Why, when a topic comes up people don't like and don't want to participate in, want to have it closed down? Why not just ignore it and never read it again and let the people that do want to discuss do just that?

P.S. Yes, I really want to know!
There are other forums I go on that you can discuss anything you like, including Politics, and religion, there are of course limitations.
I think here there seems to be more of an effort to avoid heated discussions and arguments, to the extent of disallowing discussions of certain topics.
As far as people wanting to close a discussion, I think it's more of a Moderator thing than poster thing.
There are a lot of thread that I don't even open by looking at the title, because I don't think I have anything to contribute. There are those that will open a thread just to agitate, not to contribute, unfortunate.
