1000 posts in which it was not necessary to use "Godwin's law" 
seems like a great success to me :-)

D is "so open" and developers so heterogeneous. It is normal 
that, time to time, forum will transform in a real agora where 
all this egos and ideas are confronted... It is not good for 
enterprise/marketing purposes, but very democratic.

May be a trending analysis of these "threads" and some 
participant profile correlation could be useful.

Better than banning this kind of threads (in my opinion) is to 
give developers a "quick" way to expose it's needs (without 
discussions) and to know the needs of other developers (without 
confrontation) based on surveys:

* Flutter proposes me, time to time, to fill out a survey about a 
lot of aspects including the possibility to propose some 
improvements I consider necessary.

What if "dub" proposes time to time a link to an official "D" 
survey?  It will attract people using D that is not participating 
on forum threads.  May be it shows up a better picture of the 
community and reduces the need of "visions" confrontation.
