You have to understand that there are different needs and different people. I am Type A so I can handle a good debate. There are others though who cannot even stand to see it much less participate in it. They are here for fellowship and it is very, very hurtful to them to see a heated debate. That is why I am recommending two sub forums. One for debate. One for fellowship.
I personally have need for both, not one or the other.
