Boundaries for Therapeutic Debating

If anyone withes to argue with me, then I will expect you to subscribe to the following:

Noitartst's Debating Principles

1. Always answer the question according to the question.

2. The emotion behind the question never excuses mistreating the question.

3. If you ask hard questions, expect nothing less from others, as per the Golden Rule.

4. Building a compliance ladder of questions is more than acceptable.

5. The question not only has complete power to frame the debate, but also to set the tempo.

6. Stonewalling is the gravest, most disrespectful, most cowardly act commitable.

7. The goal is to scourge anything less than brutal honesty out of your opponent, just as he is to scourge it out of you, and thereby attain the common ground. Otherwise, to argue would be pointless, and just result in useless emotional burnout, something I've dealt with, and isn't any fun.

WIth these rules in place, I'm more than ready for anybody.

So...who wants some?
