After all, this is the
Boxing Ring, is it not?


I think that what is intended is that people are allowed to take opposite sides here. Opposition is not allowed on the LWP. In a boxing ring, contestants fight, but they're still not allowed to poke people in the eye with their thumb or hit below the belt.

I believe the header reads: "Here we may stage "knock down drag outs," so as to avoid spilling beer and busting up furniture over there. " (bold added)

So, yes, but it is accepted, but optional.
