Are heated discussions interpersonal disputes?

[poddster]

In my view there is a vast difference between passionate debate (heated discussion) and interpersonal dispute.

I agree that interpersonal anything should be given the chop but discussions that adhere to the rules of debate and address the issue are NOT interpersonal in their nature

Without debate society would still be in the cave.

Moderators may I make a suggestion? ............Thank you.

Do not be too hasty in your judgement as to what constitutes an "Interpersonal Dispute".

In a lot of  cases interpersonal disputes are veiled so as to appear innocent the do not get the proper treatment that they so richly deserve. I realise that Lithum moderators are only noobies to this site and are not aware of the forum dynamics as yet, let us hope that the learning curve gets accelerated as time passes.

That would be true if Labor's heartland was North Sydney."A chocolate mint, Mr Creosote?"

Just as reliable as voices on the internet tend to be, though...a lot of chatter and noise with little truth.

 I hope the mods read this thread Pod.

The forums are a wasteland, desolate, bereft of any debate, no argument brooked?? even if it is an intellectual to and fro between differing opinions.

I have heard the UK boards are nearly deserted, I know one had joined Aus CS in desperation.
