I keep wanting a feature in this department, and I am sure it was discussed elsewhere.

“Close discussion for N minutes (after which it is reopened)” … basically when tempers get a bit high, put a topic on hold for a bit so people can calm down and come back to the topic later after they take a fresh breath.

Also maybe the more sophisticated “Boot person out of topic for N minutes” that is less atomic.
