Genesys, though I agree with what you're saying to a point, there are also playing techniques & features which are unique to yet universal to most all arranger brands & models :
intro, variation, fill, ending, start, stop buttons
auto-accomp styles
voices
left-right hand voice parts
user stored registration Setups
right hand melodic & soloing ideas
acoustic instrument emulation techniques
transitioning between variations
creative ways to to add fills & breaks
muting & adding auto-accomp parts
chord voicing & voice leading
arranger mode: pitch & modulation wheel techniques

I think it's merely the put down TONE used (ei: so and so's keyboard is: "crap", "piece of junk", etc that are precipitating the wars. Every keyboard brand & model has unique features to appreciate & showcase, and and I think this to be a wonderful opportunity for members to showcase them, either in their music, or describing how they are utilized when they perform. This kind of thing might even convince me to consider purchasing that brand/model next time.

when one is playing a 76 key arranger, he can do much more than one who plays a 61 key arranger and that would cause a big argument.
It shouldn't. I think this would be a terrfic opportunity for 76 note keyboard players to SHOWCASE the advantages with an arranger mode song utilizing 76 keys. Afterall, confucious say: "a picture (song) is worth more than a thousand words".

And even if we were to have these discussions, most of the players are concerned with entertaining rather than giving a good musical performance.
I think both qualities (both musicianship & entertainer skill) can be appreciated on their own merits, or together.

if a poster, with the intent of demonstrating a function or use of an arranger, get severely criticized for his playing or singing or sounds used, would feel bad and not want to post again.
Perhaps, but this problem lies in the fact that this forum lacks an active moderator (as other forums have) able to put out fires early enough on. That said, this situation could be completely avoided if people merely display common courtesy and respect towards fellow members.
"Can" this happen? yes. Will it happen? It's anyone's bet.
