Can you give more examples of the kind(s) of political discussion you want to do better in?
I mean, I understand what you want to avoid, because you list many examples of that, but I’m not sure what you want to have, other than a political discussion, with some group of people of some size in some circumstance.
For instance, the kinds of advice I might consider suggesting for internet discussions on your site, internet discussions on other sites, town meetings, door to door canvassing, discussions with friends and family, and discussions with political opponents when you are running for office are somewhat different, and they also involve different amounts of risk.

-Am thinking of the following: -Discussion with friends online, in semiprivate systems. -Discussion on forums -Discussion on my own site.
But in those discussions, I would be interested in talking about avoiding mindkilling if it goes beyond discussion.
