Phew, this second round is a tough one for me. Although it's an important subject, it's not one that I find very interesting so am not too knowledgeable about. Giving it my best shot!

I am in the same boat. Never really given it much thought. Should be interesting though.
At least it's a good education! :thumbup
Hmm. In the event that someone's argument and debate points are valid enough but a certain part contains a factual error and this 'part with error' is used to form a point - should that be counted against them?
I'd say if the other person doesn't pick up on it then maybe no? Since we're not supposed to be judging on whether we agree, it doesn't really matter what the facts are, but more how they present and defend them. I reckon anyway!
Is it me? :ninja I bet it is, I don't know shit about DRM.
Haha, I'm getting paranoid it's me as well.
I should have kept my big gob shut! Sorry Pete, apologies HK. I'll ignore it and concentrate on the debating aspect and how people address the points raised by the opponent (or not as the case may be ).
).Urgh, I don't know. I don't know anything much about Peter and Ana's debate and I probably won't research it either to choose who to vote on, so if one of them got something wrong - by accident - then it wouldn't affect my choice of who actually argued it better, that's all.
I guess if it were a glaring mistake it'd be different.
I'm thinking I should have picked two entirely different debate topics.
Really? They're both doable though, right?
For the record, my brain still isn't up to speed. I'll try to post my response to HK later on tonight. I should have more time then. After last night, I don't expect much to be going on at work today.
Ah you've got ages, I think I posted around 10 hours ago so you've still got more than half a day
Why? They're not the most interesting of topics, but they make you think.
I'm just naturally paranoid. So I thought it sounded like people weren't very fond of these topics.
Only because we all want something easy that we're already totally clued up about 
Boy it's quiet in here :ninja
I totally missed the meeting on that one then, is it cancelled entirely? I did my last post on mine and Zircs thread, and then nothing happened.
