Facebook is really not built to facilitate intelligent conversation, is it?

There's a conversation going on in a Facebook group I'm in that may someday become my personal Exhibit A for why Facebook is a terrible place to have any kind of substantive, meaningful conversation.

The Weather Channel has a state-by-state rundown. The National Weather Service's winter storm warnings are here.
