Mike and the mods can't win, they get slammed for locking threads and deleting post, then cop when they don't.

No, they can actually. If the rules are applied equally and fairly across all topics then there can be no complaints.
I have started threads in the past (not in one of the areas which are advised against) with a plea for people to keep on topic and keep civil. A few inflammatory posts later by individuals who don't want that particular topic discussed, thread closed or worse still thread removed never to be seen again.
I have joined other people's discussions, we have been debating various topics, again someone (usually from outside the core of people contributing to the discussion) posts some name calling etc, thread locked etc.
Now, it seems, that Mike and the mods are going to just delete the offending posts, an action that I applaud as long as, again, it's applied fairly.
So that's a win for free speech and, eventually, a win for the mods and Mike.
Cheers
