I'll rephrase my statement slightly:
I have yet to see any forum I've been to where open discussion about these issues have ever lead to resolve.
So while there indeed might be a good use of time, history shows it not to be.
So question is, will this end up as a huge post eventually locked by mods because no one really bothers to read the whole thing and everyone ends up doing the same remarks over and over again? Or will we sometime in the near future see a stream of general acceptance to differences flow into these forums and calm things down?
I'd prefer the latter, but it's not very realistic at this point in my opinion.
