Hotburn, debate is a good thing as long as it remains civil. A civil debate is the best way to teach others the truth and what is garbage. As long as you cab back up your statements with data, then a debate would be and should be welcome herre. The reason is, The truth would always show the crossbow and VERTICAL COMPOUND is generally equal.
What turns this forum into bad, is when name calling occurs. That turns it into trash, not an educational forum. Even if it is a troll or a spammer, when you name call, you lower yourself below the leel of the spammer or troll and you lose all creditability with the other people.
Tom, if I have to be serious then I have to disagree. I've read so many debate threads here, in the Excal forum and in AT. The trolls have facts fired off at them and it makes no difference at all. It just boringly goes back and forth and the "opposition" just blabs and blabs. Why waste the info? They are there not to learn nor do they learn or listen. They've heard all that is said before in the other forums that they troll in. By defiinition debate is a common occurrence, but the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters. So where will the troll improve his knowledge?
