Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests

Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

Not sure what the OP means by "wordsmithing." To me, a wordsmith is an exceptionally creative writer. For example, H.L. Mencken would be a wordsmith extraordinaire.
