Your suggestion is valid, no flames to you for making it. But it's a fun

Debates end when the people in them get tired of them, not before.

So I'd ask, why do you care? Just curious... Is this debate making the
conversation elsewhere not as good? If not, what's the harm? We're
enjoying it, and some of us are learning new things


I agree completely. Debates are not for getting results. Actually when
the first of religious debates appeared here (at the very early days of
Lugnet) I was against it because I thought it might have introduced
unnecessary cold feelings between the community members, but now I see
that most of the people here can take it quite nicely and its fun to
follow, besides being quite informative..:-)

Well.........280 messages.......I see no end in sight to this debate (Yes, I
know it's in off-topic.debate)In fact, this debate has been going on for

So maybe we should end it now, before we get five hundred messages.
Also, please don't flame me for posting this message in a thread that is
posted in Off-topic!!

(...) As long as it's still civil, I see no problem continuing the debate. Besides, this time around there are some of us (me for example) that haven't been involved in a huge threaded debate on Lugnet yet. Lots of this has come up before (including (...)
