Can you please when locking a thread

So I am sorry if you think I am being rude when after 4 days of going around in circles I just cannot think of a reply to this statement:
Something better than the 'see ya' he got may have been nice, I know you did not post that but the attitude of some of the mods to long term posters has been dissapointing at least and way out of line in others, as the 'face' of the site I believe some should exercise more measured responses or there may be an exodus.MadMan said:
Subject says it all, ban me for all I care if you can't take criticism, what i used to enjoy is gone so I really dont care anymore.
Goodbye Pistonheads.

Chin up Gazboy, I'm sure the majority of us appreciate what a week it has been for you lot!
I suspect stopping the thread was the wrong thing. This site exists for debate and constructive criticism, even if it is a bit bordeline, just look at the section title so closing the thread gags us (and you lot, MODS) to respond.
Had you all given an explanation he may have come back to it and apologised but you gave him no chance. I found it all a bit curt and unnecessary. You had the moral high ground but you've lost it.

There are plenty of threads on the forum where these issues can be debated I think that it was closed to streamline things and, as Gaz said above, we've had plenty of these threads and we've resolved as a group not to get dragged into arguments in every case.Had you all given an explanation he may have come back to it and apologised but you gave him no chance.

Can I also take the opportunity to publicly say how much the full time staff on PH appreciate more than ever the sterling efforts that the Mods have put in this week. Emotions have been running high and they've had more work than ever to deal with, including some frankly unnecessary personal attacks at times. Whilst the moderators' efforts are not always appreciated here, I can tell you that without them this place would be ruined within days.
OK. Understood but it seems the previous chap was given short shrift and 'allowed' to leave without any explanation. I thought, while he was blunt and a bit tactless, his comments warranted a more substantial reply.
Maybe I've missed something, if so apologies. I respect the moderators efforts but feel the cutting off wasn't the right response.
Anyway, keep up the hard work, I won't be leaving any time soon...
