As I mentioned in another thread, maybe it's time to focus bitcoin.org like a typical open source project forum and leave anything outside of the focus to other sites.

bitcoin.org can set up a wiki page where any site running a bitcoin forum can list themselves.

That particular thread has some pure psycho comments about free speech.

There's free speech and there is being a troll.  This site was slammed with trolls during the price collapse from $30.00 to $13.00.  And such behavior is rising with media exposure.

There are enough bitcoin advocates for bitcoin.org to divest itself of hosting anything but discussions most pertinent to the project.

By decentralizing discussion, propaganda attacks become very difficult if not impossible.  With everybody coming to bitcoin.org, it's too easy to disrupt the flow of information.

Nobody's going to the treasury department or the Federal Reserve websites to discuss the U.S. dollar.  Nobody's going to AMD or nVidia sites for quality information about over clocking and other assorted hardware hacks.

There are robust markets for those kind of information.

They don't even need to shut this one down.  They can just start a thread listing other bitcoin forums and encourage people to patronize them.
