Comment on Recursive Discussion: A new way to debate

Comments

I propose a discussion system, where the rules are strictly enforced meaning on breaking them some number of times, after several warnings you are ejected from the discussion.

This seems to be a step backwards; instead of educating the debaters on a fluid congress of debate, it sets up hurdles and penalizes offenders. Ultimately, I think the recursive method of argument will result in cyclical hashes of thought, without the finality of debate providing an impetus for resolution.
