Everyone gives out their points from their perspectives. They must cite those points so no one disagrees. All points must be true and valid. Problems start when there's truth to both sides that opposite members are on and they cannot simply agree to agree/disagree with each other. If Rules would permit that and members would do that then a lot more points would come out rather than flame wars. Anything other than that should be averted in any way possible. That's my opinion to what a proper Discussion should look like. P.S. People shouldn't treat it as a competition, as long as the best points come out from both sides from both people then why disagree with each other? Say the truths of your side, don't oppose the truths of the other side, do that and the other side shall do the same. Most truths don't oppose each other by nature anyway. This is why citing is required. Any uncited arguments should be labled as incorrect and ignored as such. A simple "Please cite your arguments if you want us to pay attention to it." never hurts though but no further replies should be made until the arguments in the original post is properly cited. Again this is my opinion from my perspective.
