Calm down before things get nasty, this isn't Gentoo it's Debian ;D
But seriously, no need for attacking each other here. [OT] is bad
enough, but of course you can just filter [OT] messages to be deleted

And seriously, I've noticed most OT threads and "No more OT" threads
become flamewars. I personally think that these threads are worse than
the actual OT threads.
