Reply To: should intellectual debates be allowed in the CR?

What must be remembered is that the CR, by definition of being an internet forum, will skew slightly MO, as many yeshivish people do not have Internet an spend their days in front of seforim or classrooms instead of a computer. The people who post are those with free time on their hands, or those who work with a computer available for using during downtime. Even if I delude myself into thinking that I’m smarter than 90% of the people in BMG, that would still leave over 600 who I’m forced to admit can wipe the floor with me easily. They’re not posting here. They’re too busy learning or being mechanech others. So any debates here are limited by the fact that the best and brightest minds are automatically excluded from the debates.
