To discuss or not to discuss

Does /discuss at the end of the initial post on a thread make people discuss harder?

What a shame! You are 2004! Give a good example for a newbies.

Thank you for the quick reply! Unfortunately you may need to rearrange the words in your message for it to make more sense.

I usually only see it as a placeholder for an actual position because the thread creator is too scurred of getting flamed if his personal opinion isn't the popular opinion.

It would be good to get the moderator perspectives on this; surely you guys in your untiring, loyal duty to 'clean' up forumfall encounter this on to many occasions.
