Thread: PF Debates: Will You Participate?

Pretty straight forward. We'd like to get a preliminary head count of members interested in debate participation (keeping in mind that no structure has been decided on at this point in time... particularly regarding the judging process). Those of you who have contacted me via pm with launch inquiries can make their intentions known here. Thanks in advance

Thanks.
Its a may be for me. Gotta see how it works, how much time it would take, depending on the word/post count, and also on subject.
Some stuff I wouldn't want myself involved in....either none of my business, or something I know too little about.

Depends on the topic or if I'm asked to judge (would that count as participation?).

Only if they don't duck tape us.

Dependent upon final implementation. If the part I referenced earlier changes at any point, I will almost certainly participate. If not, it is most likely that I will not.

What about those who asked on the potential judging pool thread?

http://www.politicalforum.com/forum-...ging-pool.html

No way will I participate in this Sham. Who here has the right to ''Judge another Poster'' and why? I can only imagine the Taunting the ''Loser'' will receive,,,LOL
Just look at some of the ''Gotcha'' posts and you will have an idea, and who are those ''Gotcha'' comments from? Why they are from SOME of the very people that want to be judges,,,HAHAHAHAAH What a JOKE! HAHAHAAHAHAH

Secondly I would like to see all the other debates here that are having a ''Problem'' due to other posters. I have never had a problem with any debate I have ever had, none. This is a nothing more than a couple of show offs that feel ''They'' deserve their own private thread,,,Selfish Much?
We have been told other posters may learn from this,,,LOL,,,How utterly arrogant and condescending can you get!!!! I wonder, has it crossed their egotistical little minds that those other posters do not care for how ''They Post''?, and that boring is NOT better,,,it's just boring...

Put it where it belongs, it's a group, leave our other threads alone.

This site has always been a open posting one, there is no reason to change that, however if a few posters want to have a private one on one they are welcome to form a group, and have many options open to them. This is where ''EXCLUSIVE'' posting belongs.

I wasn't paying proper attention and meant I was volunteering to debate. I never even considered judging. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

This is what Catch posted:

Potential Judging pool

Um yeah, sure. Lets have a one on one debate where the liberals ignore the facts, make emotionally driven arguments, and in the end, have their fellow liberal who consistently troll and flamebait, pose as fair and impartial judges, to in the end, declare the liberal to be the winner of the debate.

Yeah sure sounds like an activity I'm interested in participating with.

Note the sarcasm.

I will like to debate in the forum
