I think our views are probably pretty similar on this. I started that thread as a lighthearted reaction to the near hysteria I saw on the original knife thread. This is the misc section so as such anything goes, if people don't like the non-bike content then they might want to stay clear. Threads like pastry lover's (and this one, once a few of us had 're-railed' it!) are transient, people are drawn to the argument and as such perpetuate something which would otherwise fizzle out fairly quickly.
The claim that these threads are an indication of the decline of this forum are, like so many before, specious. If all you want to discuss is bikes and cycling then perhaps the fixed 'scene' isn't for you. I find it (and this forum) appealing for the very fact that it is relatively inclusive and that the people here have a range of interests.
