RFD in Comments
FF ⠀
FF is bad conduct
..-. --- .-. . ..-. .. -
This is what Ragnar said my previous RFD was, so if it says anything inappropriate ;)
Lol jk
Not the worst start to a K from con (even if the description indicated the subject matter of us, as in humans), but no follow through, instead he dropped out every round after the first (making it an FF).

I'd like to apologize for the forfeited rounds. My school blocks this site, and my job has no wifi at all. If we debate again in the future, I would be better able to participate if the debating period is 3 or more days.

Thanks for pointing it out!
Hey, I just wanted to point out, did you guys mix up Con and Pro?
Oh, and armoredcat, I can't read binary lol
"my opponents didn't respond to any of my arguments in my last speech."
"Round 1 - First argument
Round 2 - Second argument, and clash
Round 3 - Summarization, and clash"
My interpretation of this is that there is no direct response (clash) to the other's argument in the first round. It is only stating my own beliefs.
