Papist Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 An impartial judge should choose the winner of the debate. I nominate Winchester as judge. He's going to judge either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Anyone you would want to back you up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Anyone you would want to back you up? I don't know. I don't have any objection to anybody joining in. I would think that Lillabett, Aloysius, and Era might have some interesting views that don't really side either either of us (you, me, and Winchester) It really depends on how tightly you and Winchester want to structure things.

4588686 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Maybe we could still have the general structure of a debate but allow anybody to ask questions? Or maybe let anybody participate but insist that anybody joining must restate his opponents argument as he or she understands it and address every point (even if only to say 'I agree') of the point he or she responds to? I'm just spitballing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of them could be fun. Era is actually who came to mind to me first. Al is probably too busy and stuff. :P I am more than willing to take on a fairly loose structure with all this. A sort of debate format is what came to mind for me, with a sort of vague point-counterpoint going on, but I am not particularly wedded to that exact idea. Maybe we could still have the general structure of a debate but allow anybody to ask questions? Or maybe let anybody participate but insist that anybody joining must restate his opponents argument as he or she understands it and address every point (even if only to say 'I agree') of the point he or she responds to? I'm just spitballing. I think this might be more fruitful if we are strict about the number of contributors. Not that I do not appreciate input from other people, but at that point our thread would not be much different from the average PM thread, you know? Plus since I am a dirty capitalist, clearly I have an innate desire to keep out the riffraff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm not wearing a bloody tie. Can it be more of a discussion? We also have brown pants for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I'd be more interested in participating if there was some positive purpose of the discussion...rather than debate theory, discuss how our viewpoints translate to ways of being in the real world. Maybe a group blog format, even a reading group dimension to the discussion so that it's based on some common starting point.

Winchester Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It really depends on how tightly you and Winchester want to structure things. We're anarchists. The whole thing will probably turn into an orgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I am still up for it if Winnie is, and if you find yourself a partner. Or are we calling them 'life companions' now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
