Now, for your info, if a topic (discussed or non-discussed) is somewhat hot in its own genre and has a debate pending (a quality debate and not those bunch of blatant bullshit posts) like How to implement Bitcoins as a payment feature in website (Bitcoin Technical), Real-time Bitcoin price analysis by some Legendary* member in trading with a proven track record (Economics - Speculation), etc.
It truly depends on the intention of an OP whether he/she truly wants a debate or just want to increase his/her post count just to earn an extra penny from their campaign.
