now, you are suggesting that all posters follow a type of pre-determined 'Form'
with which to submit replies...
sorry, i have enough 'Forms'... or standardized submissions in my life...
i'd much rather read honest, from the gut discourse
there are plenty of places to 'present essay papers', formal Debate presentations
that you think are of higher class...
think of the homespun, cowboy- philosopher Will Rogers www.brainyquote.com...

What do you think a thread filled with random thoughts will lead to?
I for one believe it will lead to the same irony this thread faced. Starting from personal insults ---> anger ---> rage ---> nothing useful produced through the discussion.

The topic is about productive discussions.
How about post something on topic and tell us how ATS should discuss the issues at hand?
Should they insult each other when ever the chance of disagreements come?
