Title: Debating the question and not the person
Post by: isaacN on May 13, 2018, 08:12:18 AM

From my standpoint it would be helpful if ‘debates’ could stick to the issues at hand and avoided straying off to discssing aspects of the individuals taking part. This i find irrelevent and not particulary interesting or helpful.  If this is a true discussion forum those taking part should stick to presenting the facts as they see them, while probing their opponents position, and not the opponent. My experience here is that few flat earth supporters, if any, are really that interested in exploring the foundations of flat earth belief.

Your post is just a statement of what is already largely in the rules, combined with a discussion of persons (seemingly the issue you were hoping to resolve).

If you believe that someone is in breach of the rules, report the post to the moderators and let them deal with it.
