Either you didn't read the arguments, or you don't know what it means. I had full BOP here, so if he proved ONE point of mine to be incorrect, the BOP stays unfulfilled and CON wins anyway. I'll make sure to make more BOP balanced topics in the future.

I don't see why you would concede this, but nothing surprising I suppose. I don't think either argument was particularly good so it could have gone either way at this stage.

No words... +1 win for the GOAT

In the late 80's, Will Shortz used to author a weekly puzzle in syndication in many arts and entertainment weekly tabloids. My local weekly carried it for a few years and offered 2 free tickets to the Ogden Theatre to the first five correct answers. I discovered that if I painted the envelope containing the puzzle answer with elaborate depictions of fishtanks, toucans, planetary systems, etc that I always won- even when I was not likely to have been one of the first five correct answers.
