>Reported Vote: RationalMadman // Mod action: Removed
>Points Awarded: 7 points to Pro
>Reason for Decision: Today is a great day. Speedrace's rap felt forced. The fact Wrick would concede was such a great metaphor for how little he has to try vs speedrace.
Wow speedrace, you tried too hard.

>Reason for Mod Action: This vote presents a bit of a quandary. On the one hand, it is a troll debate, and they are not moderated. On the other hand, it is a conceded debate which, according to the site's voting policy, "are not moderated unless a voter votes for the side that concedes." Clearly, most votes on this debate would not be moderated, but depending on whether it should be classified first as a troll debate or first as a concede debate, there may or may not be cause to moderate certain votes on the debate itself. The question then becomes: which model of interpretation (troll or concession) takes precedence when they conflict? Given the principle that a concession equates to a loss, albeit a gracious one, which is rooted in a basic notion of fairness, moderation rules that the concession model takes precedence. Therefore, because the voter voted for the conceding side, the vote is moderatable and removable.

Paraphrasing red dwarf:
The only thing he is guilty of is being RationalMadman. That is his crime.
It is also his punishment.
This is why people like you (and why RM doesn't like you)
I don't think I can rap well.
