And if discussion is really that poor, people should by all means act like assholes, even if that is not their natural calling. That said, a section overflowing with assholes carries its own liabilities. Arguments flare, egos collide, and substance is forgotten. Such sections ideally need the direction of an assertive...

I don't feel that I'm going out on much of a limb there. But I think that's appropriate.
