Avoiding protracted debates

I love Charles Miller’s Fishbowl. His latest entry introduces his rules for argument. Read them, follow them and save a truck-load of time avoiding protracted debates in the future. Heck, if everyone stuck to them the overall productivity of the internet would probably increase by a factor of ten.

I have a handful of messages in my "postponed-msgs" mailbox that I will delete as soon as I no longer care enough to send them. Same principles, different medium.
