I don't think the thread should be shut down. The whole forum is here so that people can find out more about life in TV. There is a giant myriad of opinions here in TV, contrary to what many who've never even been here think.
I think it's a good thing if people can read and see that TV is not what it's often accused of being: "Nothing but old, white, rich, R's". That is far from fact or reality and the discussions on this board are evidence of it.
This thread and other recent ones like the gay marriage one show a huge variety in opinions and in fact, some gay/lesbian posters said they liked reading that there are plenty of people posting both sides of the issue here, and it made them have a lot fewer reservations/hesitations about moving here.
That is a good thing, I think. These topics can be discussed with a balance of differing opinions, without mentioning the dang politicians and parties whose goal is to divide us.
And if people don't want to read this thread or others, they have the freedom to choose not to read it. And they also have the freedom to block certain posters' writings from their view here.
