Maybe any thread that aspires to Great Debates status could be forced to “play the minors,” as it were, in the putative Looney Bin before graduating to the Show.

You’re talking about my all-time favorite Doper! I didn’t know it was against the rules to mention his name. Yes, he claimed that SSM did not exist because the word “marriage” had a specific definition that could not be changed. His favorite response to anyone expressing disagreement was “Not an argument.”
He also insisted that only cars should be allowed on roads and that women were incapable of writing fiction. Oh, and he vowed that if he ever heard the term “C-level” in a job interview, he would singlehandedly bring down the company.
