The more contentious, argumentative point-scoring this debate has become, the less attractive TB has become as an option for me, as a regular FT user.

I appreciate the chance to participate but will refrain when debate is primarily a point-scoring debating competition.

I do not support this motion as it is not a consensus motion.

Something which approaches a consensus motion would make the TB appear to be more concerned with effective operation and less about division and point scoring.

I hope this motion is defeated and a more consensus revision of the TB Guidelines (re. the two contentious points) is proposed.

My view is separate from the merits of those points.
As it is, the current form of the motion will assist to keep the TB divided and infighting.
Most of this thread has been a huge turn-off re. TB's mission, which detracts from its overall record.

I am sorry it has turned out this way.
