    Interesting. However, I worry about this method’s usefulness in an online forum like piefed. I’d gladly use this method on a platform like Discord which encourages shorter messages and longer conversations. But piefed encourages us to throw walls of text at each other. I’ve found failure in the past when trying to convince others to think for themselves, because they get annoyed by My questions. It’s easier to measure success in the applause of the audience, who are listening instead of speaking, and are therefore more receptive. I can tell an audience what to think, and they will listen, perhaps believe Me. For this reason My debate style is optimised against the metric of the audience.
