I can understand the desire to just talk about the trade. There's always something divisive that derails a fairly benign discussion. However it's a pretty privileged position to just want to plug your ears and go la la la la, when there are people who follow this team who care a lot about these topics. It affects their daily lives. This is a community after all.
Having said all of that, if the original posts were just acknowledged and discussed organically within the thread, it would have been completely fine. It went off the rails when the original poster was piled on for bringing up a very on topic point of concern.
