Going "but..... "as..... "supported by.....". This would allow for qualified propositions, "Yes maybe" "Yes perhaps". But the aim here seems to be to cause (viral?)arguments not to help users argue with themselves, which is fair enough. You could add a “qualification” arm. Going “but….. “as….. “supported by…..”.

I don't like the bobbing around of the online maps though, just slows the process down. I will be making maps with my eight year old. I've just introduced her to mind maps and she loves them. Love Twitter, that's how I found you! I find the idea very exciting especially for primary schools. I don’t like the bobbing around of the online maps though, just slows the process down.

By making the responses into new maps, it's not possible to concentrate the entire discussion, which makes it hard to determine which side "won" the discussion, conflicting with the whole purpose. Beautiful and creative though! Good job! Very powerful tool, specially if I was able to make responses stick with the original map.

I think that you've either got to ax either the 3rd or 4th step so it looks more like Question, Position, Support. And that whole "as" thing doesn't make sense unless you read the website explanation...which means that people will get confused and say that this isn't intuitive and then never come back. Also, the viewing window is too darn small...it's like a peephole in a door. But everything else is super cool!!!
