Again, IronBlog
Last week was interesting. Checking in this week, I see this:
A Note From The Chairman: Warning on Comments
I had to spend some time, today, deleting personal attacks and flames. This was not fun, nor will I do this regularly. Those who persist will simply be banned from comments.Read the Guide, people: Rudeness is NOT TOLERATED here. Period. Insulting other commentors or calling Iron Bloggers 'a shame' is way out of bounds. This site is here to promote CIVIL discourse. You want to flame? Take it somewhere else. You want to call people names? Take it somewhere else.
You want to behave like adults and discuss the merits of an argument or the issue? Great. But leave the personal attacks out of it. The Iron Bloggers (Rosemary, Jay, Robin and Vinod) have graciously volunteered to do this and while critiquing their posts are fair, attacking them is not.
This is the ONLY warning you will get. If you find one of your posts deleted? It is you I am speaking to. If not, carry on.
PS - As I just had to delete 2 more comments, attacking the Challenger is also right out.
Please. Act like adults.

That's the way you're supposed to run a one-on-one debate. Props to The Chairman.
This week's debate is on Gay Marriage, and if atypically verbose it is quite typical conceptually…and tactically as well.
