This site doesn't cater only to 4e fans, and I do believe that the mods have stated that they like it that way.
Since some games are better suited to some play styles than others, threads comparing and contrasting the suitability of different versions of D&D for different styles of campaigns can be constructive even if many of the participants don't like every game discussed. Limiting people to only discussing games they like is silly. I don't want somebody to be excluded just because they disagree with you guys. The key here isn't WHO takes part in a discussion, but how somebody behaves in the discussion. If somebody wants to blame everything on Mearl's underwear then ignore it and let the mods deal with it.
Of course ENworld doesn't cater only to 4e fans, that's not what I was implying, nor is it something I would want. Diversity is great. And while you might find it silly, it should be pretty obvious by now that the "HOW" doesn't work well, which is why I suggest the "WHO" approach. If people were just a little more restrained, the "HOW"-approach is definitely better, but a lot aren't, and repeated warning/bannings apparently doesn't change things.
