Description

Voting is a sacred right. Liberals probably feel anyone who vote for Trump is too stupid or evil to vote, Conservatives probably feel anyone who votes for Bernie or Warren is a commie and should be arrested. Yet we all get to vote as long we put down our guns or bombs for a moment. My voting rights were suspended because some ass here didnt like the way i was doing it. well f(**^ you!@

@DynamicSquid

Sure. I did check other debates at the time and found I like this one more than others.

I'm not saying you did anything wrong here, but would this be an example of Noob Sniping?

Your votes are not under review at this time. Pro offered no contest, so unless someone nitpicks, I don't generally care. That said, on any debate where there is a contest between them, please vote better (at least not adding excess categories to the vote without explanation).

BTW, I am trying to get a No Contest special case added to the COC, largely for debates like this, where you each already put in greater effective effort than one of the debaters.

If you have a problem with any vote, report it. As for Ram and myself having voted before them thus not seen them, that should be self explanatory...

I do see what you mean looking now. I'm not going to report them because I don't think their votes are likely to have any impact in the outcome, so it would be a waste of everyone's effort; doubly so with pro having made a case that people should just ignore the rules and vote however they want.

Wow, no one, not even the two mods who voted, saw or reported the last two votes with no RFD. Hilarious.

@oromagi

Why?

Wow.

Not saying who is right or wrong but pros arguments were weak...

Rules used to say you could have slaves... rules also say you cant murder people willy nilly. Clearly rules are not bad just because they are rules, but because of their individual justifications.

Pro used an example of a bad rule to descredit rules in general, which ignores all the good rules that we should be glad exists. He never questioned the specifics of the rules, just their existence. Thats a fail.

Does pro think we should also have secret voting and let trolls ruin this site in the name of blind idealism?
