Generous interpretations raise discourse. Because they're attempts to find strong versions of positions. However, it takes two to tango; worthwhile discussion is a cooperative venture.

(Or HN for that matter; Twitter's rampant death threats shouldn't lower expectations when evaluating other forums.)
