I took the liberty to create a [conversation with the exact same title from the transcript of our chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/8595/conversation/the-first-flamewars), where the reactions of the "avid users" and some comments are captured.

Now to the point.

### What went wrong? Where can we do better? How can we ensure such a Flamewar does not happen again?

**Note**: In order to facilitate a better 'process' when these things happen, it is, on the balance of things, appropriate to show the deleted comments. If this discussion starts to 'reignite' the debate, or loses its 'constructive' and 'positive' slant, then this entire question will be removed.

As a meta-discussion on the flame-war, it seems appropriate to include deleted comments that are not visible to regular users.
