    1) I believe the idea of cross-posting it to .general was to get other
(i.e. those that don't frequent .off-topic) peoples opinions. Instead
someone merely posted their opinion of where it should be held and said
"Who's coming ?".
    2) There were plenty of suggestions of doing something outside America,
but someone ignored those suggestions and just posted their opinion of where
it should be held and said "Who's coming ?".

    That doesn't sound like 'focusing all discussion', that sounds like
someone trying to force their views onto everyone else.
