Forum Rules: Spirituality and Mysticism * 7
    #4780411 - 10/10/05 12:57 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

Rules:
1) No Flaming. No Trolling. Flaming or spiritual bashing is not tolerated in this section.
Do not provoke others with incendiary or condescending remarks.
2) Be respectful. Please always respect the beliefs and thread guidelines of other members.
3) Mocking others beliefs is not allowed. Making posts or threads that mock in a ridiculing manner will not be tolerated. For skeptic vs believer style debates on spiritual issues, visit the Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology board.
4) Be aware of, and use, the ?Report Post? icon (located on the bottom of every post) if you notice a rule being broken. This will notify the moderators of that particular post, please provide a reason for notification.


Guidelines for discussion:
Debate vs. Discussion
There is a not-so-subtle difference between "debate" and "discussion" that is important to understand when both parts hold opposing views: debate is a competition; discussion is a collaboration. The later of which is preferred here.

The goal of a debate is to win. Successful debate strategies include making your case with credible sources and destroying the case of your opponents, using their words against themselves.

The goal of a discussion is to understand. In a discussion, both parties must be careful to remain on the "same side of the table." Always let the other side know that maintaining the highest level of respect in your ideas is more important than being "right." The goal is simply to understand the other person's point-of-view. Sometimes we confuse "understand" with "agree with." It is not always necessary to agree on an issue. Agreeing to disagree - letting the other enjoy his/her opinion - can be as satisfying or more satisfying than changing the other person's mind.


And that about covers it.
We hope you enjoy your experience in the new S&M forum.
