If the debate is 100% civil - I personally think it's fine (and actually super informative!) to have lore debates whether they be here on the forums or in a linkshell.
I learned so much stuff just from watching some of the lore-hounds on this forum chat it up and debate with one another over different details. The only time I get uncomfortable is when it's very obviously getting super heated and both sides are taking things way more personally than they should be for a talk over the structure and culture of an imaginary fantasy world. If insults and snide, passive-aggressive remarks are getting tossed around, or folks are taking an extremely "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, BRUH" approach with lore - I feel like it's doing more harm than good.
