Yeah.  I did that about a year and a half ago and it made a difference.
Though o-t.debate is somehwat necessary, I think that its destructive in
nature.  That's the effect I've observed with myself, at least.

Yeah.  But even getting deeper than that into plan offensive posts (I won't
list specifics) is irritating and doesn't foster goodwill here.  But the age

a minus.  It could be one of those experiments, like the article rating
system...over time it could get refined.
