AFAICT, the question which sparked this thread was not a support
request.
I can understand that you want to make Debian advocacy off-topic on
#debian, to avoid flame wars. But advocacy-related discussions should
not be sent straight to our alternatives (or competitors), either. I
don't fear that the alternatives propagate a too biased view, but the
message contained in such a refusal to discuss alternatives: a
profound belief in our own elite status.
IMHO, #debian-advocacy (if it exists) would be a better choice than
#ubuntu.
