The new Debate Forum - Calling all Fighters

Sent a message to druid42 (who is far too nice to me!)

I'll update my status once we sort out what we're doing and such like.

Sorry folks. I have had some things come up and I've only been able to pop in to ATS to catch a few headlines. Hopefully today will go better and I can decide later this afternoon which debate is for me.

Again, I apologize.

Hello Fighters , I would like to debate someone, I am open to most topics, but would prefer not to delve in politics.

Who wants some?

Judgments for the New Age Debate are in

One of the best debates so far.

So is my opening statement.

And my second post is up!

And, by the way good Sir. Excellent opening post. I am truly enjoying this and honored to have such a worthy sparring partner. My hat is off to you.

~Heff

Signals and I have officially opened dialogue, and will be giving our topic selection a couple days to fester while we solidify something.

Should be fun.

Hiya,

I responded to some messages that have been sitting in my box. Sometimes my messages don't flag as unread or I over look them or something. I'm not sure!

Have a couple of people I'm exchanging messages with but haven't started anything exactly yet obviously. Will let people know when am taken.

~Heff

And so is mine

Heff, it is great fun debating you and, to be honest, some of the things mentioned in this debate (so far) could be worth a few debates multiple times over !!

~Son.

Another debate finished, and humbly submitted for judging.

I'd like to thank cenpuppie for the debate, and the chance to place my position on the current POTUS election. Debates on current events are always challenging and interesting, and kudos to cenpuppie for doing an outstanding job on their first attempt at an official debate.

Personal congratulations go out to 1littlewolf, for such a fine job debating. I enjoyed it very much, and bow to your win. Good job on your first debate!

As I read back over the debate, I do see my weak points, flaws if you will, in my argument, but that's the point, really, aside of the debate itself. You as a debater are honing your skills in a debate, which is what most of ATS is all about. This forum allows you to engage in formal discussion, and you are able to learn from your mistakes, and improve yourself, and carry forward with a new direction. Each loss provokes a desire to do better.

Yes, that is the essence herein.

Thanks to you too Druid42. It was challenging to say the least and hard.

reply to post by cenpuppie


Agreed, and I look forward to another someday.

I am hashing out details for a new debate with Pinke, and we've whittled it down to two topics, via u2u.

Once we agree, we'll be submitting it for mod approval.

Stay tuned.

hi,

The two weeks response time is perfect for me!!

I´d really like to debate someone on any topic really except politics.

(Preferably something controversial... )

Peace

Just to confirm, I'm still ready to debate, just been busy the last few days.
