Now what is the point in having a civilized meta thread about closing a specific question when people just go right ahead and do it anway?!?!!?
The meta thread in question had only one answer (mine), with more upvotes than the original question, advocating the question be kept open. Noone had put forward a counter-argument, least of all an upvoted one, but the casting closure vote was clicked anyway.
I suspect this is probably simply a result of there not being a meta link to the closure discussion attached to the question in question, but this is simply not on.
I propose:
- The question be reopened until the discussion is complete
- Whenever closure discussions happen in future on meta there should be a link to them on the question
