This question changes the entire
context of a discussion.
Any community can rant. Members get a great deal of joy from
ranting. It helps bond the community together. Members become more emotionally
invested in their community.
However, by throwing in questions such as:
What are we going to do about it?
What
can we do about it?
Can
we stop/start this?
You can change the nature of the
discussion from a rant to a community project.
It won’t work in every discussion. It won’t work
if you use it too often. But try using it. You might just launch something
amazing.
