A good answer comes from the book called "Big Fat Liars". In there, the PhD talks about groups. Groups are anything from friends, to institutions, to forums.
Well, a Dr Maslow enumerated that people have needs. One need is people's need to belong to groups and a group has a need that other's belong to it. Every group adjusts it's 'generalizations' to accomodate it's need to belong.
Every forum has mini group cliques who need to belong to their clique. Forums that unjustly ban drive away the better expertise posters in favor of irrational cliques. Many forums degrade over time and result in lessor quality and bitter cliques who instead should have been banned because they cannot open discuss, only insult. Any forum is only as good as the webmaster's personal values. It's a crap shoot.
The only censorship free website forum is Slashdot.com. That is why it's members size is enormous. True freedom brings abundance.
You have a need to belong to that forum. Why?
And what specific part do you need, not need?
Anyway the solution suggested by "Big Fat Liars" is self-respect. Some groups give up their self-respect to keep bitter members because the group needs to belong.
Members also compromise their self-respect at times to belong to that group and accept it's established generalizations, however wrong or right.
So keep your self-respect. Remember, the bigger the group, the bigger the lies, to attract the lowest denominator.
And with most groups, your forum,
Agreement is strong.
Disagreement is weak.
Rarely can people openly discuss. People are too collectively irrationally emotional.
