So, here's the debate rules thread. That's how these things are done here, though I'm willing to budge on some of the terms just to get you to account for yourself in an official context. That is, assuming the mods are willing to allow that.

I'm not in control of them, though, and if they decide that I'm not allowed to handicap myself by bowing to your (let's be honest, intensely biased) demands thus far, then I can't really do anything about that. At that point, you can either accept the regular rules, bow out, or take it up with the mods. Once again, I've got no issues debating you under terms you've chosen; just be aware that making them too flagrant isn't going to play well with the audience.

Though I do have to ask: why do you feel the need to tip the scales so far in favor of yourself from the outset, rather than just debating under neutral terms? In your own words, you feel your position is so strong that there's nothing I could do to refute it, so why do you then want to create even more advantages to yourself at my expense? What are you afraid is going to happen?

Is that not how evolutionists operate?

I just turned the tables, so I can control the debate.

And as I've said, I have absolutely no problems with you determining the rules, so long as you adhere to a minimum standard of etiquette, mostly just choosing which game you want to play before we start playing it. So long as the rules are clearly seen by all and declared before we begin debating in its own thread in the debate area, then by all means, select your rules.

The mods might have something to say, but I'd ask them to let this slide if it does end up being a problem; I'm sure we can all see this is a battle best fought, not strangled in its infancy.

So, what rules would you like to operate under, Grace?

No.

Frankly, I doubt you could control your bowels. Instead of dancing around the subject, why not post your petty demands so you can get on with things? It's not like your opponent hasn't opened the door for you.

I'm the greatest chess player in the history of the world. But if you want to play me I get to set the rules as we go.

I have absolute say on all rules at all times, then maybe.

In the mean time, we have been discussing things in a debate. I just am carrying on discussion with a number of you and just one of me.

I think I have already won that debate though.

You know, you're almost cute when you use big words like "think."

This is asinine. If there was any doubt that young earther's don't have a pot to piss in, it's this ridiculous insistance on controlling the potential arguments they would hear.

Prosecution, jury, judge and executioner. Oh, and the defense has to 'by your leave' any and all points. It's the Spanish Inquisition all over again!

Fucking hell, just get on with it! I've given you carte blanche, even though we all recognize how unfair that is, what more do you want? Just state your rules, I'll agree, and we can get the debate thread started- possible in the morning, because it's so damn late over here.

Which is part of the reason I'd like to get you one on one.

So you shouldn't feel to bad about starting another one and continuing your winning streak, now should you?

I have absolute say over all rules. I will let you know what they are as we discuss things.
All my pronouncements are final or I win.

Are you sure?
