Why do you think this forum isn't neutral and why do you think the forum you are suggesting is neutral when you have already had discussions with them.



IMO it would be neutral if you showed the discussions you have had with them.

There is discussion at ISF concerning a debate between tfk and Tony Szamboti. One of the issues is the location of the debate, here or ISF. There have been a number of objections to holding it here, most involving the matter of neutrality. The latest suggestion/request made by one ISF member, Spanx, is that the communication to arrange debate details between Tony and this forum's admin (me) be made public:Tony and I have both agreed to this request. Only one person has asked, no one has seconded; personally I think it's not pertinent, but who cares, I'll do it in order to try to keep the petty objections from stalling this affair. The entire exchange from beginning to end will be posted here.It can't be. (I can imagine that will be the next objection!) I'm going to put the text of the exchanges into individual posts here for maximum readability, but then follow up with a sampling of screen caps of my inbox/outbox so content can be verified as being complete and indeed part of a screen that looks like a PM manager. Beyond that, you'll have to take it on faith.The exchange will follow in the order it occurs, with the post title matching the PM title, and a header with "From" and "Timestamp" fields, followed by the text body. There are a couple of cases where the quote tags are messed up, and I'm fixing that for display purposes. These are the only edits to the exchange.The exchange begins with me PM-ing Tony.
