I'm disappointed to see anyone post something on this subject, since it invariably results in yet another endless round of bickering.

People have opinions on the subject. And a lot of disagreement. I don't think it's been awful.
But then again, I've never had a problem with being shouted at. So some may perceive me as being "desensitized" to the bickering you cited......
In regard to the bickering, I've thought for quite some time there should have been a forum here for "hot-button" issues ("DBT", "snake oil", digital issues, etc.), to shield those who cannot stomach the flamethrowing.
I didn't word my earlier post well, since I'm not the least bit concerned about flames. It's more a matter that this is one of those issues that has been debated forever-or at least for the 30 years or so I've been involved with this hobby-and has no resolution, so we get subjected to an endless rehash of the same old tired arguments (on both sides). It takes up a lot of space and goes nowhere. And, yes, I can just skip it, but it seems to me that the time and effort could be better expended on topics that might actually be informative rather than merely uselessly argumentative.
But I do like like your idea of a separate board: Why not call it "Dead End Alley?"
That's better than anything I've come up with!!! .....
would argue Prop Head serves a similar function.

Isolation Ward is for subjects like Brilliant Pebbles and vacuum tube motherboards. Also repetitive threads initiated by the same posters on subject matters like absolute polarity.
Prop Head is for scientific matters like why one amp topology is better than another or why a new performance parameter better correlates to subjective performance. Or why we prefer the sonics of vacuum tubes.
And naturally, both forums have their flameouts as well.
I was thinking of a general board for heated discussion, that would not necessarily fit into far-out tweaks for Isolation or scientific matters for Prophead. Those who don't mind the heat just go to that board regularly, and those who do mind it won't have to worry about flame wars ruining their enjoyment of the normal forums.

Things 5, 10, 20 years or more ahead are bound to draw the fire of knuckle draggers, mossbacks and chest beaters. What else is new?
