Its not the fact that the thread was closed, it's how it all came about that I think rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

See, I don't get this political correctness argument at all. The mods asked for opinions and discussion from all sides, they did a poll, and then made a decision amongst themselves about what they thought was the morally right decision. That's not bending to political correctness, it's asking for as much input as possible and then using your own judgement. I don't really understand what a preferable decision-making process would be.
Granted, only the mods know the exact nature of the discussion they had behind the scenes, but why assume that that their decision was about satisfying a vocal minority? Why is it so implausible that they weighed the arguments from all sides and made their decision only after factoring in all perspectives. Is your issue that they put more weight into the arguments in the thread than into the poll? Or that they had opinions of their own?
What exactly would those who are accusing the mods of bending to political correctness liked to have seen in the decision-making process (other than an opposite result)?
