Well, there is no such thing as a discussion which is too long.
However, there does come a point where everybody is just treading over
the same points over and over.
People can keep posting if they want to, but I doubt it will affect
the outcome of a vote. It just wastes everybody's time.
Speaking for myself, I try to look at a debate, maybe poke and prod at
it a little to see if anything lurks under a stone, and then take it
all in and try to make the best call. I do tend to look at how
widely-supported an argument is, though the strength of the argument
itself matters more. How many times the argument gets made really
doesn't concern me all that much. So, regurgitating your own argument
basically adds nothing, but a simple ++ to somebody else's adds a
little, and saying something that nobody has yet to point out adds
most of all.
