There definitely is.

Every few weeks someone posts (pick one)
a) using an opening book is cheating/illegal/evil
b) using endgame databases is cheating/illegal/evil
c) humans should be allowed to use computers when they play computers
d) some other inane assertion
e) all of the above

eveybody yells at everybody for a few days, and then things go back to normal.
