" . . . barring extreme cases like someone with a particularly mockable speech impediment, for which "debate" might well just involve having the crowd laugh at his expense."
Your observation reminds me of former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's speech impediment (mangling his "L's" by voicing them at the back of his throat rather than with tip of the tongue behind his top teeth). Rudy debated extensively and was never mocked for how he speaks. NBC newscaster Tom Brokaw has the same speech impairment. Jarring to the ears but it hasn't hurt him, either.
Blame the victim much? Bullying can leave terrible psychological scars, even driving the bullied child to commit suicide. I'm glad for your recovery but emotional scars are neither easily healed nor 'nonsense.'
Americans use Facebook to spread political unrest, do they? Red China uses censorship, labor camps, torture and murder to squelch theirs. Clean up your act first, Wang, then we'll talk.
It's not that the protons just got smaller. The electrons got bigger.
Meanwhile, an anonymous neutron was reportedly quoted off the record as saying: "Not my problem. This is between them."
"Infringing music" my fat asterisk! When did the value of free publicity get get tossed out the window? When did giving tribute to one's favorite artist -- in a NOT-for-profit enviornment, mind you -- get clubbed over the head as 'copyright infringment'? When did someone decide that "fair use" should become unfairly prohibited? Tell me please because I never got the memo.

How many years is the officer facing?
Do they have Aussie bestiality bondage? Tie me kangaroo down, sport!
Auto-fill is enabled by default? OK, disable it by default and enable only when needed. Seems that would solve this problem until a fix is released.
Sheesh? Ha! HaSheesh.
Baby you can't drive my car.
Dear Google, here's a critical vulnerability that needs fixing: selling one's principles for 30 pieces of egg roll.
Won't someone think of the al-Queda children?
I'll ask Kelsey and get back to you. But seriously... -- Grammar nazi: in pre-Web days they were called editors.
Thanks for the link to the article which I read. Learned it is not Limbaugh's but Roy Spencer, PhD's, theory. http://www.drroyspencer.com/about/
Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chen tonight.

It's about damned time, too! We may run out of oil but we'll never run out of our excitable little friends, the atoms.
Well, you can say that about anything. It's correct until proven otherwise.
Moreover, any czar clueless enough to suggest 'tax incentives' (cuts!) will find himself spending more time with his family before the week is up.
Sneak peek to year 2015: "It wasn't me what did it, I tell ya! It was my clone!"

When in NYC walk gingerly around manholes. You never know when one might blow.
The telemarketer has a right to make a living. We, on the other hand, have a right to be left alone. Conclusion: We prevail, by any device necessary.
LOL that was vitreously humorous. Mind floating another one?
