Higgly Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Somebody at MapleLeafWeb (Greg?) has provided a debating society framework by posting debate topics in the opening page. Is there a democratically meaningful mechanism that might bridge the gap between this very good idea and the constant white noise of the fora? I am all for this site as a debating society, with debating society rules. So far, the rules here are somewhat like those you might see on walking into a Manila Hotel: Leave your guns at the door.

Not much you can do about it but try to keep debate at a higher level. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a gender-matched pair of posters that has become very bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
