I would like to see .debate be able to exist as something worthwhile,
but I sense that with each debate which explodes into a ravaging god vs
science debate, we lose another of the folks who are interested in
serious debate. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be participating in
.debate. If I'm right in this perception, will it be worth having
.debate at all if all it becomes is a place for people to spout of about
their views on religion, with no one even interested in understanding
the opposing view? Will the increased tensions that I think may also be
building in .debate overflow into the rest of the server?
