It's interesting, also, that these threads attract interest like no other, so it can't be all bad.
And paedophiles attracts far more interest than paediatricians, so I'm not entirely convinced that your argument holds water, George ... !

You don't need to be convinced! I see it as a near-fact. Whenever I click on argumentative threads, I see about a dozen member names also listed as viewing the thread. On other threads, it might be two or three people. Let's not bring paedophiles into the discussion.
If you want to use an extreme example, then so will I. With some of the threats made on this thread, it did occur to me it was a bit like the threats made by the commandants of Japanese POW camps in WWII. Like, if even one person escaped, then something like a dozen others might be selected and executed, to punish a high number, just because you have a grievance against one person. Insane.
