In my experience, allowing the discourse to play itself through helps create a more in-depth and intimate community. Treating forum members like grade-school children is discouraging to those of us who would like to form deeper online connections to other members.
Why don't the mods facilitate the discussion in a more productive direction? This can be done just by giving those on the thread a warning that the thread will be closed down if they continue. I am sure there are other less aggressive actions on the part of the mods.

But I do respect their decisions.
