The Purpose of a Spirited Debate

It is spirited in the sense that neither side needs to win the argument. It is not about winning or losing.
Think of it like a brain exercise.
It is about the presentation of an argument, and the treatment and study of any given subject in a well rounded and entertaining manner.
Enjoy the debate. Respect your opponent. Listen carefully and always address the counter argument.
