Now for the bad news. There are rarely any real "debates." There are some but the majority of issues quickly devolve into name calling, emotional responses, self-interest agendas, etc.
I think the idea is a good one IF we (all of us) could act responsibly. However, I don't believe all of us would act responsibly. Hence, I agree with the moderators. We learned a lesson. No need to repeat it.

Some of us are not asking for a repetition we all know does not/did not work.
We are suggesting to take what we "have learned" and modify the rules of participation that allow the majority that follow the rules to continue to participate.
There will always be the few in any quorum....so since we have learned a lesson let's fix it.
It would be nice to set aside whether folks like to discuss politics or not. Then set up a political forum that works
for those who opt in/want to participate.
