Yes, I'll take my hat of to you R.O.T. Yahman - you've created a hot topic. It's gone from infancy to maturity in a short time, and is full of good stuff, good views, drama, history. Debate! Top notch if you ask me. 🙂

i rarely venture into the philosophy section and never into the comics forum either so i cant really comment

but to me a decent debate is a rare thing on kmc as a vast percentage of the time the debates decend into petty bickering and flamming

even the GDF is being invaded by threads that really should be in the off topic forum...i mean no offence Feceman...but "clean dogs are hard to find"...hardly the stuff of good serious debate is it?

I dunno, I would disagree with that. The Comic VS forum seems to have a lot of members with a laughably large ego, and seeing the caliber of discussions that go on in that forum.....well, most of them are really misplaced.

But yeah, a lot of GDF folk do have a big ego.

I agree .... 😏

Whats the purpose of a debate though? To get your point across clearly and effectively to the majority of the people and/or the opponent. Be it comics, teenage pregnancy, or next gen consoles, taste has little to do with the skills of a debator.

I like the GDF forum for debates more, but there are only a few debators I think are admirable.

Well it's not the only purpose...it is probablyöy the major one, but people on here argue mostly to "win" (however they want to achieve that). And there are actually skills one debater has and another not. So that is measurable. And i think the GDF has more educated and more eloquent debaters. The ones that are good in the Comic Book Forum are usually also visiting the GDF regular. And the matter of the fact is that the CBvs.F has lost a lot of it's class over the year I have been a member of this Board. I guess I changed too and maybe that might account for my change of mind partly, but if I recall right when I first came to the CBvs.F there were no Threads named "What KMC member could beat Batman" .... and the debates were actually somewhat interesting and logical (as far as that is possible with comics)

Much appreciated .... this is my second thread in here. Both have been real success's if i do say so myself. Although i have been in here for a short period of time, i must conclude that the standard of posting is of a higher calibre. As my good friend did mention, there are some pretty big Ego's in here, which is sometimes necessary when concerning debates.

I'll say that the Off-Topic Forum has the best debators. When the intense subject matter is along the lines of "Who's got the smoothest butt at KMC?", or "who would U rather pour Cream of Wheat on at KMC and eat it off their stomach," I would't touch their debating with a ten-foot pole, I'd be so overmatched.

I think the GDF has the best debators in it's ranks. However, it also has one or two members who think that they are in the top ranks of the GDF debating league, while in trouth they are not.

Because those few members post so frequently and debate in such a childish or self-stroking manner, I could see how one who infrequently visits the GDF might see their posts and think that we all debate in such a manner.

I'm saying that it houses good debates, but comic versus has better debators, while the debates are poor. Make sense?

I see what you are trying to say, but generally good debaters post in good debates, and poor debaters post in poor debates.

Although the CBvsF has a few excellent debators, I feel the the GDF has more, and better, debaters in it's ranks.

Oh, this is embarrassing, but I'll admit that I've looked from time to time (about once a week). bag

I wanted to know who had the smoothest butt at KMC.

When I'm bored enough I read in there too, and I never thought their debates were that serious. I'm mean who's to say who has the smoothest butt.😑 ..I do remember some good debates going on in the PF at one time. Never read the comic book forum. As far as the GF there are some good ones, but seem to go trivial and childish at times.

What was your opinion on this hot topic , Debs?

Precisely.

Someone who has honed their skills at arguing with Joe Nobody about Spider-Man will obviously be good at it. When it comes to actually debating people with sense, they may not be. I don't even think some of the people there are good debaters. Pages of irrelevancy to prove points that, half the time, matter none.

At least all the page debates here are relevant.

That is open to debate itself.
