Absolutely. Not everyplace is an appropriate forum for every topic under the sun.

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m driving at. Some folks truly believe all debate must be allowed everywhere “as long as it’s nice.”

"Off topic" is a legitimate reason to downvote a post or comment, even one made respectfully and in good faith.

I do sometimes wish more sites had adopted something like the system Slashdot used, with multiple categories of up or down votes (insightful, informative, off-topic, flamebait, etc.) which users could weight according to their own preferences. The simplistic "either up, down, or neutral" model is a rather blunt instrument.
