Are you tired of going into controversial threads and having people not discuss things, circlejerking, or using emotional responses in place of logic? Us too.

Welcome to Actual Discussion!

DO:

• Be civil. This does not mean you shouldn't challenge people, just don't be a dick about it.
• Upvote interesting points and things that are well-articulated, even if you may not agree.
• Be prepared to back up any claims you make with an unbiased source.
• Admit when you are incorrect or spoke poorly. Upvote when you see others correct themselves or change their mind.
• Feel free to be a "Devil's Advocate". You do not have to be a believer either side of an issue in order to generate solid points on a view.

DO NOT:

• Call people names or label people. We fight ideas, not people.
• Mindlessly downvote people you disagree with - only downvote people that do not add to the discussion.
• Be a bot, spam, or engage in self-promotion.
• Duplicate posts from within the last month unless new information is surfaced on the topic.
• Strawman.
• Copy entire article in your post body. It's just messy.
