There' a magical way we could stop any of those kind of argument threads, and it could be applied to any type of unwanted thread. It would save the community from a lot of trolling and time wasting threads.
Don't post in a thread unless it represents behavior you want to encourage
Threads that don't get posted in fall to the never-checked second page. People feel the need to flame the OP or post "This is stupid", but that doesn't solve anything. It just bumps it, keeps the thread alive, and encourages other idiots to make similar threads.
Sure, we've all heard "don't feed the trolls". What about just not feeding anything stupid? The point is, posting in a thread, no matter what you say about it, ultimately is promoting that thread and encouraging repeats. This can be used for good by posting in good threads, and bad by posting in bad threads. Think before you post!

In fact, I think I might have just done that for this stupid thread. Learn from my mistakes!
