Come you two, play nicely, we all have enough in common surely to allow the occasional deviation of topic without calling each other out, it's not as if the discussions get out of hand. In my view, it's just like a social comment, similar to what you hear on the police radio, or discuss the weather etc, not on topic, but it all helps to break the boredom and enables us to get to know a bit more about our fellow members.
Surely you realize that whenever there is a heated disagreement in this thread, whether with me or anyone else, that it's always the same common denominator?
Surely you realize that individuals have left this thread because of the bully tactics of that same common denominator?
Surely if that same common denominator would back off the caustic rhetoric there would no issue? And clearly he can't because he just posted more rhetoric.
If his posts on occasions winds you up that much, surely its best to just ignore those posts and skip past them to something more appealing to you, no

I have to do this on many occasions because the topic matter is of zero interest to me, such as the discussions on RF, Hams, programming and on occasions some off-topic posts also get to me, but then sometimes, I can learn something from those, if I'm inclined to read them, it all depends on how busy I am with other things. It's much the same with the discord channel, very often a lot of the chat is way over my head, other times not so, and I join in if I think I can add something, otherwise I just lurk in the background.
If people have decided to leave the group, then that is as far as I'm concerned, their decision, but I really can't help but think that they cut their nose off to spite their face, all they had to was be picky about what they read. Its just life, we do it all the time when we read newspapers, magazines, or even watch TV, we select programs / topics that interest us and ignore those that don't, simples.
