Isn't it possible to have discussion, and even argument, without criticizing statements? For example, if you think something is incorrect, you can post what you think *is* correct. It's possible to disagree and be civil. It's also possible to be angry and civil. It's possible to convey anything you might wish to convey while still being civil.
I don't even see how it shuts down discussion. I'd think disrespect would shut down discussion much more effectively.
