Wait. This is the bloke who gave me (me ffs!) seven for not addressing forum members in an appropriate manner. What a joke.
By that, I mean both the ban and this hypocrisy. The examples are exactly on point - harsh called weldone an arsehole, as I understand it. Absolutely correct. No one on the forum apart from weldone would disagree (and maybe even he wouldn’t). Personally I don’t see a problem with what he did.
Likewise, I called out several of the utter dregs of the forum using completely appropriate descriptors. Yet copped a ban.
This is outrageous. It’s this sort of double standard which leads to **** like Brexit.

Nothing wrong with holding an incorrect opinion (imo) on things like that (see your views on Allan Border for example).

Having considered this further, I don't want to go overboard in reacting to this sort of one off thing.
We've known for ages that harsh is incompetent - closing the wrong thread is the sort of endearing quality which makes us think fondly of him - like a dottery aunt at Christmas who buys you a dud gift. It's still a gift.
But then he banned me, and he suddenly wasn't so harmless - now he became the CW version of the old racist relo who ****-posts Alt Right memes on FB, and who you want to block but if you did, you'd have to explain to the rest of the family that their loved one is actually a massive **** who's not harmless, but in fact is a bit dangerous, even though they **** up a lot.
And now this. Insulting forum members using the same language he's banned others for. Whilst we all applaud the sentiment, given the poster to whom it was addressed, it nevertheless sets the sort of precedent which would see harsh succeed in politics - setting and enforcing standards for others whcih he will not himself live up to. And we can't have that.
He must resign, and hand over the keys to the Moderator 5000 to yours truly.

Yeah, this. Why are we suddenly assuming Harsh locking the thread in question was deliberate?

Whether he found the right button is another matter.
