I have to confess, I don't really know what a Socratic Seminar is...
i see it as:

socrates was self sacrificial when posing extremely awkward questions and statements ... prepared to die by poison instead of retracting awkward questions and answers.

and so this thread seems to ask for outbursts not supported by convention, where the outburster will be executed.(although i suspect the original poster was not aware of the extremity of the socratic claim)

It was meant as a real thought. The difference is subtle and really presents itself in games of higher rated players.

"I don't give a #?!!* what you think" Then why did you start the thread?

Why be rude? I was just trying to contribute.
Sorry I was in a bad mood but that doesn't give me the right to be a git.
