It's not rules and structure. It's no more stupid threadjacks. It's no more underhanded insults. It's ending the idea that we're adversaries and reinforcing the idea that we both want "what's best", no matter what that is. We don't have to be aimed at the same solution, of course.
I was just called "ignorant" and told to "stfu" by dksuddeth for the Nth time, and I just keep thinking, if he didn't think this was some sort of stupid competition, would he still be so stubborn and angry? I arrive at the same answer every time: no. If we view this is an exercise in learning and finding solutions, maybe we can reduce the adversarial garbage that clogs on Politics.
