Half the fun of online discussions is being an armchair whatever. Telling people how to behave sounds awfully judgmental to me.

  If I were trying to get people to stop armchairing, or at least be more productive about it, I would just write a simple personal story about how I used to armchair, possibly with some allegorical overtones.

    That's a great idea. Pick one instance where you got out of the armchair and applied your idea. Inspire instead of creating a guilt trip.

      Argh, Poe's law strikes again. I can no longer tell if this thread is jokingly or seriously armchairing a discussion on how to tell people about the problems of armchairing. To that I say either "well done" or "seriously?".

        My first post was serious, but it was hard to resist creating an online armchair scientist support group.
