No, it was necessary. And it seemed to be working.

The pledge thread was silly, but it also became necessary after your prolonged abuse of the ignore function ;) It does seem to have been successful despite the locking.

In any case, I would rather have complete anarchy or complete moderation than the random locking of threads that are contentious at a glance. As it stands, it seems I could spout off some crap in a thread I don't like in order to get it locked, with no repurcussions.
