I think people are trying to find the happy medium between a cut and dry debate, and the flamewars that sadly all too often take focus on threads that had great potential. This was merely a place to start - information was presented by opposing sides - and there may certainly be more than 2 views. I agree with Maleficent that the passion that is perhaps more easily felt in other threads is absent, but it takes skill to use that passion as an asset to your argument and not to let it BE the argument. Perhaps the next step would be an evolution of civilized debate with the awareness for the need of balance in passion/emotion in the response.
