This basically, except in regards to the music forums as well, which more and more often become filled with the type of discussion you're referring to. I've seen too many examples during my recent return of things like members commenting on one misused word in an otherwise constructive on-topic post, changing the entire subject, and inviting other posters who have no interest in the original topic to join the argument to back-up their friends and further warp the discussion.
