This has been tried numerous times. Both on this forum and the one that no longer exists - Dot Org. The truth is most people get bored with this type of debate. While I can enjoy a serious debate, there are only a handful of others that do too. So, it ends up being maybe 2-4 people debating a topic and then a bunch of hecklers.usa360 » 03 Jan 2024, 9:25 am » wrote: ↑ ...intelligent and challenge solving discussions without the rhetoric and the slanderous defamation.

You are entitled to your incorrect opinion. Those are examples of free speech. It's easy to endorse free speech when you agree with what is being said. The challenge comes when you vehemently disagree with what is being said.usa360 » 03 Jan 2024, 10:17 am » wrote: ↑ One can hope I guess.

FYI...might want to get in the habit of using the correct word (and posting what you really mean to "say") if you want to avoid tacky comments and being flamed.
The last time I saw such a forum was in the days of the ARPANET, for its commercialization and morphing into the Internet destroyed the existence of electronically-based dialectics. Yesterday, I registered here hoping to find "intelligent and challenge-solving discussions," Best of luck to you, my friend.usa360 » 03 Jan 2024, 10:17 am » wrote: ↑ One can hope I guess.
