He has his moments.

Actually about half the right wingers I've talked to on debate websites have some level of sense of humor. I'm far more annoyed with the humorless conservatives.

There used to be a tradition that people on opposite sides, whether it was a game or politics or cultures or whatever, could after the contest shake hands or go have a beer together. I think Bronto is more like that, whereas a couple of the other hardcore conservatives in here are full of too much bile to be sports about it.

I agree. There are days where the banter between you two is highly amusing. I think he would be one of those people who after a good debate would be fun to grab a beer with and chuckle at the world. There are a few people on here that I think would be like that.....and then there are a few that I am fairly sure just live in their angry little bubble.

Grenache,

Most of us right wingers have great senses of humor. Unfortunately, some of the lefties don't always get the jokes.

...a couple of the other hardcore conservatives in here are full of too much bile to be sports about it.

I think that is true of some of the left wingers, too, which is equally unfortunate.

While I and many others often write in very serious and earnest tones, I don't think that necessitates the level of bile and dismissiveness we sometimes see from some people on both sides.

Moreover, I am sometimes disappointed by the lack of outright friendliness in the midst of disagreement.

We pointedly sign on to a DEBATE site to interact with people who DISAGREE with us. (That is the whole premise of a debate.) We are all actively looking to avoid the echo chambers.

That makes our debate adversaries our partners in this project of testing each other's ideas. The best allies the conservatives have are the liberals, and vice versa.

I am not saying it does not get competitive and heated sometimes, but that does not imply unkindness.

There unlimited opportunity to calm down and revise before hitting Submit. It is worth it to reread our arguments, and delete/change anything insulting, or add something friendly and appreciative, or funny.

Well put. Some people confuse debating with preaching. As we are on a debate site I really enjoy hearing what other people think and many times it makes me see a different side to things.
