Alas, controversy and debate do not always go hand-in-hand. Highly controversial comments and posts often contain a lot of comments, but many of them end up being people yelling past each other, rather than engaging with each other.
They have the surface form of a debate, but it's very low-quality, consisting of people trying to talk to the audience by scoring points off each other, rather than organically engaging with each other.
