I would hate it if I came onto this thread and everyone was just agreeing with each other and not expressing there opinions just because it may give them an infraction.

I can't speak for all the staff, but personally, there's a line with arguments that shouldn't be crossed on here. Arguments and debates are healthy, but when people start insulting each other because of a difference of opinions, and you've got teams of people ganging up on each other... that shouldn't be happening. The best way to deal with it is to close the thread to prevent more replies being posted, and explain why, then hand out infractions to any particular rule offenders. At the end of the day, the site has rules, whether you agree with them or not, that you should abide by when you sign up, and when these are smashed, then you should accept your punishment.
That's for me anyway, and I'm sure other mods/admins will agree.
