I agree, but if you don't give the bomb throwers on each side a place to throw bombs, they'll do it in either the Main Forum or the Scuppers.
Look at SOL. Timmy tossed a bunch of guys out of his politics forum, and they just took over the Town Tavern. If you start a fisheries regulation thread in the Mass forum, sooner or later someone's going to throw in a political post and then all hell breaks loose. I get to be the bad guy for deleting the crap.
These sites are just a microcosm of the US today. Whatever happened to the days when Reagan would invite Tip O'Neill over to the WH in the evening, and they'd work out compromises over a bottle of Irish whiskey?
