Everyone does realize that this is not a debate forum per se?
This thread was designed to discuss the possible GD with Faith and an opponent.
It seems that Faith is saying she isn't sure she wants to participate in the GD but than continues in this thread debating the same topic.
It was my understanding that when Jar and I did our GD, that was to be the beginning of a well structured debate, which it was, so as to fix the hodpodge stuff that was called GD before that debate. Imo, it's not a good idea to have more than two people debating in the GD. Why? because you're pitting one mind against several minds. This is unbalanced and unfair, imo to the one who is obliged to refute a pack who're bitin the bit to contribute their two bits.
I suggest the GD thread committee not loose the progress made in organizing organized bonafide debates. The trouble with a parallel peanut gallery thread is that the minority debater can't do debate and respond to stuff offered in pg. Peanut gallery, imo should be held off until the debate is finished.
The GD Jar and I did was totally even handed in procedure and nobody could complain afterward that one side or the other had the advantage.
Food for thought.

Re: Yes, model any new "Great Debates" like the Jar/Buz one
Buz, I think I am in full agreement with you (see my message 29).
Mmm, somehow I missed 29. Thanks Moose.
