I think it closed because it degenerated into two members arguing over one particular point with no real objective apart from to argue. It was a very stupid thread I'm afraid. It deals with highly sensitive issues such as child abuse and religion. In view of this it should have been posted in the backroom. Posting it in the monastery was not a very smart thing to do. Even in the backroom it would probably still have been closed, if not closed sooner, once the fruitless argument had begun.
