Yea def posted to wrong sub but agree with the sentiment nonetheless. It just another way to exert control on another person. Some of the biggest contributors on this site, including the dude who created it, don't follow their own stupid pyramid. They follow it when it suites them and when they can throw it in someone else's face as a debate tactic, but overall it's a dumb idea. If someone is being unconstructive in a debate or just being rude, ignorant, etc., Then just stop debating with that person. Why do we need the pyramid Gestapo to come in a be daddy and mommy for us. Just stop debating. Block the person or w.e. Its super simple and puts the responsibility on the individual instead of a bug brother type authority.

level of parent comment (OP): name-calling

level of reply comment: counter-argument + name-calling

assessment: the reply comment drags the quality of discourse in an upward direction on the pyramid of debate
