It could be very liberating to everyone - the hypothesizer, the cross-examiner, the public and even the fence sitters (the lurkers, if you will). On the other hand, official policymakers may only ignore serious exchanges at their peril. cvj, as once a trial lawyer I sort of look at the (deliberative) process as a form of public cross examination (akin to a peer review of a scientist’s hypothesis where the ultimate goal being to find the scientific truth).

Thailand was able to do it, ousting Thaksin then installing a junta for a period of time then giving the government back to the people. If we are what we say we are, a rational, democracy crazy, freedom-loving people, we can do this kind of route. The reason is simple--we are not yet ready to do the right thing. We dain to lose our property or even our voices for a short period of time.

The only way i can think of is to engage the truth teller/troll in a conversation.
