Interesting but I'm unclear as to whether this is a discussion, debate, papers or all three. As to rules. I follow the belief that you get better from all concerned if you have the greatest freedom to post what you will. You may decide to discuss in which case shorter or Brad's rules make sense, or you may make a reasoned argument based upon an essay or a through composed type of construction. Or you may debate and use quote materials. Or you may simply wish to throw materials into the discussion. It is up the discussion leader to shape it if he has the time. If he doesn't he might think of it as water. Something to be navigated but very difficult to control unless has infinite time, resourses, patience and access to the people he's trying to include or not lose. Control always means you lose something that you want in favor of something that you thought you wanted but didn't like once you got it. One must always consider anything that one writes to be a gift of one time, resources and access to the knowledge. Such respect is key both for the writer and the writee.
