum always gets more heated because politics and religion always bring out the strongest feelings. Even so, I cant remember ever seeing a locked thread here or even posts being edited. This is still one of the most free and most "hands off" forums around and I like it that way. No need for the banstick. Just a PM will do.
If youre going to rename thread titles, only do it for clarity and put the original title in brackets. If youre going to edit things from someones post then comment on what youve changed and why. Same goes for deleted posts.
As for the whole topic of Bush hating women, well I always thought he was a closet homosexual
