He closed it, for what seemed to be no reason. It's just an insignificant thread I started! It's not that big of a deal if he closed it. I feel it's because of me that Journalistic is getting blasted still! Can't we just leave him alone? I'm sure he didn't have ill intentions when he closed it. I don't want this community divided and broken over this. I just want to forget about it all and just move on. I didn't even know about this thread you've mentioned until you brought it up. I've explained the reasons why I'm personally speaking out against Journalistic in my very first comment on this thread, so if you want to know my reasons in detail then you can go read that comment, but if you want the short version: I feel that Journalistic needs to possibly have his Admin privileges revoked because not only has he recently started abusing them in what I deem to be extremely childish ways, he's acted out towards the Wiki in the manners in which I and others' are criticizing him before, during late December of last year. I see this past incident, along with what's going on now, as evidence to support my stance on seeing his Admin privileges revoked. I am more than happy to consider the opposition's desire to seek leniency for his actions, but I have yet to see a single person supporting Journalistic make a compelling argument that'd give me a good reason to change my mind on anything I am criticizing him for, and unless someone can come forward and convince me to change my stance on anything then I have absolutely no intention of expressing any leniency towards Journalistic's recent actions and behavior.

As I asked in another reply, would you, or anyone else, tolerate this kind of behavior if it were to come from me or any of the other Administrators?

I don't want to see this community get divided and broken either, but when I feel somebody has done something wrong on here that person should be held account to their actions, whatever they may be, because regardless over how you or any other person may seek to justify your or another person's actions it doesn't change the reality of you having committed those very actions, along with whatever consequences those actions may have brought towards yourself and those around you. Journalistic shouldn't be held to a different standard than other people on here just because you feel he isn't deserving of it -- letting a person's bad choices slide without any repercussion just because of any past/current deeds they are doing or because they have a good reputation with other people wouldn't be fair in the eyes of those he has wronged.
