Exactly. That scenario is exactly why locking is possible. You lock the thread so people can’t keep derailing, and are forced to actually take it to the appropriate places instead.
OP is just butthurt because they couldn’t argue politics in an apolitical community anymore.
Having had to lock posts because the conversation was going off the rails and getting very heated and political… that is the right call.
If the purpose of the community isn’t being served by the discussion, it should be shutdown, let people have their internet fights somewhere else.
