In my experience, that tends to create an environment where a few people who are just really good at aggressive debate attract a bunch of followers who kind of warp the atmosphere of the forum to suit their own views, making it an unwelcome place for all but a certain type of individual. And with a membership who are all in lockstep there just isn't much to say to each other unless they get to gang up on some interloper, so the forum just ends up becoming boring.
And no, that's not specifically about Sansa. I've seen it elsewhere.
