There are a couple moderators assigned specifically to the section and they do the best they can but it is hard when they also get involved in the debate. Overall though I think it is worth it to allow the discussions. If some members don't like them they don't have to read those threads but that is no reason to not allow the other members to discuss that stuff. If it becomes a popular enough topic you might even make a subforum for serious discussion.

I have to agree with you for the most part. A lot of times serious conversations lead too a heated debate, but that shouldn't mean you put a stop to it. As long as people are contributing to the topic at hand, and aren't trolling or doing personal attacks let them be. An if their a few certain users who are deal with them accordingly.
