I have thoroughly enjoyed the discussion (it wasn't really a debate) generated by the original article.

Not really sure whether there's any obligation to be fair, balanced or anything else.

It reminds me of a radio interview I did years ago with a journalist known for his "robust" (i.e. controversial, rude) opinions. I had a talk with one opf his researchers beforehand who said, in reply to my question about his lack of impartiality, "brian knows fights make good radio".

What these threads have done is to increase exposure, get posters blood up and so on. Maybe it's not journalism but it's sure good marketing.

Keep up the good work.
