Itchybum,
moving a thread to Admin may be done for several reasons. Among these may be:
1. To allow a "cooling off" period for all concerned. By doing this, the thread can be re-instated at a later date, either as-is, or after Moderator input.
2. To allow a determination by Head Office if there are legal implications, which happens from time-to-time. Head Office may choose to delete the thread or take other action.
Dunnunda has been closed a couple of times as a result of threads going off on similar vitriolic tangents. We are trying to avoid this happening again.
