It seems like your question is indirectly asking whether others want an echo chamber, and yet if they question your premise, you ask them to leave so that you can have an echo chamber. That's why the premise of the OP is ingenuine. If it's a true discussion about the health of the forums, telling people to leave would be antithetical to your goal.
Ikara's OP seems hypocritical at it's core considering their later responses, doesn't it? I feel that I am well within being reasonable to question the intent.
