People become passionate about issues and want to spread the word. As a sub issue, certain kinds of story can allow an otherwise banned topic to go for a few pages (sometimes quite a few).

When I've reached that point, I have to wonder if the threads are really generating discussion or if it has just ended up the usual dog fight with the same people scoring another +1 for essentially the same comments over and over. Threads about police shootings that focus on one race (when was the last report of violence against a Hispanic or Asian?) are a narrow combination of race and firearms discussion.
