Disconnect

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.

I haven't been posting much for various reasons, but these forums do seem to have changed.... Not much you can do about it but try to keep debate at a higher level.

cheers

Thanks. I thought I was the only one. Amazing what passes for research and sources here.

That's quite right. There is a gender-matched pair of posters that has become very bitter.
