And, frankly, that is in significant part BECAUSE debates over here tend to aggressive ranting, while on the FB people actually do engage in discussions, attend to others' positions and, therefore necessarily, sometimes change their minds.

I thought we all understood that this board serves to divert less-interesting discussions that would otherwise encumber the FB, much in the way that Old Navy and The Gap help keep the proles out of Banana Republic (and thank G*d for that). Those of us who invest ourselves here are doing the FB a favor, which it repays us by letting us skip reality TV sometimes.
