Moreover, picking a side in a discussion between users tips the scales in a side's favor and paints the thread as biased towards one end, as some users would have the feeling that they are backed up by someone as esteemed as a moderator, who's also in charge of enforcing the rules, letting them express themselves much more freely than the other side.
Much like how you were quick to shut down a discussion in the cinematic forum, due to panicked complaints here, i expect you to do the same in this case.
