debating ethics, what's acceptable to do in a debate. |
Debate Rules
Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

you shouldn't personally attack a memeber. attack their cause, their belifs, but not them. |

Well, if used sparingly and with prudence, I think emotion is good for debating... If you're passionate about something, you'll argue, lose, and will argue again until you're point is taken into consideration. Sometimes, people (like me) give too much emotion into a debate and that's when you'll have name calling and/or cursing.
And Mr. Acid, I don't understand sarcasm by other people, but I love using it. So kudos to you because I actually understand your sarcasm... most of the time. |
