Musical debate on the other hand really is all about opinions (which as you say are often expressed forthrightly), and also never reaches a consensus. And I almost never look at the Choir thread, but as has already been mentioned I can remember some exchanges with regard to historically-informed performance which indeed became just as animated as those on political subjects sometimes are.
In my opinion the "problem" here is not so much what subjects are talked about but the way they're talked about. I think it would be a lot easier and less artificial to suggest that personally insulting comments be excluded than to censor the range of subjects that can be discussed.
