I’ve been sketching out ideas for a tool that tries to solve the online discussion problem, too. The conclusion I have come to is that you need to actually have a minimum word requirement in addition to a limit. I like the idea of rounds but have always felt structured debate was easily game-able. I think there also needs to be some form of moderation, whether managed or community, whereby interested volunteers can help guide the course of the argument if it starts devolving. I would love to try this tool but I don't use twitter ):
