And that community, however it is composed, has years of experience in drawing boundaries that keep the discussion civil, constructive, and on-topic - at MO it is very easy to shut down most controversial discussion since it is rarely about mathematics. On top of that, I'm not certain how many of the examples that the OP cited would be on topic there, either - they also try to limit subjective and controversial topics. | |

The moderators on academia stackexchange seem to do a reasonable job with that site even though none of them claims serious expertise in academic administration: academia.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators | |
