Contact with thread starter before a thread is closed

"it is usually multiple people against one" - people here should break the habit. On the other site, it's rarely more than 2 vs. 1, and I don't think I am the biggest whipping boy there. Just because someone makes a point (maybe in the premise of a new thread) that isn't popular doesn't mean scorn should be the result. If handled carefully, rarely would anything but self-promotional and duplicate threads need to be closed.
