And this is why later on I said I could care less who answers, the problem is when the person posting is more interested in discussing their right to answer rather than actually answering the question.
It happens, welcome to the world of internet forums. That said, I have observed that the number of said posts in a given thread tends to be a reflection of the wording in the OP. You will find very few such posts in threads where the OP says something like, "I'm mostly interested in answers from male dominants", but a crapload of them in threads where the OP says something like, "If you aren't a male dominant, don't answer!!!!" See the difference?

And regardless of the people reading and who the thread belongs to there is the purpose of topic. Where as the topic may belong to the forum the resposibility of the people posting is to remain on topic. When a thread asks for a specific demographic that responce pool has valid results when it is maintained. People might learn a little more when they see how a specific demographic answers a specific question rather than diluting the topic with a gender right fueled "I'm >Blank< and my answer is more important than respecting the specific questions asked by the original poster"
Whether a "non demographic" post is on or off topic is completely dependent on the wording in the OP and/ or the response, IMO. As for people learning more from seeing how a specific demographic answers, is it really that hard to disregard other posts? I'd think not, as you posted earlier that you would do exactly that. I'll concede that sometimes other perspectives turn the topic in a different direction, but I don't really see that as negative.
As for your assertions on "gender right fueled" whatever, ummm... it isn't always about gender. Male subs answer questions directed to doms, and dommes answer questions directed to female subs, and vice versa... oh, and those damned switches!

In addition to that as you have pointed out this is a forum, and because of that all you have to do is start a new thread asking the same question and inviting all gender and power dynamic roles to join in answering, but the Topic point was to ask a specific question to a specific group of people.
There is a reason that cross posting topics is a no-no, and this is pretty much it. From a forum standpoint, having the same discussion in multiple threads/ forums is incredibly messy, as references and quotes tend to fly back and forth between threads, confusing the hell out of people who are reading one but not the other. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that is at least part of the reason for the "anyone can post in any thread" policy. I can say that, for myself, I prefer to keep discussions to one thread.
