Hi, I'm looking for another name for a "Debate Forum". It should be something that isn't too hostile. Thanks.

"I'm looking for another name for a "Debate Forum". It should be something that isn't too hostile." If you think "Debate Forum" is a hostile name, you may be influenced by some particular experience unknown to the rest of us. Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

"I'm looking for another name for a "Debate Forum". It should be something that isn't too hostile." "If you think "Debate Forum" is a hostile name, you may be influenced by some particular experience unknown to the rest of us." I wasn't saying that I thought "Debate Forum" was hostile. I was asking for another name for it something that isn't, in itself, hostile. Keith Little > e-mail munged. www.thecorch.com

http://thesaurus.reference.com/ lists synonyms of "debate" and "forum" as below: Entry: debate Function: noun Definition: discussion Synonyms: agitation, altercation, argument, argumentation, blah-blah, bone, bull yard, cogitation, consideration, contention, contest, controversy, controverting, deliberation, dialectic, disputation, dispute, flak session, forensic, hassle, match, meditation, mooting, polemic, powwow, rap, rap session, rebutting, reflection, refuting, tiff, words, wrangle Antonyms: agreement Concept: discussion Entry: conference Function: noun Definition: convention Synonyms: appointment, argument, chalk talk, colloquium, colloquy, confabulation, conferring, congress, consultation, conversation, convocation, deliberation, discussion, forum, groupthink, huddle, interchange, interview, meeting, palaver, parley, powwow, rap, rap session, round table, seminar, symposium, talk, think-in, ventilation Concept: business action So you could probably chuck a nice-sounding pair out of the two, or even just take one of the "convention" synonyms. Hope this helps! Maelin
