Locked it because it's my duty to; locked it because it's
basic forum etiquette.
Old friend or new friend, good for you. I don't play pull
strings and I don't owe anyone face.
Normally I would give credit to the moderator when they say
that. But for you, I hate to say that you dun qualify to say this
as my encounters with you have not given me the impression that you
are as impartial as you claim.
But since you are here, may I kindly ask you to explain why you
lock this thread?

I have to clarify that Keii was quite a gentleman
and he had already apologise to me via PM and the misunderstanding
was resolved.
I was not doing any flaming of any sort. I was not being a troll
and most importantly, I was not being offensive to anyone. I
believe I conduct myself in a socially acceptable manner. As a
matter of fact, I believe most people would agree with me if I were
to say that what happened was uncalled for. All I was asking for
was a proper apology. I was denied a proper apology, and I
quote this said by you after you lock it up.

Don't spar someone that level on CNY eve!"
It does not take a genuis to see what you meant by "that level"
in this sentence. But your explanation to me on this issue via PM
seems to be rather passive and unapologetic. And since showing
other people's PM on the main thread is how you normally
communicate, I thought it is better I go to your "level" so that
you can understand what I'm trying to say better.

Well, the whole meaning of 'that level' is very subjective
- and it's up to yourself to make deductions. If you find it a
compliment, it's a compliment. Likewise, if you find it offensive,
then it's offensive 
By your context, it is obvious that you deduce that what I said
was offensive and thus an apology was not necessary when you deny
me that apology when I was asking for it. So please read through my
posts in that thread again to let me know what you find so
offensive that you deny me of such rights.
So since you are so impartial in your moderating, please explain
the following :
1) Why was the thread lock up?
2) Should a moderator comment on the issue in this manner if
he/she is so impartial?
3) Please explain the term "Basic Forum etiquette". Please
explain in full what is mean by "basic Forum etiquette". Please
quote the source you got this term from.
Thank you very much.
