We lock them because of a few reasons:
1) there aren't any good answers (eg, 'how can I become anorexic') we lock it after some positive advice has been posted
2) it relates to illegal activity, but we chose not to delete it (how to hack a site, obtain gaia gold, etc)
3) the question has descended into a flame war or argument and veered far, far off the original topic.

Those are the main reasons. If you see a lock question that shouldn't be, let us know.

I think he's just happy that we DO lock stuff when it descends into a flame war...b/c if we didn't do that, I think a lot of people would get really upset, a lot more often.
