Honestly, it would be amazing and would elevate the level of discourse here so much if there were an initial period of “clarifying questions ONLY” before anyone was permitted to give advice.
I fully understand that there’s no way, logistically, to enforce this.
But honest to God, sometimes it feels like a race to weigh in and control the narrative, rather than taking a breath, reading carefully what’s being said and what’s not being said, and engaging posters through asking rather than telling. I know I’m dreaming but, a 24 hr Socratic Period would be such an amazing culture shift.
