No, I haven't ... But objectivity and not falling for fallacious argument I think had to be up there ..

@ozgirl512 I think the topic is agreed upon.

@SimplyTracie true... But often people will put forward an argument that sounds dodgy and ask if you agree with that point of view... Next minute they have you wrapped up in non sequiturs and it's hard to escape

@SimplyTracie there's some great books out there on rational arguments and such... They can be an interesting read
