Well done. It seems there is something about debate that can be ego reducing. And I'm fine with that, at least I want to be fine with it. What I learn from debate is where the holes are in my logic so that I can gather evidence or think more thoroughly about what I've missed. Essentially, debate gives me the opportunity to become less stupid and more intelligent and sensitive to what's real.

Also,
I enjoy watching a well fought formal debate. I like the strategy of it. It stretches me, and captures my imagination.
I wish more people watched and think I'm the only one I know that watches debate for enjoyment.
I find myself being an armchair quarterback.
I'm not a fan of the academic formal debate. I want the participants to actually hold the position, and we'll Vegas in their study.
My favorite subjects are:
Theology
Freedom
Politics ( even though I reject the presuppositions of both sides)
So any of you watch formal debate?
What are your favorite subjects?
