Those concepts don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Never said they are.

I never said you did.

Good.

Enjoy some fresh air out there. Leave the debaters alone. If RDF is any reference, the debate will be done. It just takes time, and some times, doubly so.

I like to check out the progress of the debate in between TV commercials.

A bottle of gin ? Come on Melchior, the Duchess of York has set an example here - I think you can do better than a bottle of gin !

Of course.

HI chaps, ok internet back on, and will be responding today. Problem I am facing was being cut off for awhile - and being off running an event over the weekend. All good now Thanks for your patience!

Good to hear all is OK. Looking forward to seeing a good, succinct argument that keeps to the point.

Internet problems eh? I had the same problem when my main PC crashed (for good) last week..Could it be that powers beyond our control are trying to stop us?..Spooky..

Just as I thought I was back on track my elderly neighbour had a fall and I have been totally caught up in that all evening and night. I'm so sorry chaps - I can either post a shorter piece in deadline, or ask Campermom if he minds if I extend the deadline till the morning? Unfortunately living 90 year olds take priority over spooks ion my book.

OK guys i'm incredibly tired and not going to make deadline. I can post half my piece now, but I think I'll leave it to th morning and admit i failed to meet deadline and hope Campermom accepts i had good reason

Hi Jerome,
The "spirit" is willing hey?
Sublime argument. Well done!
I think half a post is better than nothing.
You've got 10 posts and you've only used 1 so far.

No problem Jerome.

Oh I have posted by the way - just waiting for approval. CAmpermom has a week to laugh at my silly stuff and make a reply (or longer if need be, as I really don't mind, and a 5000 word limit nearly killed me on this post -- too big!) OK ythanks to Mr.Samsa, up now -- formal-debates/formal-debate-existence-of-ghosts-apparitions-t6927.html

Oh and thank you to Campermom for being so understanding about the deadline!
