Sadly, when you start a public discussion, you cannot control the 
direction that others take that discussion. You can only go with the 
flow, or resist, with as much grace as you can manage.

So, only those using Discourse are allowed to discuss the pros and cons 
of using Discourse? That might be a bit biased.

The more important question is "is now the right time to make a 
decision?"
