I think every opinion should be fair game, whether it’s the stupidest SJW thing I can imagine, or someone pushing back on some of the stuff we’ve seen in games recently, which I regard as a fair, rightful action.
I do agree that Reee and their ilk have invaded this site in serious numbers, and are creating a much less-enjoyable experience in some threads. ‘Console Warriors’ of any type as well.
I think the key to dealing with that is being a little harsher on people who won’t debate honestly, create an insulting, miserable atmosphere, etc.
Insults and negativity are an interesting one. I think posters should have the freedom to let fly, but at the same time, if you enter a thread and all thirty of your posts for the next two days, are ‘Hurr hurr, incels.’, over and over again, and you’re not contributing absolutely anything or trying, both to the thread or the forum, that’s the kind of poster that needs to go.
The honest debate is less controversial. I really think anyone who can’t seriously respond to a point without throwing strawmen everywhere, stuffing words in mouths, engaging in general disingenuous argumentative tactics, thread after thread, needs nuked, or severe punishment. There’s zero benefit for that kind of thing, for anybody.
You know what though? I may have been lurking a lot longer, but I’ve been posting three months. I don’t really feel like I should be throwing around authoritative opinions as to where things should go. I just want to share my thoughts on the matter.

get banned? I thought they were keeping up with the banter fine.
