Reason:

Credit to pro for making sense, and not copy/pasting (a rarity for him), however forfeiting 3 out of 5 rounds still left the counter case (weak as it was) unchallenged. So yes, apparently never loving gives all the benefits of trial relationships and none of the drawbacks.

I find it funny that Pro complains about Con's forfeiture and proceeds to forfeit the rest of the debate.

Reason:

Conduct because of more forfeitures.

Pro wound up dropping all of Con's case because of his forfeitures. Arguments to Con as a result.
