Review some past posts about the efficacy and need for an outlet, without
this safety valve, it's argued that the rest of LUGNET would see unpleasant
debates break out.
I can't speak for others but I daresay I enjoy debating among friends whom I
share another common interest much more than I would enjoy debating
somewhere else.

I've seen constructions and creations from everyone here that I recognise,
except one solitary person. And that person says they're a collector and
reseller, which is a perfectly legitimate way to enjoy the hobby, in my
view. Not everyone has to build.
So challenging people on whether they are builders or not seems not quite
"big tent" enough. You don't have to be a builder to enjoy LEGO.
But I suspect your larger question is "are you debaters all LEGO hobbyists,
or are there people here who just debate and do nothing else?".
I would answer that we're almost all here primarily because of the brick,
with a few exceptions. And those exceptions are the sorts of people I tend
to ignore.
Here's the main point though:
no one is forcing you to read this group, and as long as debate remains
confined here, no one is forcing you to read debate topics elsewhere either.
So why do you care?
