Tompe, I can see your point in general, but think that this may be an exception. It is noticeable that this thread stayed serious for over a hundred posts.
It veered into frivolity as soon as there was the prospect of some members becoming a little heated and cross. At that point several veterans of the lounge section immediately stepped in and dissipated any potential unpleasantness with carefully-placed humour, then adroitly deployed lolcats. (The ladies in question may have been more savvy than you suppose.)
Moreover, I suspect that everything that members needed to say had actually been said by the first hundred or so posts. So a diversion into silliness may have come as a pleasing relief for some. At any rate, lolcats are better than a flame war.
