in reply to Feature Request: Most Divisive Nodes

Hmmmm. While this might be an 'interesting' look, I'm not sure it would promote the general well-being of the monastery. Sadly, many of us are not very good at handling differences of opinion in a constructive manner, and such a 'Most Divisive Nodes' list might serve to throw further fuel on flame wars that were happily dying out.

Based on discussions I've observed in the chatterbox and some of the language war threads that have sprung up, I'd rather down-play our differences and present a more united front.

    Mmm yeah that's one of my most glaring weaknesses: naively only seeing the positive side.
    I'm thinking of the fascinating sociological observations and the chance to locate areas of discussion where further research would be most valuable, while forgetting about the flame wars.
