I don’t like the live debate situations very well personally, and I see your prodding of JR of his own disdain of such events as rude.

I see the prodding of JR as suicide by cop. Does Chena stand to gain by banning? Journalistically?

JR never said he had disdain for such events. He simply said he does not do them. I don’t know why.

As for live debates, I find that live debates are very informative. Anyone can write down their talking points memos (BOR...har har), but to have to debate their opinions, live, gives the audience a chance to see, hear and determine which person was the most credible, honest, forthright, intelligent, etc.

I was not attempting to be rude. If I wanted to be rude, I could do a far better job of it than suggesting that someone stand up and be heard.
