Host,
1. I prefer discussing issues on the TFP in bite size pieces. Your topics often introduce broad multi-faceted issues. In my responses I try to focus on one point at a time and I try to get to the core of an issue. You often leave my points dangling and unresponded to.
2. The thing I have always respected in great communicators is their ability to present complicated issues in an easy to understand manner with brevity. When I read some of your posts, its like work - which I am taking a break from when I come to TFP.
3) Speaking of great communicators, here is Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Mike Ramerez on the topic of your OP.
