Order! Order!...

Order in the Court, I say! Good. Now we've been called in today for the final call for debating over the sustaining of this blog. Call to address that your party is present. The Blog Supporter Party?

Mr. Raemiguel Lee and board are at present!

Okay, then. The Anti-Blog Community?

Mr. Raemiguel Lee and board are at present!

Judge and Jury.
Mr. Raemiguel Lee and board are at present!
Good, then. All parties are present. Leaders please stand forward and say the Oath of Truth.

I promise to say the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth.

I promise to say the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth.

I promise to judge the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth.

Now let's get on with the Debate, the whole Debate and nothing but the Debate. The Motion for today's debate is that 'This house believe that this blog should be sustained'. Both parties have three minutes to elaborate on as many points as they can, since we've got minmal time right now. Proposition, begin.

Gentlemen, there are many reasons why we should keep this blog running. For my first point, I'd like to state that this blog would be a good archive for us all, and we can record whatever we've gone through in the past into this 'database'. From here, we could tell our children and grandchildren and many more generations to come about how we had lived. And furthermore, if we become famous somehow by the Glory of God, and if anyone needs todo research/documnetation on us, this blog would be very useful.

A second point I would like to hilight would be the most important - the initial purpose of starting this blog in the first place. Originally, this blog was founded by Mr. Raemiguel Lee as a digital form of a Christian journal. He found it hard to write his encounters with the Lord each day into a normal book, so felt it would be better if he could just type it out instead, since the Tablet was made available to him. Besides, publishing about how Christ had touched him and been with him through his life in a publicly-accessable place would also be good so as to use this site not only as a Journal, but as a Testimony Database...

Objection!

Refused!

Stand down. Opposition, speak.

In the area of 'testimony', would you like to state how you'd fare with sharing this testimony? Mr. Lee, please unscrol Exibit A. (Unscrol)

*Gasp* That's... 'recomendation'!

Exactly. Would you dare to share about 'recomendation' to your family? To your friends? To the public? You all know very well the wraft of 'recomendation', and how much shame it can bring to us all. Would you be willing to share about 'recomendation' when the time calls for it? Thank you. (Scrol)

Mr. Lee, I hope you remember that the Lord Himself allowed 'recomendation' to happen to us all for those three dreadful years for a purpose. A purpose we're not fully certain about, but nevertheless a purpose. It could be a way of saving fellow Christians out there since they're also going through something similiar or fully identical to 'recomendation'. You know very well about *****'s condition. He needs help. God will tell us when we should share about 'recomendation' for the safe-comfort of our struggling friends, and when the call comes we will share even if it means or reputation. A brother in need is more important than a reputation indeed. May I continue?

Resume your stand.

My third point is that you can use this blog for...

Timer has rung. Proposition please end. Opposition, begin.

Gentlemen, we must all be cautious of the disadvantages this blog can bring us. Firstly, it is time-killing. It kills too much time that we end up loosing work or sleep hours at times. We've tried our best to decrease time taken by blogging through the 'Non-thousand Essay' Move, which proved to be a failure as even friends had commented that a 'short' blog post created by us is concidered 'dull'. This proves that in order to sustain quality in the blog, we need quantity. And this quantity is sustained by time spent on blogging, a price I advice to not sustain. The amount of time spent could be used more efficiently on studying and projects, very imortant things to take note of at this age.

Secondly, this blog, due to the specials, can sometimes be the source of insults and conflicts between friends, even when not intended. For example, Exibit B shows Post: Academia Real del Imperio de Dan..., which had sparked a few complaints after publishing due to inaccuracies or just the embarassment of being posted onto a public site.

We've also seen how a couple of posts related to name puns caused great distress that lead to the Battle of Pun at the cBox. The cBox is our only communication to the other societies and we can't afford to have another war in there again! Even our allies, like the Shadow Union (now the Attelo Union) and the Lamentations Federation, had wanted to refuse us during the battle, something we do not intend to make a permanant reality...

Point of Information.

Yes, Sir?

I feel that these conflicts are well-understood to be 'unintended' already. Don't forget that we were complimented by a whole lot more people than critisized in Academia Real del Imperio de Dan.... The fact that even Jaira could say that it was smashing means a lot, Gentlemen. And even in the Battle of Pun, the SU and the LF came back to the cBox within less than a couple of days from the battle. We mean no harm, and they all know that. Think about it. Thank you.

Now, my third point would be the...

Timer has rung. Opposition please end. The Final Judgement would be made official and declared tomorrow. God be with us all, gentlemen. Miguels, dismissed.
