At least, last time we were all arguing, I found the results genuinely useful. However, this is only worth doing if we can stick to Paola's suggestion that we keep complaints about the *way* those arguments are conducted *off* the list. If we can do that, then I think we will be on to a roll (and will break the The Cycle: http://oii.org/lists/lifecycle.html). I understand that having what you think is a well-reasoned point demolished by somebody you've not met is hard. But if you ask me, that's not half as hard as having that idea dismissed by a paying customer across a boardroom table. The more demolition the better; both for the participants, and the community at large. If people are scared by that, remember it's ONLY a mailing list, after all. Hell, post anonymously if you want.
