That's what you get for playing games. You want a 5-round debate, debate 5 rounds and stop this waiving nonsense. You've got an argument; make it!. You initiate, you begin your argument first. Is that so hard? Waive; wave bye-bye to the debate.

I realized he’s probably going to k me

Here is a re-active RM, which accepts everything he could think of.

Please, no arguments over semantics.

The purpose of waiving is so that CON presents first to satisfy BoP.

The Earth warms everyday, by 10s of degrees in some places. It largely has to do with various forms of solar radiation.

I have to ask, what is the motivation behind waiving the first and last rounds?
