Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated?

Gotta always be ready to stop hitting the post button and delete instead. Typically, I write things in a separate text program and read it over twice before posting it. If it contains something which could be considered mean, I either find a way to rephrase it or I just don't post it. (Most of the time. I'm sure I've slipped up.)

As we said in the 70's, "Give a hoot -- don't pollute!"

LOL, Erik! It would be interesting to see what was most "hotly debated" not by counting up the posts in each category, but to see how many times a thread about "A" is diverted to a discussion about "Hotly Debated Topic B."

It’s like those threads where someone is discussing, say, preamplifier impedance requirements and then all of a sudden it’s time to warn against "the romex in your wall" or "room nodes" and then the thread (and the poor OP) is never referenced again.

In other words, we take a look at the weird right-angle turns taken in threads to find out what is hottest.
