I will moderate a thread or threads that follow a format for debating an issue. I will not participate in the debate. Moderation should consist of insuring the debate format is followed. I will not judge the debate.

We will have 2 sides of equal number of members, up to 2 members per side. The members of each side can communicate in a separate thread or by PMs. A debatable proposition is presented and agreed to by both sides by PM with me and all participants. Side A is the affirmative of the debatable proposition and Side B is the negative. If both sides agree to up to 4(four) Supplemental posts and rebuttal that will be accommodated.

The format for now is. Let me know of suggestions.



Side A presents their opening Statement in a single post.
