My only comment right now is that if this is referring to the Spirituality Forum, then the only definiton of "debate" is DocJohn's.

Yes I agree that DocJohn has the first and final say here on his site..... but in all reality we all have a mind and can share what we each think on the word DEABTE..... to help in the understanding of people.

NO - this thread is not about the Spiritual Forum, it is about my one full year experience of being a member here on PC..... but the Spiritual Thread did get me thinking, therefore, I decided to create a thread on the DEFINITION of the word DEBATE.... to help us all to better understand and accept the interpretation of what any given member may think on the word DEBATE, about debates.

.... I am looking for personal definitions by each member, for I believe that attitudes come from a personal thought life turned inside out, and IMO I find that most people see things based on their inner belief system, hence why we probably have some that see different POV as debating the subject at hand - while others simply see it as talking & sharing, as a form of gaining knowledge and learning from others.

OK - I would like to start this thread as a means of getting the opinion of every ones "personal interpretation" of the word DEBATE (what ever constitutes a debate to you)....

AND - my reason for wanting (starting) this THREAD is that I feel that many of us here at PC are seeing some comments placed in the threads as debating the topic at hand when they are not, nor were intended to be so..... and all because a post / comment was made that counteracted that of what another poster felt toward the subject at hand.

In My Opinion - we cannot assume that any post is a debate (or trying to start a debate) just because the poster believes or see matters in a different light - but rather I feel we should see the majority of the post submitted as a form of personal expression of what each individual thinks or feels on the topic being disused....
