I think as others have said, this depends on the type of
non-denominationalism in question. I'm a member of a denomination but I
am very non-sectarian and strongly dislike denominations battling turf
wars between each other. Perhaps one can be a non-denominationalist, so
to speak, and even be a member of a denomination?

Well, I agree. However, I'd tend to think if such discussions are to
happen, they will happen naturally rather than by saying they should
happen. Posting a specific issue to discuss (and not just "the
homosexuals are taking over" or some such :-)) probably would be a good
way to start that.
Just remember the "TD:" subject tag.
