Basically it would go something like this:

A topic for debate would be thought up.

Two people would somehow be selected to debate the issue (or maybe teams - 2 on 2 - something like that. Or maybe someone could put out a challenge and pick among people willing to accept the challenge.

One thread would be dedicated to the debate and some sort of structure would be agreed upon. There could be annother thread later for discussion of the debate.

No winner needs to be declared. I can't imagine anyone being seen as neutral enough to judge it so it would be up to readers to decide who they though won.


Those are just rough ideas, curious what everyone thinks and whether the mods would support it. Think of it sort of like a sport. We come up with some rules, then play.
