In other words, keep the two sorts of discussion separate—have an "experience based forum" and an "evidence based forum". If you post in the first you're saying "I don't want to discuss issues of proof and evidence, I just want to discuss what I experienced". If you post in the second forum you're saying "OK, let's argue the evidence for these claims". In my view those are 2 different but equally legitimate sorts of discussion.
I agree, they are two different but equally legitimate sorts of discussion.
However I don't see any need for segregation.
Posters should be able to choose which sort of discussion they want to take part in, and be able to do so without the kind of discussion they want to have being taken over by those who want to have the other sort of discussion.
But what sort of discussion it is ultimately is defined by what's said to begin with.
If what is said is of the "experiential" variety, then there's nothing to be argued. One's experience is what it is regardless of what the reasons may be.
However if what is said is of the "evidentiary" variety, then what is said should be open to question or challenge, regardless of what forum it's posted on.
The problem arises when people want it both ways and make statements of the "evidentiary" variety yet expect to have the same immunity to question or challenge that's afforded to statements of the "experiential" variety.
Segregation won't solve that problem.
All that can be done is to make it clear that if you make statements of an "evidentiary" nature, then expect them to be questioned or challenged. If you don't like it, then don't make statements of an "evidentiary" nature.
Simple.
