Well, hrmm. I see what can go on in .debate as being fundamentally
different from even the same discussion going on here or in RTL.
People who have no interest in controversial subjects need not see
them fill up their general discussion group. So even if Larry and
Jesse started calling each other names (wouldn't happen), I wouldn't
mind since it is in a group designed for people to debate, or
disagree.

Heh. I dunno, I think maybe meta discussions like this belong here or
maybe in lugnet.admin.general.
