I don't see why these discussions have to take place in forums dedicated to a television show.
They're not. That's precisely why we have an OFF topic forum.

Additionally, as for myself, I have a lot of friends that I've made through this fandom. This message board is the only place that they all congregate regularly and so if I want to have discussions with friends beyond the scope of fanfic and the show, this is the best, if not only, place to do so. And often in the process I make more friends as I realize that someone whose fic tastes don't match mine does have similar movie tastes or restaurant tastes or political ideas or shares a great recipe that I want to make or whatever. None of those have to do with Lois and Clark or the show or the fanfic and by your logic, all would have to be banned.
