Dear normal people being confronted with hardcore negative nerds (there are also a lot of positive, friendly ones) in your comments, there are two terms you need to know about, IMHO:
- Bike Shedding (AKA the Law of Triviality) [1] meaning that some try to move the discussion to a tangent that they know more about and
- Pigeon Chess [2] meaning that someone will completely ignore context and emotions because they want to make their point

- You CAN have rules to simply kick them out. No need to go into their preferred mode of pigeon chess [1] or bike shedding [2].
- You MUST have these rules and be prepared to enforce them.
Read his book. I have been saying this for many years. It's never too late to start. 3/5
