Whipping dead horses really don't get you far IMO.

To "some" degree, debates can be useful.  For the most part they just
add clutter....

May I weigh in on the other side of this?  



As a programmer that still has a great deal to learn I would say for
myself
that these debates are good learning experiences.   These debates tend
to
become overly technical and overly detailed.   That is very useful for
me to
learn.  Currently  the discussions on free form are especially
interesting.



Without the discussions, and the errors, and the grace with which errors
are corrected, this list would become dry and difficult for me to
swallow.  Sort of like peanut butter without the jelly and milk, if you
know what I mean.



Even the dou - dow wars are learning experiences for me.  :)



So if it were up to me I would say "Play on!"

If by "lately" you mean, "over the past 5 years" then I agree with you.
