I agree with your 4 points for sure.
I see a productive discussion as one where both sides listen to each other and share their views, so that both come away with better understanding of the other's views as well as maybe even learning a little more about their own. And who knows... perhaps even find some common ground. It promotes self growth and understanding.
A discussion is always more productive when it is civil... without the distraction and deflection of crap posts, personal insults, and mockery to have to sift through.
I think this section is doing really well so far.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
