What is a 'Battle Blog?'

[Corn on the Colb]

Just saw this on the sidebar, and was just kind of curious as to what it was.

[ClingingMars]

I'm curious as well.

Good question.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

An all too infrequently used tool for hashing out arguments about particular subjects. I never participated in one, but I seem to recall that it involved one poster choosing a topic and presenting an argument about it in 500 words or less. Another poster -- the first to take up the mantle, I suppose -- could then respond with an opposing viewpoint. The original poster then was permitted a reply, and the entire argument was then submitted to a panel of long-time posters who were asked to decide which argument was more convincing. Whichever of the two posters got the most votes from the panel won the Battle Blog.

Interesting...

Sounds kind of cool.

Wonder why there aren't more?

Or you have been on this site for about 2 weeks.

I challenge Cavfan to tell me why the Spurs will win the Finals.

Obviously the forum is lacking in Beerfest fans at 11AM. All your base are belong to Barry Badrinath.

Word to the wise: If a lawyer ever debates you in a battle blog, move on.

[Corn on the Colb]

Ah. Well I saw Beerfest only one time.

Sorry!
