Arguments aren’t the problem. 

How we argue is.

The word polemics comes from the Greek for “warlike” — serious, contentious argument about beliefs and opinions. Arguments like that are everywhere today — especially on social media.  But too often they turn sour: the subject is lost, and the exchange becomes abuse.

I love discussion — on almost any subject. What I don’t love are trolls, spam, and a screen full of adverts. Over the years I’ve grown tired of the noise and wanted something better. Not to “opt out” of conversation, but to create a space where it can be done differently.

This is a space for people willing to argue strongly and listen carefully, but who will avoid the name-calling and tantrums of the playground.

So: welcome!  Explore, contribute, challenge — and above all enjoy the conversations.
