Both of you, care to take your heated and non-topic related debate onto MSN?

I would not call it heated per se. That would suggest we are arguing. I have MSN, but I use other IM more, can not do so round finals though; a forum is the better medium though rather than passing short sentences. Forums historically are for debating (since back in Roman times).
It is not really off topic, we are looking at the underlying causes of bullying and the solutions and their merit. You do not have to read if you do not want to.

We are arguing, right? Debate is a method of argument. Two people disagreeing in something and yelling at each other isn't really arguing.

The topic was about counseling on a case of bullying, and from what the OP said, it was solved 3 or more pages ago. Any further debate (i called it heated cause the debaters took their reasoning really at heart: no meaning of flaming here, instead they were much composed in explaining their opinion) is just Off Topic.

What makes you think anyone took anything at heart? Also, there's a difference between an argument and just explaining one's opinion (I didn't have any concrete opinion from the start, since I haven't given the topic that much thought), and I'd call this an argument (perhaps it's something else, but I don't know about these things really). But you're correct that this topic was about "counseling on a case of bullying". But now that it's not such anymore, I don't see why we couldn't continue on the topic.

Well, it's time up for me again, so this post really was just off topic, it seems...

Far-off places with sweet sounding names.
