Like many good ideas I've seen come up on this site, I think in practice it is much harder to handle then in principle.
Say you create an off topic discussion thread for something like this. Ultimately the moderator's would spend way too much time on these threads and not enough on the rest of the board. With all the members this site has, it is their duty to try and keep discussion to all things blu-ray.
BELIEF is a very difficult thing. People are passionate and stoic in their ideologies and when opposing ideologies meet, things turn ugly. I'm sure there are many on this board who could have enlightening conversations about these themes in movies and Passion of the Christ is a great example. Any discussion would quickly fill up with idiots throwing in their 2 cents or saying something to see what happens. Such is the internet when people can hide behind Avatars and anonymity.
Call me a cynic, but I think there are just too many members on this site who couldn't be trusted to stay on topic and keep the discussion to Blu. Reiterating what I stated above, at that point the mods would spend too much time banning/warning posters in those threads and that is a waste of everyone's time.
