why would a Moderator lock up a thread and tell you to NOT talk about it on this site, to go to Yahoo and talk about it.

I received no explaination as to why my question about an illegal fish collector who attacked another diver underwater was shut-down.

Is this not the place for such a discussion?

Did you read the mods explanation right below your post in the linked thread?
 
Thanks Wookie. Didn't think to look for this story in Accidents.

awap, the link I was given by the Moderator took me to a Yahoo Discussion Group, not a Scubaboard group.

That's not why your thread was closed. Your thread was one of many threads on the same topic that have been started in the last couple of days. Some of them were merged into the thread I quoted to you. Some of them were deleted and the OP's were informed as to why. Some of them that were in forums where more such threads could be expected, including yours, were closed without deleting and a reference was left in a modpost to the open thread where the discussion is ongoing.

These things happen from time to time. Maybe you missed seeing the other thread and nobody blames you for that. But it should have been clear enough from my post linking the open thread that yours was a duplicate.

I didn't think you needed it spelled out for you so I didn't PM you about it. But that's the reason.
