What requirements would qualify someone for the title of debate master?
There must be some set of requirements that are:
1. Consice
2. Unambiguous
3. testable
Then we can apply the test for each requirement to an individual in order to determine if that inidividual is a debate master.
What are those requirements and (more importantly) what are the tests?

Maybe a master debater is someone who: 1. Takes debates seriously 2. Doesn't go off on tangents Once we determine how to identify the master debator, we should be able to identify his/her opposite. We'll need a title for that too. The opposite of deactivate is activate. Thus, we can generate our title by removing the "de" prefix from debator. Now we have our titles, master debator and masterbater. Masterbater sounds right since the opposite of a master debator is someone who jerks everyone around. OK, so to recap, I didn't take this debate seriously, I went of on a tangent and... wait... damn it! Now I have to clean up this mess. BRB ;) 1

This argument is like a roller coaster ride. You are lulled into a peaceful trance by the click, click, click of the ascent only to be thrown into the abyss of confusion and disorientation caused by the twists and turns of your argument. Even so, like your other arguments, which are like train wrecks, you can't help but stop and stare in amazement; unable to look away. Side: another stupid debate

only one thing i think is needed to decide if someone is debate master and that is .......at what mental level the person stands .is that person strong enough with his ideas..if he is then he'll stand by what he says in all circumstances and would persuade others to the best possible extent that what he says is correct Side: another stupid debate
