It's not like joining a debate team because with a debate team it would be impossible to debate without a response. However, it IS possible to post on a message board and request that you not have responses to ONE thread so that you don't have to separate the issues into individual threads for clarity of debate. This doesn't defy the ENTIRE purpose of a message board. It does defy the ENTIRE purpose of a debate team. It is a little unusual, but not unheard of. So, now I separate each topic so that it can be discussed clearly and on an individual basis. Cry all you want, but this is what you asked for. If anyone is acting childish here, it's you because instead of admitting that you were wrong and that it is an unusual, but fairly reasonable request, given the number of posts that I make, you did what you wanted, like a child.
