On a narrow number of topics there seems to be contention in the forums:
* systemd is supported by a bunch of morons that are desktop or small business focused
* Red Hat is oppressing / infiltrating Debian... (this may actually be connected to systemd)
* KDE is bloated or for Windows users / does not do X, Y
* Gnome 3 / ...4 is a blunder
Any / some / all of these statements may or may not be true, but the fact that 3-4 posters hijack the discussion and play ping pong between each other leaves little room for others to contribute. It's like a tug war in the mud, no one will win. It's like we did not learn anything deeper from the vim-emacs flame wars, despite the fact that I haven't seen this conflict to resurface.
So what options are there to reduce this contention, as it seems obvious that neither part will see the other's position?
