I think the idea of a nested dialogue is a great one. You could also incorporate reader voting, so that weak arguments get voted off of the dialogue while stronger ones remain, thus winnowing down the argument to its essence over time.

I wonder if our hosts, or any contributors, would be interested in trying out such a procedure as a way of exploring a future disagreement?
