Troll,
Could you explain your post a little better for us 'Mentally Challenged' individuals since I don't understand where you are coming from.

What does being a moderator or having an opinion have to do with the price of wheat in China?

Markos is the most politically correct person in the CtP forums and I have never seen him 'let the fur fly'. What Markos does do is correct people who are mis-informed or who are trying to spread incorrect information. Also, the CtP forums are like the ugly-stepchildren of Apolyton. People love to come to the CtP forums, post garbage and generally try to cause problems. Seeing how Markos is the Co-Owner (Parent) of Apolyton, it is his responsibility (to a degree) to try to keep that from happening.

As for the thread in question, it should of been closed. It was totally taken over by non-CtP posters who turned it into nothing but a name calling game. I can't speak for the other forums but the CtP forums don't work that way. It has been my observation that Markos will let threads go for a little bit to see where they head. Once it is obvious they are heading down the dumps, he closes them.

Why is this such a problem?

FYI: I am not being sarcastic or looking for a flame war, I am just trying to understand the reasoning behind your post.

It was (is being) taken care of offline since the biggest problem seemed to be my not understanding the post.

Once I understood Troll's basic complaint, I have to say I agree with him. Troll has been an active CtP participant for quite a while and I hope he continues to do so in the future.
