I'm really sad when i have to read such bitter comments as yours. Maybe it's really the better choice to have the conservatory closed if people like you felt so offended.

just for clarification:
Myes, I'm also not very impressed with the apparent implicit equation of "euro posters with anti-us views" to "pit-vipers" and "nitwits who ignore good arguments in favor of statements that fit their narrow views."
Even though it isn't there explicitly, the jist of the post does seem to be that a select few deserve the Alleinschuld while the rest just got caught up in the mix.

That said, the fact remains that people mostly were talking past eachother anyway, so that there was little point to most of the discussions even as they were being held. As such, I doubt I will miss the forum very much, even though writing there did help me to develop a few arguments in another essay that I was writing for a course, so it wasn't a total loss

But in all I would also conclude that this experiment was a failure, as it didn't add much to an ebook forum other than to show that people who read books come from all kinds of different backgrounds
