All I can say is that the value of this forum is going to be determined by the quality of the content. Lurkers and would-be contributors or even folks looking for help will eventually shy away if this turns into the wild west.
I've learned to quickly click Back to view other threads or to move to other forums altogether when I come across discussions that are nonsense or emotional, often irrational rants.
I agree that some filter to allow selective viewing of posts or even the ability to organize the topics into more distinct categories might help us quickly find helpful info; locate questions that need responses; or just opinions that might be entertaining to read after a long day at work.
Freedom of expression is fine but it would be great to filter out content that one might find aggravating so that we can easily shut the door and not listen.
