Not only did it not work there, AP.COM was formed because BJ21 had become so nasty and there were no backoffs. The "peer pressure" you refer to is exactly the problem. There is nothing wrong with telling a poster that their thinking is wrong and why it is wrong. That is useful to the poster and lurkers and is not peer pressure. What must stop is calling the poster names which is not useful and simply generates more name-calling.
