I actually have people asking me to join their debates on Facebook and in
person - on Facebook I have both liberal and conservative friends do this
when they feel they are backed in a corner and need help. In college I was
asked to be a guest speaker in a logic class which was focused on
arguments... the teacher and I disagreed on many things and had great
debates. His next semester was boring so he asked me to come back and liven
things up. I had another class at the same time so I could not... but would
have otherwise.

And as I said, I was asked by a college to teach an ethics class and
encourage good debates with logic and support and evidence being a primary
focus. It was a very fun class, and we all learned from it.

So I do enjoy a good debate, but I am a stickler for support and evidence
and logic and backing your claims. In here I tend to let people pull things
in all sorts of directions - in my class we had more of a focus but I still
allowed that perhaps more than I should have, but not as much as happens
here.

Look at my debate with Owl: it started with an accusation that Clinton lied
in a commercial. I showed where the accusation was faulty. Instead of him
speaking of that he went off onto a bunch of other topics: his view of the
second amendment, what sex the people are who used guns (?!?!?), how
effective he thinks mental health checks are, and who knows what else.

Comes down to he realizes the initial point was wrong: Clinton did not lie,
so he is running to change the topic.

It is an interesting thing to watch happen over and over in COLA and CSMA.
