You've been here long enough to know that when a thread is closed, 95 time out of 100 the mod closing it gives a reason why.

The Alec Baldwin thread was closed for one simple reason -- it had gone completely circular. Multiple pages of people saying the same thing again and again, with no new information about the incident, just endless speculation.

In other words, it became pointless.
