Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 940821, member: 22331"]Just The FACTS, Folks, Just The Facts!! AMEN!! Recent posts, where it appears that the discussion disintegrates from general acceptance of "arguments" on a specific topic to applying political "labels" when individuals present opposing pro/con arguments, is in my opinion, reasonable justification for specific general "rules", and a singular implementation moderator. As a long standing organizer/Captain of a monthly debate system which pre-selects a debate subject for the following month, and then determines at the following monthly meeting, by the flip of a coin, who will argue pro or con, I find it very offensive when someone applies a political "label" to an individual that can present pro or con arguments to a subject. I'm the "devils' advocate" for virtually any subject, have advocated and won an odd number of objective judges for our debates, which has avoided stalemates. I believe that generally defined rules, and a singular moderator are necessary for some topics. Just my opinion folks, but it's like a**h****, every one seems to have one that may often spew excrement, found unacceptable to some. I again vote "C", as it appears that some subjects generate civil degradation of discussion.[/QUOTE]
