IMO such posts mustn't be closed to debate but the contrary, I think it's needed to discuss such highly disputable opinions whenever they show up (also in a gaming clan forum).
We already had that and came to the conclusion that these matters should not arise here. There are many different worldviews on some topics, they seem to be quite rigid at times. As a result, these discussions usually escalate quite fast and no such thing as empathy comes up from any side.
