Welcome Whiskey,
Glad you decided to add to our diversity. We have a wide variety of forums for your debating pleasure.
As members, we are guests on this board and as guests we are asked to put forth our best behavior. Please read the
Forum Guidelines carefully and understand the wishes of our host. Abide by the Forum Guidelines and you will be a welcome addition.
One very simple rule to remember is to argue the position, not the person.
Since threads are closed when they reach 300 posts, we ask that participants address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. In other words, don't waste posts on comments that aren't on topic and don't further the discussion.
In the purple signature box below, you'll find some links that will help make your journey here pleasant.
Please direct any questions or comments you may have to the Moderation Thread.
Again, welcome and fruitful debating.
Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encyclopedia Brittanica, on debate
