Sometimes in a debate involving many people, it can be difficult for individuals to get ample opportunity to debate one on one with each other, due to so much feedback from everyone, which can lead to a conversation fizzling away.
To deal with this, the GET IN THE RING! section is here to provide that opportunity.
Any poster who wishes to challenge another poster of opposing opinion to a direct debate can do so here. All you have to do is :
- Start a thread in this section and call it "[Your username] V [The username of who you want to challenge], or
- Call it "[Your username] V" and then whoever wishes to accept the challenge can do so, on the thread.
When a pair has been established, the thread will close to all but those involved, and the debate will begin.
At a time decided by the admin / mod, the thread will be closed completely, and a moderator will sum up the outcome of the debate. Their opinion is not to be taken too seriously as this is just a bit of fun, but the moderator doing the summing up will try their best to be fair and unbiased, and express no personal opinions.
If the pair wish to revive the debate at a future point, this can be done. Just send the admin or a moderator a private message, your challengee will be informed, and the thread will re open if necessary.
