This will be very interesting and I am eagerly waiting for that day, btw, isn't that day too near, why not next weekend? This week will be for the preparations. Also, i think sagamite should be among the judges cos the guy is tough and can argue things to his side, if he is a debater, believe me, his side might win. |

apocalypse: The point in choosing people who are regulars from other sections or people who others feel are not "politically inclined" is to have diversity of ideas and suggestions. Cuddlemi has done a good job thus far ( including choice of debaters ) and she should be left alone to do her thing , if y'all think you are so smart why didn't y'all come up with the idea.Again putting only "politically inclined" debaters on the bench would make the debate dull to others who aren't.Going by the bolded, then the list of debaters is incomplete because there is no one from the career section. |

davidylan: how were the "debaters" selected?I remember the Bolekaja debate me and you had in 2009 on Sanusi, when I dragged you out of a thread to a fresh thread. Enlightening. |
Re: Nairaland's Literary & Debating Day - You Are Cordially Invited! by Jarus(m): 10:47pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
nitrogen: This is a political topic and debaters should ordinarily be chosen from Politics section. We will have a career debate some other time. @OP, I'm in for this. I will also like to be on the panel of judges. I suggest the debaters be pruned down to 3-a-side and a panel of 5 judges(odd no, so there won't be tie). I don't think Beaf and Gbawe need to be there. Both are too partisan, and form the default line for the 2 opposing camps in Nairaland Political section, and their team of supporters from Politics section will natrally queue behind them, making the debate rowdy.Sagamite has also opted out. I suggest 4 active persons in political section and 2 politically not-so-active Nairalanders to add some fresh touch to it(apart from the predictable regular political debaters). Rules should also be set for Judges too. Their judgment should not be based on the opinion they personally hold of the topic but what side(purely from the arguments presented by both parties) is more convincing. |

Thank you all for your contributions, I appreciate it. I will work on all the contributions tonight. But all the contestants still stand! This is not a debate for political "elites" or "the i am that i am" but for diverse individuals who want to contribute to the learning experience on Nairaland. I am sure another debate for the so called political "giants" can be arranged next time. The debaters are all equal to the task and very instrumental to this debate. Lets have fresh members air their school of thought for a change. We r tired of the same thing, same contributors all the time, same language, same style, same predictive ego bullshit. Its time for a change! This thread is locked till tomorrow. Have a good night rest. FYI "Nairaland" Debate- Togetherness and not "Politics" Debate Thank you! 1 Like |

KEY TERMS OF A DEBATE Resolution: the main argument – always stated in the positive Affirmative: argues the resolution – tries to prove it correct Negative: argues against the resolution – tries to prove it incorrect Constructive Phase: each side will have 2 chances to construct their arguments Cross-examination: each side will have a chance to question the other side after each constructive argument has been made Rebuttal Phase: each side will have 2 chances to rebut the statements made by the other side and clear up any confusion surrounding their own arguments |

THREAD RE-OPENED!!!! You would be updated with the modalities today. I am waiting on the project manager, Chrisbenogor and Judge, Oam4j to endorse and put finishing touches to it. Check out the list of Judges on the first post. The topic of discussion has been re-written for clarity as well. Thanks! |

I don't see how you can have a good debate with so many participants at the same time - are you planning to ask a question and get all the debaters to respond one after the other? I'd like to participate but would like to better understand what is proposed and what the ground rules are - e.g. are you allowed to use words like cretin and mooron? How long are the posts allowed to be? It would be good to set a limit, else the more verbose debaters will write mind boggling epistles that no one will be bothered to read. Is quoting permitted on rebuttal? Sorry for the jumbled up response and for repeating issues others may have already mentioned. |

debosky: I don't see how you can have a good debate with so many participants at the same time - are you planning to ask a question and get all the debaters to respond one after the other? No, they are quite relevant questions. I have just decided to wait for the organisers to come out with their rules of engagement before asking more questions or making observations. |

debosky: I don't see how you can have a good debate with so many participants at the same time - are you planning to ask a question and get all the debaters to respond one after the other? I think the obvious ground rules are ABSOLUTELY no one is allowed to use words like person, cretin, mooron, FOOOOOOL, dimwit, mugu and reetard except ther debater is called Sagamite. And if Beaf is removed from that list, the likelihood of those being used drops drastically. 2 Likes |
