I agree, although Jaakko is very informed as well.

Ix. Let me explain this even furthur. He is saying that you are either BAD AT DEBATING and/or ARE STUPID/ILLOGICAL/LACK INTELLIGENCE.

No, that is contradictory with what he said himself.

Guys, SOC Blue asked me to clear this up a bit while he's gone-- can we keep the childish nonesense down a bit? this *is* supposed to be a rational debate (well, whenever we get it started).

The concepts "WAR" and "PROGRESS" are now obsolete.

And from that statement we find the definition of sarcasm...

Then maybe he should have been clearer about that.

Everybody got it but you. But then again I suppose everyone is wrong but you.

ok, back after my orientation at my college. Well I will make a thread in about a day for the first debate (At which point it will change to where only the debators and judges have posting abilities in the forum. The ability to view the forums will still be allowed during the debates as well.

By the way, what happened to those dates? Wasn't the liberal/marxist debate supposed to happen already?

Please can we have some decision regarding the current debates? We are in the middle of one debate, and now all of a sudden there is talk of altering or scrapping it. This indecision is most unfair for the people involved in this current debate. I don't know if I should keep debating, or if it finishes now. I will postpone our next post until I here something definite about what is going on. We really need someone to take charge and be decisive.

Maxim posted new rules which are definitive. Make your next post (unless this is just a smokescreen to give you cover from our superior debating).

As Gandalf points out, I did basically withdraw support from the current debates. He doesn't seem him trying to dodge the debate, Dao -- it's just there is some confusion, obviously, and I think Gandalf wants to make sure that there's some point continuing.

So, Dao - your side has a few members happy to continue the debates? Is smash still going to participate? And your side does too, Gandalf?

Then I'd suggest you stick with the Question/Answer format for now and play according to the 'revised guidelines'. If you post interesting things, then people should follow the debate. No-one's about to delete or move the current debate.
