> IMO most often complex discussions will devolve into a "let's just jump on a quick call to settle this", for better or worse. The issue then isn't about communication but decision making. Complex topics, for the reasons listed in the linked blog post, should not end up in "let's settle this over a talk". I personally, to this date, consider moderated vBulletin/phpBB-like forums the highest form of long term communication online. There are active discussion threads on many forums I follow that are decades old.
