Rollo, you've always tried to encourage a live and let live approach in the Blast, promoting respect for all posters regardless of whether they are historians, ranking wizards, students of the game or one-player experts/fans and I think you should continue to have a house with many mansions. The only problem I can see is when chat threads don't have "CHAT" marked in the title, signposting people towards or away from them, according to their wont. I don't see why existing threads need to be merged or deleted but maybe a new lounge space which is not the creation/preserve of any one group of fans/friends could serve to enable posters to get to know each other a bit and improve the general atmosphere.
