#Someone else's argument.
#Your argument here.

Notes about voting
- You must be logged in when you vote. Votes cast by anonymous users do not count, and your vote will be deleted, even if you have an account. If you do not have an account, take a second to create one. It won't bite you.
- Do not sign arguments. They belong to the wiki.
- Likewise, do not sign comments. Try to keep comments to a minimum.
- Do not delete valid arguments (but see notes below); only add them. (You do not have to agree with an argument for it to be considered valid.)
Note:- You may revise or merge arguments, as long as the substance of the argument(s) does not change.
- Arguments that offer nothing new (ones that merely second someone else's thought) should be merged or removed.
- Arguments that do not speak to the merits of the fact ("This is the best fact ever!") should be removed.
- Personal attacks or rants will not be tolerated and should be removed.
- You may only add or edit arguments while logged in. Write a comment in the edit summary, and do not mark the edit as minor.
- Revisions to facts are considered separate. You can decline the original wording but accept the revision. (You cannot accept more than one revision. Only your bottommost vote to accept will count.)
- Anyone who alters or removes arguments in bad faith will be considered to be committing vandalism.
