 * To reply to an argument (e.g. to argue against it), click the edit link next to an existing argument and edit using indentations to distinguish your reply from the original argument. Indentations are created by prefixing your comments with stars (*). One star is for a 1st level indent. Two stars (**) is for a 2nd level indent (i.e. replying to a reply). Three stars (***) is for a 3rd level indent (i.e. replying to a reply to a reply). Your reply should be brief (2-3 sentences) and SIGNED with --~ (unsigned replies will be removed).
