That depends: would my opponent be responding with trite, one sentence responses filled with demonstrably false information represented as true, and quote mines represented as perfectly fine?

You don't get to expect the respectful tone of a formal debate while refusing to shoulder the responsibilities or expectations of respectful content that such a debate brings with it, Rev.

And as I've said, I am happy to debate you in a formal setting, if that's what you wish this to progress as. Angel Cloud

Please respond to this, Rev. It seems to be everything you're asking for. Less responses, more formal setting...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Members are warned about these things. Maybe not to your standards, but they are.

We have had times where rules are more strictly applied than others, like when new members were lost due to negative greetings... it became a rule to be polite in intro threads.

I was discussing this today with some friends who hate swearing. When you don't swear, you really notice when other people do it. Exposure to swearing lowers your sensitivity to it.

It's a pretty low blow to insult someone just because you know that will upset them. That really shows what kind of degenerate that person is, and theists are equally guilty.

There are several ways.

1. Become an good poster and earn the respect of the membership.
2. Wait until a position becomes available and apply for it, assuming you've achieved 1., above.
3. Blackmail
4. Bribery

The latter two are difficult as their price is high (I've tried) and it's hard to get incriminating/embarrasing pictures of the staff.

If sharpness was a qualifier you wouldn't be a mod. No offence Big Grin

Slow to anger is good for a mod, together with an inoffensive disposition. If you're more likely to start fires than put them out, moderating isn't for you.
