I don't really understand this whole argument.
What's wrong with discussing Halacha? If anything, it's great that it's debated. No-one is telling you how to hold.
The object of this thread, in my eyes at least, is to arouse others of important Halachos that may not be well known, and it's your job to get a final conclusion. There should be no reason it can't be debated.
If someone comes onto an online forum and takes everything he reads as fact, from strangers nonetheless. That's on him.
