Stopping or postponing technical posts on -dev will always be counter
productive. Just create a topic in another list (-politics sounds a good
one), forward all further responses there and if necessary create a new
post to -dev to carry on the original discussion. The people involved in
the -politics discussion can then carry it on somewhere else.
