I know this debate forum is new and a rising popularity amongst you strong spirited debators, but is it riling the masses? Whatever happened to civility and etiquette? What about properly evidenced statements and arguments?

I've been at fault in this a few times, but I think a debate poster should have some of the following traits:
~have done their homework abotu the subject
~have an honest opinion that will benefit or pertain to the subject
~be at least somewhat open-minded (everyone disagrees ppl!)

I'd like to AGREE TO DISAGREE, not bash each others heads in with skillets!

Debates only get passionate when the person is already passionate about the subject or someone starts feeling ganged up on.

Let's all get along.
