Description

Paraphrasing from a discussion:

When the conversation hits a certain depth, enforce a new grammar. Only numbers and/or links are allowed, perhaps. The reason is cutting off flame wars misses out on great antifragile opportunities. Sometimes deep in a flame war is when someone post the most valuable statistic or link. Perhaps the language could be called "chill". It could allow what used to be flame wars to continue in a more level headed, scientific discussion.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry point; the repository description also says it is archival. Start by determining whether this proposal has an implementation target and defining the grammar's scope and integration point. Done would require an agreed specification or concrete prototype, but the issue does not define either.
