That's partly what this is all about, non? Stirring things up. Give that blogger a chance to do it again -- this time with some dollars doing good.

So after the contest ends I post a question about the best posts and people can vote for the best post. The question just becomes do we give the full $250 to one post or split it up among three or x number of posts? What does everyone think?

Your original criteria were cool, and would have worked if you had kept them secret until after the contest. I can only think of one "quality of discussion" metric you can publish without causing people to game it. That's "ranking according to Sean's subjective whimsy" (which I also think would be a perfectly reasonable way to do it). My suggestion: use whatever criteria you want but DON’T PUBLISH THEM.
