Verbal Combat is the dueling ground for ideas — the one deck where the gloves come off and an argument is meant to land, hard, on its merits. Bring a case, defend it, and let the better reasoning win.
This is combat of ideas, never of people. Attack the claim, the logic, the evidence — never the crew member holding them. Name your sources, spot the fallacy, concede the point you cannot hold. A duel won by a cheap shot is a duel lost.
Per the Charter, no one is ever removed for what they argue or how sharply they argue it; tone is each reader’s own to manage. So sharpen your case and step into the ring — the forum gets stronger every time a good argument meets a better one.
