It is even worse business to not allow a thread on the subject. Think about it like this, if there were a thread dedicated to the subject, the subject would stay there.
Now every time we want to discuss an issue about a blogger or a topic a blogger writes about, we will have to open a new thread, or write about it in an existing thread. If the idea is in more than one thread, then there are more areas in which one can see the idea. Which means more exposure to the idea, which equal more chances for people to see complaints about bloggers/ their ideas/ their influence/ affiliate revenue.

Having another thread where people can spew their vitriol will pop up soon enough. The end results will be exactly the same. Circle of life.

There seemed to be plenty of expression going on the 30+ pages of the now locked thread. Opinions duly noted. How many more threads about deal killing bloggers does the world need? Some people hate the sharing of travel deals, some people hate Malala Yousufzai going to school. If missing out on a mistake fare is the biggest problem if your life then you should consider yourselves very lucky.
