Dealing with highly contentious discussions

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

@codinghorror

At the meeting, a person is not allowed to dominate the conversation. If you need to make a point that is going to take some time to explain, ask for 5 min. You will have 5 minutes to make your point with no interruptions. No one should speak for more than 5 minutes at a time.

I still want to come back to this @sam and @eviltrout for fast moving discussions, limit how often the most talkative people are posting, so everyone has a chance – and potentially also limit brand new users from posting as well under the same conditions.
