This I have to agree with 100%, hense my original comments in the Patti thread. If a thread is that "bad" that it needs be locked for 24 hours for a clean up then honestly, I'd prefer it just to be locked.
I know how difficult a job the mods have here at times - believe me I know, I married one!
A thread like the Patti thread was always going to be heated, but you edit one post then you have to edit the reply which may also have a quote and it snowballs from there. What remains is a thread made of posts and replies, none of which are the originals, which to me defeats the object.
