Ah, but you misconstrue my point — one needn’t must define “ethical, philosophical, or conceptual differences,” but one does need to at least make some argument wherein one’s position can be located. Then, at least, one’s position can be pinpointed, as can my position, and all we need then is a right angle to figure out how far apart . . .

Wait. Damn. Apparently my geometry skills are rusty, too.

Call me up to debate any time. I’d love the distraction from work this summer.

Your position on the over-reliance of avoidance in contemporary debate is accurate and your argument favoring debate as a way of developing idealogical understanding is compelling. I disagree, however, with the view that finding common ground is most effective after defining ethical, philosophical, or conceptual differences. Here’s why…

huh…ironically, I can’t really think of a reason to finish that faux argument. I haven’t really figured out how far apart our arguments are from each other.
