Hey, I was wondering, as you all know arguing discussing debating, whatever, is different in real life then it is when you type etc.
I thought it would be cool if like in the future you could have a website like this but you can see eachother through your monitor, like a live debate, type thing. I'm wondering if that's at all possible?

peace

Though it is nice to see someones expressions when talking to them I don't think it is needed for this kind of debate.
However, it would be interesting if we had a "chat" section. I'm afraid that the difficulty of moderating would be even greater. The "temperature" of the debate may go up in undesirable ways.
However, it would be harder for individuals to wander without answering a question. It would also be much harder to have time to find support for a position though.
On the whole I'd say this more measured approach is best.

I can't say I've ever found that to be the case when debating with creationists in chat rooms.

Re: Debating
Some time ago there was some regular passing through creationists on the Yahoo biology chat rooms but I haven't been there for a while and haven't seen any the last few times I have. There is also a #creation IRC channel, but I never seem to be able to find anyone on IRC.
