If I'm not entirely incorrect, you got your answer in the first reply of that thread.

I like this forum a lot, people have fun and can pretty much do whatever they please. And I have to say that the Goowin's Law is quite suiting for this type of communication.

But I like the discussion about how this forum should be.

I wanna know how for the OP (original poster) thinks people should be allowed to go in cursing and in insulting other people. Would you allow harassing other players just so that you could call it free speech? If another player made a thread just to mock you, just to try and ruin your day, would you get angry at the mods for removing it?

I'm quite sure that most of the people fighting for total freedom of speech doesn't know what they are fighting for, most often they just want to fight for what they want to hear.

Whenever I lock a thread I'm open for a discussion with the OP of that thread on wether or not that thread can get unlocked again.

maybe the original "SOTG" thread did get off-topic, it could have been handled differently. As i stated, remove the offensive posts, don't delete a 120 post thread for 1 or 2 off topic posts. There was a lot of valuable discussion in that thread. As far as the 2nd SOTG thread, that one did not go off topic @ all, seems as it was locked to send a message. What message, i don't know.
I am all for absolute free speech, and yes i know what it entails. I am an adult and can defend myself if attacked. I understand that some "children" may get upset and take it way too seriously. Honestly though, how many peopl under the age of 21 or so do we have on this game? I can't imagine there are a lot. This is a text based game, those kids are playing their Wii's, and PS3's.
