I have a similar rule: "The first person to tell their opponent 'your ideas are offensive' forfeits the debate". I believe my rule prevents more bad arguments.

- shermantanktop 3y agoThat rule is great in a monoculture but fails when good-faith participants are coming from widely differing perspectives and values. If it’s not a good faith discussion, nothing helps. But I’m not actually trying to engineer a debate ruleset, I’m mostly pointing out how people try to get away with being assholes.
