You can avoid these types of "uncomfortable" debates... or usually arguments on forums. You can't with linkshells. Two(?) people basically taking their argument into a linkshell means the other 100ish people are forced to look at that linkshell. Hiding that linkshell means you hide the other 100 people who may be trying to speak with you.
Two peoples' debate or argument should not intrude on 100 other people.
