The minute we lock this thread, we have people accusing us of stifling their freedom to speak their mind. New people to the issue (ie those that are only just finding out instead of having known about it last week for whatever reason) need to be able to have their say. As long as it stays civil, there's no reason I see to close the thread. As everyone becomes aware of the issue and has the opportunity to discuss it, it will eventually die down on its own.
