This article is basically about something i keep seeing around the debate spot or on other debate forums and it is, in my opinion the rudest and most insulting thing you can do in debate

no I am not talking about swearing

no I am not talking about denying the existence of someone's believes

no I am not even talking about flashing your opponent to distract them

As a fan of debate, I've often railed at the absence of actual debate in the debate spot. Therefore I present a question for debate:

Are mechanical pencils or wooden pencils better?

Cinders has done a marvelous job of initiating a number of formal limited debates, so I propose a different type of debate format for this one. For this, the Great Pencil Debate, the following debate attributes will apply:
