If you had a gripe with it, you should have pm'ed him explaining politely why you think he had acted inappropriately and explained why and asked to have the thread back. If he looked at it and thought "hang on yer he's got a point" he would have unlocked it. Instead you have basically tried to flame him for everone to see.
I did pm him, more than once infact - and he replied with an explanation. I pointed out that his reason was incorrect (unless dirt jumps and downhills tracks are now the same thing?

). I recieved no reply from that pm and another one which I sent - therefore I assume that he is not able to justify his reasoning, and did not unlock the thread either. If somebody Fs up and won't accept their mistake or give a justification for their actions then they deserve to be flamed.
I was not posting a thread which was the same or similar to one which already existed!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it is good to have the same topic condensed into one thread and not on multiple threads, but searching will be pretty damn irritating if on each thread theres a variety of different things because its been "condensed." There would be, in your words, responses littered all over the place, just in the same thread!!!!
Can nobody see my point?
Oh, and he's put a ban on QE threads, like all the trails there are illegal. Yeah.
