What happens is that really really stupid ideas get floated and discussed, but people who aren't stupid avoid the discussions because their brain will fall out if they try ... so then the people who like the stupid idea consider they've formed a 'consensus' amongst all those interested, and think it's the will of the community to push the really stupid idea.
You think this is a stupid idea? You must like pedophiles...etc...
How about a board called "The guardians of good taste" or something, who stomp on bad ideas like this?
There are so many comments that could be made about this template, but...I'll refrain.
