long time no blog

You'll have to forgive my lack of posting as of late; I've been frantically finishing the final draft of my thesis to submit to my committee, which has sidelined many other obligations I've had for the past week.

That said, the immense relief of turning it in was short-lived at the realization that I have much more to do in regards to my project for debate in such a little amount of time.

The most recent draft focused heavily on the concept of debate as a family; and debate tournaments as family reunions. While I would like to maintain that metaphor in moving forward, I recognized the importance of discussing not only the fight between Bill and Shanara that forced NDT/CEDA into the headlines of CNN and Fox News, but to step back even further, and address the nature of the debate that caused the fight that led to it's placement on YouTube and discovery by the public.

More to come as this process is completed.
