An outbreak of sanity
At least it's possible in the tech realm.
Not only is Dave Weiner trying to build a bridge between the RSS 2.0 and Atom syndication formats when RSS 2.0 is gaining more and more uses (in comparison, Atom—which isn't a final spec yet—has a lot of promised support from aggregators) but he has set ground rules for a the discussion:
If you make a personal statement about anyone I will delete your post.
If you've ever read any of the RSS vs. RDF/Atom war threads you'll know why that was necessary.
No strikethrough's, no pleading to take the high road. Just deletion.
So stick to technology, formats, protocols, software, user issues, etc.
If you make a personal statement, the whole post will be deleted.
