Ever taken a debate class? To cross argue in a debate, you actuall do pick apart everything the other person stated.
But, you do it in a respectable, impersonal mannor and tone. There is a difference between arguing and debating. I do very much agree that there have been a number of debates that have turned into arguments due to someone not having respect for what another said, or someone taking something the wrong way.

Thanks, Halx.
I think every single one of us here has learned something significant about personal interaction by means of our participation on this board. It's the most palpable evidence of our evolving nature. I believe if we think about how we relate to each other today compared to how it was in the past we can see some skills have been gained and progress made toward human understanding and mutual respect. These are things we can apply online and in the real world.
It's working out well...because of our willingness to work at it and work it out.
