Another discussion group to which I belong has the delightful
practice of "calling pizza." Whenever an OT: thread becomes overheated
and tends toward the acrimonious any member can invoke the call. It
suggests: "instead of continuing THIS debate let's all go out and have
some pizza." The group then quietly drops the thread with no further
discussion and gets back "on topic."
