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

[randomness]

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.

I'm not linking to it now because I don't need an Exhibit A at the moment. Moreover, pointing large numbers of people at the conversation who have no connection to the group will probably not be helpful.

Comment threading is required for good conversation.

I don't know if it's required but it sure helps.

Now I want to see a video similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYu_bGbZiiQ (Conference Calls in Real Life) but have it be "Facebook conversations in real life"....

That I'd like to see.
