I don't think it is appropriate to to compare this thread with the other. It seems quite clear that people are attempting to engage in a reasonable, though disagreeble, discussion regarding this matter. In fact, this appears to be the reason this thread was started - to engage in a real debate as opposed to getting lost in the flame war.
To propose that no suggestions be brought up simply because they might turn into a flame war is to support the proposition that NO threads should ever be started because they might end up in a flame war.
I think my previous post explained quite well why these debates should take place on an open forum.
