Let's wait for the release and the coming uproar when some dreams and hopes get finally shattered, for sure.

I'm with you that discussions should be rational and polite. The emotions often show how much people are involved in the DnD world. Sometimes I wonder about the topics, a bit from the perspective of an outsider, but mostly I like intense game related discussions, it's almost an additional part of the game and playable by it's own rules. And informative. Games without big forums are boring.
For example the current discussion about Ketheric and the trailer, I usually don't care that much about such stuff, but interesting aspects and informations came along and broadened the picture for me. Useful.
Generally I think at least this forum is very civilized, not much to complain about.
