It is clear to me that there are some people who do not come here to discuss things in good faith (it's a great term, lol). That should not be permitted, but I also think it can be avoided by keeping the group relatively clear of meta topics in general.
Perhaps there is a need for an off-site group for that kind of thing if people really feel they need to blow off steam, circle the wagons and perpetuate the we vs. them internecine wars. I'm not interested, but I would like to see it out of this group.
