81. On the contrary...
If a debate is to be held online (which is what the two of you are proposing), then it is the forum that allows people to speak at will as well as allowing a participant to drop off for hours or days to prepare when they are losing ground.

What if in live debates the participants were allowed to leave the stage when confronted with a hard question?

If a debate is to be held online a live private chat area best resembles a live debate. Certainly you tell those in attendance not to interact.
