That would be the non-intellectual way to read through a thread. Hopefully, you will find the willpower to resist reading posts in that fashion, and instead use your own judgement in deciding whether to flag an OP, star a post and/or respond.

Thanks for the advice. I will seek some intellectual role models here. Can you recommend any?

Will work on that for you.

Need to find someone good that can also communicate on your level and teach you the ropes, as it were. Have a couple ideas, but need to ask if they're willing to take you on. Help you start your very first thread, etc.

If yes, you'll be hearing from them ...

We actually have a Debate Forum here. It's been a while since a tourny. Maybe we're due. It's restricted to "Fighters". No biggie if you want to participate though. You'll be challenged though. We've got some of the best debaters around. Any questions feel free to u2u me.
