I am sorry, I understand your reasons, but you shouldn't debase anyone that wants to take part in discussions here yet doesn't follow your 'correct debate' guidelines.
The truth is, this is a trance forum with people interested in discussing other topics. Sure, there will likely be people that do not follow general decorum, but as I have seen you disregarding igottaknow due to 'stupid' questions or personal attacks, being subtle or sarcastic yourself doesn't rectify those claims.
There is definitely decorum to be considered, yet this isn't formal debate. People should be allowed to express their opinion without proper 'schooling' or 'rule following'. Of course, those who choose to should have sources, but better debate comes out of more subjective viewpoints. If everyone was OBjective and proper there would likely be no debate.
If you desire a better environment perhaps another site is more acceptable, yet since this isn't a philosophical debate forum or politically oriented I believe that calling single people out for bullshit is questionable. Moderators ignore this forum, if they didn't the discussion would be more topic oriented.
Discussing a specific definition of a word won't lead us to higher thought though| |
I don't get your point. He was the one that said he was leaving to another forum because he couldn't tolerate the way we debate, not I.
In any event, I rarely if ever "debase" people, but there is a difference between (a) debating constructively but not following "formal" rules, and (b) being an out-and-out arrogant snob and basing all your arguments on how the opposition cannot debate and "won't admit they're wrong." Sorry but your criticism here is misplaced - take a good look at his posts, try to look past the fact that you happen to agree with him on certain issues, and look at the quality and character of his arguments, and you'll see exactly what I (and not only I) have against him on this forum.
It's one thing to not follow traditional rules, but it is quite another to make up one's own rules and roll off snarky retorts to all the people who don't "follow" them.
