I cannot go into depth right now, since it is 11:00 and I have to be 
awake at 7:00 tommarrow, but that was a well written and articualte 
post, Pam, and I agree. 

Debate is not about attacks, it's about arguing a point you feel 
strongly about.  In Debate I, a traditionally high school course, 
there is a fallacy named after personal attacks.  It is called a 
fallacy ad hominem, or against the person.  Pointing out this fallacy 
is considered an easy way to prove your opponent for the debate's 
discomfort in giving intellectual answers. ^_^

Wandering off to the land of soft pillows and snoring,
