Good stuff. Some of these arguments will definitely be showing up in the COG sourcebook.
I think NCFCA/Stoa debate suffers a bit from case-centrism - the unspoken assumption that the only good brief is a case-specific one. A generic "funnel technique" like Dr. Srader describes here is worth investing some time in.
Side note: There's actually some literature you can use to turn the "community enforcement" idea into a pretty spiffy language kritik. It's not likely to go down too well with the Stoa judging pool, but there are some pretty fantastic direct links if you look around.
Here at Northwest Christian University, we debate and speak to lift up the glorious name of God. We compete our hearts out, but we also involve ourselves in other groups and activities, because there are too many opportunities to serve and grow for any of us to put everything into one pursuit.
