I most certainly agree with Loriel.
And this leads me to another somewhat related question, should the thread starter be able to close (by request) their own topic?
I don't believe so, forums are for public discussion, and I don't think you should be able to stop the discussion just because it doesn't go the way you want (assuming its on topic). I'm currently thinking of the scripter hiring thread for Crystia where everyone decided to share their unfavorable opinion of the attitudes of some of the staff there, it was closed on author's request.
