Let the ~~squabbling~~, er, *debating begin!

*While I've only been here about 3+ years, I also have been on a different forum for waaaaay longer where the usually fractious discussions are of more creative endeavors (vs politics [tho a lively off-topic politics sub-forum exists) 😄 would sometimes happen! So...been there.

Better to aim for passionate civility.
