Since it IS Christmas time......

Roger,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. Rule #4: Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions. Readers like to learn as well as debate. Stating that someone's position is wrong without reasoned argument or supporting evidence, does nothing to move the discussion forward or to educate/inspire readers.We also frown on useless one word or one line posts. If you have any questions or comments concerning this post, please send a message to AdminPD using the messaging link at the top of the page. 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.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate
