what happened to free speech

Why was this post locked http://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=35127 unlike most of the trash on this section of the forum it was well thought out, articulated and it raised some unanswered issues like what happened to the thread(s) containing evidence that the community worked together to get.
When it was locked they referred to Daemon/Viper's answer to the situation which didn't actually answer what the core of the thread was about.
So what was the thought process behind locking it or was it all just damage control?
I don't really care that much since I was already a foot half out the door with the constant lag and unplayable state of the server but I think the remaining people here should not accept this kind of behaviour.
