Legitimate thread with a legitimate question for discussion, Joffa locks original thread for no good reason and bans the poster for having a problem with that.

Not good moderation. Explain why you're closing a thread, and if you are closing the thread, think about why - and if it's a bullshit reason with little justification, DON'T. Let alone closing three threads and banning the poster purely for disagreeing with your non-existent justification.
