OK, let's, in a wider, theosophical point of view. What somebody 
wants is not necessarily what's best for that person. For example, if 
somebody is an alcoholic, is giving them liquor what is best for them? 
If somebody is addicted to making others upset or angry, for the sole 
purpose of making them upset or angry, is it in their best 
interests to them a forum? If there is a discussion, and there is a 
person dedicated to driving everybody out until they are the only ones 
left, is it in their best interests to allow them to do so?
