DU mail the host who locked the thread listed in post #38: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142280067#post38

AFAIK you can also send an email to the locking host to unlock. As a former host I suggest forming your message as an explanation of why the thread fits the forum SOP:

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only. No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours. Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.

IMHO, arguing with a host could be deemed interfering with forum moderation. DU mail rather than open post discussion is the way to go.

Also, I've seen newsworthy threads locked because they are actually opinions pieces. I haven't looked at the story but just a thought to consider.
