All credit for the intent, Consuelo - I doubt many would argue a rest may be welcomed right now.
At the risk of stating the obvious, though, I suggest none of us has any particular right to force discussion away from any topic by this or by other perhaps more repellent means adopted recently - we have to simply work consensually, and let wither the threads that are overburdened/loathsome/[substitute-your-phrase-of-disapprobation-here]
Otherwise, we tread a short path to anarchy, since we are never unanimous in our views
One person will bury one set of threads, a second will retaliate on different grounds...
In the long run the ony censorship to work will be seen to be self-censorship, surely?
