Eleatica is a new way of conducting debates online.

Eleatica requires sound arguments to make logical sense. Debates consist of points, which are supported or rejected by votes or further points.

Out-of-place, absurd or ad hominem arguments can still be made, but they are easily spotted and quickly rejected.
