lol I thought it was a bit odd to just lock and leave it there
they're probably not sure what to do. I guess there's too much of an intertwining between TL the website and TL the brand now for threads like that.
Considering it's under the "Community" heading it would seem fitting for it to be a more public discussion in my view but I can also understand your point.

Seem likely. I was taken aback by the title of that thread, which is prominently featured in the community general discussion from the landing page. The content of the discussion that would happen now would not match the OP and his original title.
Personally I find the presumed problematic nature (despite the poll implicitly favoring it) of the title interesting in itself. It was almost 10 years ago but that was after Obama was elected so it wasn't that long ago.
I find the whole thread, phenomena, and treatment then and now fascinating I'd just like to hear about how TL (community and staff [including ones that posted then and still post now]) feel about the whole thing.
It's not much, but the locking and silence still says something.
