Burden of proof is shared

Rules: Con can only use English.

I like this debate a lot.

As an intelligent person, I can see where he cimes from too; trolling.

@RationalMadman

that said, if you want to appeal the decision, the voting mods can review it for you.

@RationalMadman

I disagree with the vote as well, but as a rational person I can see where Intelligence was coming from. His line of thought is that the resolution states that CON definitely WILL use the letter E in all cases. PRO didn't prove that they will in all cases. In fact, PRO did little proving at all. Instead, CON made a blunder. So despite CON using the letter E, PRO's BoP is still unfulfilled.

Again, not my opinion, but as a rational line of reasoning, it fulfills the voting requirements.

@K_Michael

It was a "bypass" argument for a debate like this one that I used. Like a "hint" as how to bypass the resolution and still win the argument.

yay RM's back

@RM (can't even @ you, smh)

This is a debating site, and it is about whose arguments are better. Pro literally gave up debating because his arguments are either "Con will probably use the letter E" or "Con used the letter E", but never the resolution. a good debater can prove why National Bolshevism should be utilized in this world in wide practice. Just because you are right doesn't mean you automatically win.

@MisterChris

You allowed a vote for a literal factual debate that lies about who won. Lmao.

@TNBinc

Out of curiosity, what was the comment you deleted?

**************************************************
>Reported Vote: Intelligence_06 // Mod action: Not Removed
>Points Awarded: 1:3; 3 points to CON.
>Reason for Decision: See Debate Tab
>Reason for Mod Action: While I completely disagree with their decision, users are allowed to assign points in any way they see fit as long as they adhere to DART voting guidelines. There are some exceptions, such as cases that are so blatantly unfair no rational person can approve of it, but otherwise our interpretive ability is severely handicapped.

Anyway, this vote met the bare minimum of voter requirements.

@K_Michael

Ah, you were so close.

A for effort, but I goofed.

-->
@seldiora

This'll tank my points for sure.

-->
@seldiora

You were cocky. It's happened to me. I would probably be higher on the leaderboard if I had thought a few debates through more thoroughly. Thanks for playing though!

-->
@K_Michael

sorry, i dunno what i was thinking when i started this debate

This one seems kind of easy for CON

Ha! You fool, I can simply act chary about words I pick to use. Wait, shit, I said the letter! Oh no, I said it four times!!! OH GOD, OH FUCK

@K_Michael
@seldiora

I really want to see how this turns out.

-->
@Intelligence_06

Okay........ i did

-->
@TNBinc

shush, don't reveal the obvious! Delete the previous comment.

Censoring it still counts as using it, and the original version will contain the letter E.

-->
@seldiora

If Jewish ppl can write "God" as "G-d", why don't expect you to do similarly?

-->
@seldiora

yes.

-->
@Intelligence_06

are you suuuure about that?

I bet $1,000 on Con.

-->
@seldiora

I will do it.
