Before you read this, Vert, and if you do read this, this is my opinion. Keep that in mind.

Look, I'll be honest. You've been a total douche. When people don't debate the way you wanted, you'd give an asshole-y response and then go on to the next one. If you thought people could debate better, which I totally agree they could, and sure even I could, you should explain where the faults are, instead of flipping everyone off.

Let me drag up some quotes.

" It was the biggest disappointment in all of DoTW seeing how easy people give up, especially in this debate."

" Looking for good points in this debate was like trying to harvest crops in the middle of a desert."

If you want us to debate well, then judge well. I'm assuming you are at least on the debate team at your school, because you obviously care a lot about debating. Maybe that means you can find flaws and judge better.

Well, you didn't. You used whatever debating expertise you had, and then, well... I'm not gonna go into expletives (realizing I called you an asshole up above but still).

I debated for the fun of it. I was not cross-examining, or drawing up tons of research (aside from the math from whichever debate I did math on). I was doing this for fun. I assume others were, too.

This was not a professional debate. None of the debates were professional debates. Quit treating them like they were.
