You're trying to make a point and you can't determine if the person you're conversing with responded or someone else, or even multiple different people.

I wonder why no one hosts a cocktail party in a pitch black room with everyone using identical voice synthesizers? That's exactly the virtual scenario on this political forum. There is no feedback loop, and without it, conversation is ineffective. Traffic will taper off in this forum (after initial interest) due to the above.

This anonymity idea was not well thought out.
