I don't know about the attitudes of others that have posted for sure, although I strongly suspect some will agree with me.
I do not propose eliminating debate. Especially the debate that is genuine. I propose that the people should throttle themselves, and present their arguments in threads that are appropriate for the debate, and leave some other threads alone.
I think that even though the motivation is different, the atitude is the same as those that I click on the spam button for... My product/opinion is so important that you need to hear it again, regardless of whether the time/place is appropriate.
While I understand passion (I am passionate about helmets and other safety equipment) I don't insist on inserting discussion of helmets into every thread, even safety related threads. I probably have posted a few too many times about helmets though, and as I believe I said in my initial post, I need to think too.
I hope that there are always live threads on each of the wide variety of highly important and controversial topics, I just want to be able to seek refuge in some threads... Like this one (so far).
