If you meant to say "who can post the most convincing argument", then you would be correct. But in that case, getting close to the truth is irrelevant, and it's no more than a pissing contest. While pissing contests can be fun to watch, I certainly hope this forum does not devolve into it. We need more meaningful discussions here, not measurements of the posters e-penises.

As for derailing, that's a cherished feature of this forum(see the israel-turned-viking-thread). It has its upsides and its downsides, and is really just something you need to adopt to. It will happen, learn ways to focus your attention on the topics you find interesting. It really isn't very hard.

Certain claims, such as john 1 and matt 4 contradict, can be shown true by 2 people who disagree on it, I believe. I care mostly only for truth claims, is islam true etc. These things should be discussed debated. I dont care if I "win" a argument, I care about truth.
