For the first time ever in the history of this site, I've shut down the comments field on two posts (the polls) and hidden the results. The reason: the discussion became out-of-control on both sides. It felt like fans of one group were spamming the comments field by leaving messages that didn't forward any discussion and served to alienate people who are not avid fans of that crew. In retaliation, the non-fans were getting abusive to the fans in inappropriate ways.
