I_think_it will be a good thing tooBecause of the format I believe that it will bring some heavyweights to the table and we'll see some stellar debates. It's uncharted territory though so we'll find out one way or another. Where it goes, nobody knows. Let's see what happens.....
How do you know what we weigh?
Did he just call us fat?
Seriously CK, it could be a good thing. Run with it.
Don't know those places but I actually came up with it when a member challenged another member to a debate. Is it success there? Any good?You stole this from Scullyspost and neutralunderground. Only there it's called "Fight Club".The Bull Ring is now open!! Let the challengers challenge and the debates begin!!!! Remember folks this forum is a catch all for all Bull Ring related topics. This is the place to discuss past, present and future debates between members and/or teams. Have someone you want to debate one on one? Call them out and see what they are made of. Enjoy!
When I get time I will PM you some of the good rules they had in place.I_think_it will be a good thing too

Why will being fat be good?
I have participated on other board that had a forum like this. Sometimes it produced a great debate. Sometimes it was about as entertaining as watching paint dry. Once the debate begins, it helps if the participants agree to stay with it as much as is reasonable and agree on an end date at which time they make their final summary argument and their chosen judges will judge.
I sure don't see a problem with giving this a chance.
Someone's always going to be pissed off at these places.
They breed malcontents.

And I have a sneaking suspicion Truth Matters studies these rules daily before posting.
Smart lady.Take nothing here seriously Si.
Experience is an amazing teacher and man I am definitely an experience whore.

I'm just here for the maiden flight of the Bull Ring show. Bring on the blood.

I worry about mal breeding.Someone's always going to be pissed off at these places.
They breed malcontents.
I don't think mal has ever been truly content around here.
Now these rules are too funny. Not appropriate but funny.
From The Dilbert Blog:
1.Turn someones generality into an absolute.
For example, if someone makes a general statement that Americans celebrate Christmas, point out that some people are Jewish and so anyone who thinks that ALL Americans celebrate Christmas is stupid.
(Bonus points for accusing the person of being anti-Semitic.)
2. Turn someones factual statements into implied preferences. For example, if someone mentions that not all Catholic priests are pedophiles, accuse the person who said it of siding with pedophiles.
3. Turn factual statements into implied equivalents. For example, if someone says that Ghandi didnt eat cows, accuse the person of stupidly implying that cows deserve equal billing with Gandhi.
4. Omit key words. For example, if someone says that people cant eat rocks, accuse the person of being stupid for suggesting that people cant eat.
Bonus points for arguing that some people CAN eat pebbles if they try hard enough.
5.Assume the dumbest interpretation. For example, if someone says that he can run a mile in 12 minutes, assume he means it happens underwater and argue that no one can hold his breath that long.
6. Hallucinate entirely different points. For example, if someone says apples grow on trees, accuse him of saying snakes have arms and then point out how stupid that is.
7. Use the intellectual laziness card. For example, if someone says that ice is cold, recommend that he take graduate courses in chemistry and meteorology before jumping to stupid conclusions that display a complete ignorance of the complexity of ice.

Are we going to have "winners"?
Are we going to have "winners"?
EASY: have the two debaters AGREE which person won on WHICH points.
So if person A convinced person B on 2 points (or they tied and agreed
that an equal correction was made on both sides)
and person B convinced person A on 2 points, then they are even.
I predict most matches will be fairly even, because most people won't give
up a point unless someone else gives them equal credit on another point.

On USMB, I'd be astonished if two members could understand what you just posted.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they argued which would be "person A."
