| I don't think there is a catch-all solution.
Maybe an addition to the "Edition War" post sticky:
"Remember the pitfalls of being anti-anything, be it Winona Ryders latest haircut, Micheal Bays latest action fest, or an edition of your favorite RPG. You risk being - whether you want it or not - being more rude, and you provoke people disagreeing with you. Monitor yourself and make you express your opinion adequately, avoiding insults, baits or rudeness.
But better yet - rather talk about what you love and like."
Mods, but maybe more importantly any poster worried about Edition Wars should focus on "positive" things. What do they like and why do they like it. What questions do they have on a specific topic - be it in-game, a rule or something else. Report cool experiences you had and explain or ask how to replicate them, or bad experiences you had and ask how to fix them.
