I'm sorry Loud...I can't go with you on this one. I think that it is a very bad idea. Suddenly there are debates on the board of a similar ilk including the one about getting paid to go to school!!!! My opinion is that it would taint the meaning of and reason for the site. Why can't people be happy creating good debates and winning them with their knowlege and expertise? Isn't that what we're about? I see this as a detriment and not a very positive attribute to debate.
