At the risk if being naive, perhaps this list could use a bit of
inspiration -
to see if we could help the discussion to be more useful.
There is a book written by Michael Kahn: "The TAO of Conversation".
The primary point is that in an idea conversation, there can never be
an opinion which is right or wrong. Attempting to support an opinion
helps us to understand the opinion even if we totally disagree with that
opinion.
While I agree with both of the opinions of Dave McGuire and Liam Proven,
it seems difficult to figure out exactly which is more useful because they
seem so angry at each other.
We could use a bit of "Barn Raising".
