That is a brilliant paper, I expected it to be centralised around logical fallacies (which is how I view arguments/debates) but it goes into so much more detail around the nature of online debate.

It's interesting to dive into the factors that influence online debates; reputation, trolling, anonymity, echo-chambers, the hive mind, language barriers, commercial interests.... There's so much more to an online discussion than just the argument presented...
