I feel there's more value in having an inclusive culture than in trying to reshape the culture in the image of what some segment of the population wants. If we're just talking about what's considered appropriate behavior and belief, and not about things that are actively harmful, I'm always going to lean towards not restricting people's freedom. I mean if you want to express your resistance to something there's always downvotes and comments.

In practical terms it doesn't seem likely that this subreddit is going to split itself by enforcing the norms of a subset of the sub on everyone, and I think the larger community is still so small that it's going to be difficult for a new group with a more restrictive culture to gain much momentum. Really the most benign and ideologically neutral way to make a split group would be to have a community where newbie and creation questions were banned, to try to skew the population more towards older systems, and though I'd love to see the retention of older systems, I have a hard time even seeing something like that take off.

I think part of the issue too is that this is a very fringe community, and people interested in one "weird" thing are going to be more likely to be "weird" in other ways too. And while forming an identity may be important, identity is personal, and in the end what others in our communities are into and how they behave is ultimately out of our control.
