I can't speak to a camera but I'll be watching, I think that'll be an awesome debate

But won't it be a bit unfair if you have multiple people on your side and he only has himself? Got to be a fair debate!

aww tara was hoping youd be in on it

well no i dont think its fair that it all comes down on me when most ppl here agree so i think its much more fair when more people can share thier opinions

In that case, you should tell him that, so he knows members from DreadsUK can join the debate, otherwise it'll be one person debating against many people, and that'd get very crowded quickly.

good idea

but seems some of em are rather agressive 1 was acusing me of spamming the site under a false name orr something

Yeah, but that's not aggressive, just a misconception lol. I mean, people's biggest complaint about you or about this site as a whole is that you/we can come across as judgmental. And I know you go above and beyond to helping people educate themselves and help keep dreads healthy, but the way you word things can make people see it as an attack. So me, personally, I think a video debate will be excellent, because with voices, they'll be able to see very plainly how much you care about people and their dreads, and that you're not judging or attacking.

I just think if you're going to agree to the debate, we want to promote unity and education amongst all dreadheads, so we have to make sure it's fair for both sides, right? If it's one person against a few people, that one person's voice might be drowned out a bit.

...It's just one can of worms after another being popped open on here.

I'm posting the same thing here as I am in response to that video.

Why should there be a debate over dreading methods? As long as someone is accepting of whatever the possible outcomes may entail, why can't they just do whatever makes them happy and not be judged?

I think it's a good idea. It's not meant to be hostile or an argument, it's meant to be sharing information and sharing opinions as a way of seeing where each side is coming from and promoting unity rather than judgment amongst the various kinds of people who dread in various ways. I think it can be very well done if done properly

I'd love to, i just don't really know how to use google + exactly but a little bit of explanation will get me trough... Other than that i'll be happy to, i love debates
I'll be on the freeform side if you're wondering...Just wondering when will it take place, i realise you're sick which is bad...Not just because of the sickness itself but because i have this week available for the dicscussion, i have no parents home for most of the day and im on my winter brake from school, and it would be weird if my parents have to hear me arguing about dreads with a bunch of people over my tablet :p , but Ou know, if you're sick you're sick, nothing we can do about it, i hope youll get better soon

**if done properly.

Key phrase.
