Personally, I think this forum would be better off without them.
I mean, read through those threads. What is consistent from beginning to end? No one budges from their stand point, people generally get mad at each other, and foremost, they're opinions. Theres no right or wrong.
It's trivial to have these threads, and a waste of moderator time if(see: when) they get out of hand.
