"We see civil debate as a healthy endeavor. People can disagree, but they don't have to be disagreeable in their discourse."
This seems to me key. People will always disagree over technical issues, what components they like best, etc. That kind of factual debate seems fine to me. Unfortunately, some people take a debate over the issues as a personal attack, and then respond with a personal attack. That, in my experience, is when things usually get out of hand. Then it's no longer about the topic, it's about the personalities. There are a few people who routinely make this mistake.
One of the best approaches I've seen is the one that's used over at Audio Circle. When a discussion starts to spiral out of control, they move it into a quarantine area, the way you move misplaced posts. That often cools things down, without the need for censorship, threats, and other unpleasant actions. So as you point out does nipping the problem in the bud, though I understand your problem here.
