&gt;My secondary forum about the Wario series has a very upbeat atmosphere without too much in the way of disagreement<p>...but that is a niche topic about a fictional universe. When a discussion forum must deal with real universe topics, like funding community projects, dealing with violence, etc., the forum will import all of the existing viewpoints, many of which may be at odds with each other and&#x2F;or not &quot;positive&quot; in relation to each other.
