And you did it brilliantly. I understand very well the reasons of not pursuing this discussion further upstream, whose subjects have notably come to a very explicit conclusion, thanks to you.

I will definitely dive into your proposals, but concerning this one :

So I’m continuing it here, and will be quoting and responding to the key messages of that discussion here. I hope everyone will continue discussing all of this here as I think it’s quite interesting and important. This is an interesting perspective, but I don’t agree. I think simple tables are absolutely necessary/useful, at the very least for simple aesthetic…

I’m afraid its “TLDR” aspect was detrimental to it 😔  
This too may look as a time sink for some. I guess it also helps to see the level of involvement and curiosity people have 😅

Touché! But in my defense your initial statement in relation to the “Vote limits” was

So I haven’t really tried to convince you. 😄

This is indeed a very good compromise. I would love to support your proposal, but you haven’t indicated this topic of yours. Which one is it?

I have corrected what I said about the portraiture of Coca-Cola because I had mistakenly said the opposite of what I meant 🙃  
Of course I meant to say _“Their success does not exempt them from making **good** ecological, ethical and moral choices.”_  
I am not a native English speaker and I must admit that the use of the word “straw” in this context puzzles me. The Urban dictionary doesn’t help me either. I guess that implies that the argument is either peremptory or too inappropriate, so to be sure could you please briefly explain to me the subtext?

The Pareto’s Principle proves you right. But usually I would have gone much further in my thinking. Until now I have tried to not waste too much of your time 😂  
I think we can both agree that there are some issues that will remain in disagreement, and that’s Ok. As you implied, the whole point is to give more perspective.
