Getting a mite bit trigger happy Guys?

That Canadian politics discussion

I fail to see how it warranted getting locked. No one was being nasty, no one was arguing, a few people were joking around but it seemed like a perfectly civil discussion to me.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it. But some of the posts did start to get a little venomous, and so (without taking a stance on the political discussions in any way) it seemed that fairness demanded closing the discussion before it got even further out of hand.
