Threads closed to easily?

[Kayleigh McMillan]

Hello dear KittyCats team,

I wonder why as of recent threads are closed so easily?
I get sometimes a healthy discussion and/ or disagreement can fire up emotions which can't be called productive anymore and therefore I always liked the interventions which hopefully brought a topic back on track again.
This way hot topics stay under the surface and a healthy debat which by the nature of it can get heathed is made impossible.
I love forums for healthy debats and I love freedom of speech and expression too.
Closing threads is therefore in my opinion something which shouldn't be done too lightly because that very freedom is taken away.

I value freedom of speech and in our country (The Netherlands) that is part of freedom in general which we should cherish in almost all instances, I feel.
Cutting this freedom off is a strong enforcement to use.

In the last closed thread I saw some things which went personal and therefore counter productive.
But that was not the only thing I saw that was just part of it.
A vitale part of breeding KittyCatS was discussed and while people agreed and disagreed
I think it is a topic from which it is rather sad it is just cut off.

It is ashame we can't discuss things, disagree and learn to agree to disagree.

With all respect I feel the thread was closed to easily.
The OP announced to stop posting in that thread and on the forums in general but I for one was curious if others had valuable opinions.

I hope in the future freedom of speech and trust in us, the community, to solve things and continue in a healthy discussion can be considered.

Sincerely,

Kay
