When reading your posts it seems as if you are talking about a darwin-like system. There are some things you have to consider when it comes to natural selection.
You say that to solve a conflict there's also a winner. What really is the issue here is how a resolution is found. On this website a solution can be found by flaming eachother until everyone with a different idea than yours gives up. This would suggest that the people who stay on the boards are those with good flaming-skills. Yet that isn't productive for the MUD community.
I believe a darwinistic-system isn't always good. It is the circumstances that decide the outcome - not necessarily is the outcome good. It only reaches some kind of balance. A balance which could very well be Medievia as head innovator which everyone listen to. If they caused people who disagree with them to leave this board "only" loyal fans would be left here. At that time a kind of balance would have been reached.
It is clear that reasoning is a lot about logical thinking. This is something that humans are quite good at. However we are also able to go beyond logic in our reasoning. That is we have emotions.
There's absolutely no reason everything needs to be settled with flame wars.
