"ignoring the evidence which contradicts it."


Your words.


Mods just lock it up to keep the nut jobs from using this as their nut box.

Are you incapable of comprehending the difference between discussing evidence and proposing a theory?

Yes! It is their call. They are empowered to make determinations using their judgment.

Qualifying as judgement requires objectivity which can be substantiated, while no one seems capable of doing that here.

There is remedy one can pursue if they disagree. At least I understand there to be.

Pray tell?

In 'The Rules' is a statement to the effect; if you don't agree with the decision of a Moderator you can post a PM to 'Moderators' etc or an email, as I recall.. A decision would then be taken by what I'll refer to as "Moderator action committee".. A group or at least some senior mod who was not involved with the action the member finds unsubstantiated or whatever prompted the PM to the Mods.

I personally would hope that no action is ever taken to reverse a thread closing or deletion but, rather, the actioning Mod, in the case of an overrule, and the Mod committee would discuss why the action is not appropriate thus providing the Mod with insight from his/her peers so that in the future decisions would be made that reflect a more unified approach. I'd not like to ever see a Mod overrule made public nor a Mod justifying beyond the initial 'cause of action' edit on the affected thread. I don't want to see any put in that position because it does not serve to do more than provide a precedent for future events that may not be quite on point. Bans and Permabans are quite different.
