832946 2009-12-01 01:32:00 I'm surprised that more people haven't participated in the debate. Especially when there is quite a few I.T. people on here. convair (13650)
832947 2009-12-01 03:55:00 I would vastly prefer to continue the debate - for me, the whole point of this is the process. While it's nice to win, it's the thought exercise which is the most important aspect.

I would be quite happy with either a new team member, or with Sweep covering both first / second speaker. I'm also happy to wait a few days for another affirmative team member if someone would be happy to step forward, provided the other participants in the debate are happy for this to happen.

I don't like the last three options Sweep lists at all - in my humble opinion any one of them would substantially cripple the debate.

Perhaps next time we do one of these we should organise understudies!

I also strongly agree with Sweep's sentiments here - it's somewhat surprising that we don't have more people interested in participating. I know I'm far from the only person on this forum who enjoys a good argument!

832948 2009-12-01 04:19:00 I agree. I would prefer this to be put on hold until we have a replacement. Even if it takes a week or so until Cato can continue. the_bogan (9949)

The thought exercise is, in my opinion, the whole point in having a debate in the first place as you then do the research in my opinion. I might add that in the first debate I changed what I really thought after looking at figures and had to defend against what I had previously thought. No matter there though.

So far I like the option which allows me to be one against two in the debate but I wait for you to get your other team member to agree.

If you and your team member agrees then I will be second speaker and will post some 24 hours after your agreement after you consult with the bogan

If you want to wait for another person to get into the debate on the affirmative side then I will continue to wait.

Fine by me. So let us wait until we hear from Cato.

This is also my preference, although I would be happy for Sweep to take both roles if it doesn't work out.

So I guess time is not relevant and we wait for Cato to appear and give his opinion.

Try we wait for Cato until he has got over the tragedy.

Or whatever.
