Let me both acknowledge your questions, and also acknowledge that this forum (the media authoring tools) are not in scale with the needed answers ...

Perhaps a reddit AMA would be better? They have much more flexible/powerful comment system. Edit: Not sure why I am getting down voted for making a suggestion. Oh well.

  Or maybe a Quora session.

      Quora has some onerous policies, unfortunately: https://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/453958676529696769 https://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/453958676529696769 HN is an excellent venue, but is necessarily text oriented, which is an OK tradeoff I think. My next project after Stack Overflow, Discourse, is an 100% open source, flexible multimedia-friendly discussion system. It's GPL V2 on the code side, but we also tried to codify Creative Commons as the default license in every install, so discussion replies belong to the greater community: https://discourse.org https://discourse.org (Surprisingly, the default content licenses for most discussion software tend to be rather restrictive.)

        Still there seems to be only a sandbox install. Why can't we have discourse just like stackoverflow just with technical discussions allowed instead of attacked by both mods and the rules.

        Could you afterwards build a discussion Platform to find (partial) agreement in various political etc topics? That seems like it would have huge impact and is really missing.. thought about starting something like that but never got to it.
