It will help you both in casual and competitive debating but is definitely primarily about winning online debates, whether in forums or life.
To prove I am not all talk, I finally am climbing the leaderboards here. I always could have done so skill-wise but many people were intentionally leaving debates tied and the site just didn't have enough going on for periods as well as my real life being busier.
I will take 2 students at a time and it will work as a combination of live coaching (since this site has not ruled that out) during debates and lessons/sessions.
I will like if you have Discord if you want to be a long-term student (more than just 1-2 weeks) and will prove that I get results by how my students do, it will not be a secret who my students are and I will not debate them or allow them to debate each other during the coaching.
I require the following criteria:
1. You were not blocked by me on the website in the past 40 days.
2. You have proven that you have the raw level of activity on the website to be a decently active debater, I need you to be active as I won't get paid, my reward is you doing well as my student.
3. You do not fuck around and troll me thinking I'm all talk or that my methods are bullshit. You do that more than once, you are terminated as a student I won't make a big deal nor will I care if people think I'm petty.
4. You are fluent in the language English.
5. You can participate (not necessarily in live IMs) in regular intervals for at least 2 full weeks or very intensive for 1 week depending how busy I am that week.
6. You do not think we are friends (necessarily) in any shape or form, you don't ask me for any personal details and I give you the same courtesy.
I will not reveal the syllabus publicly and it will be tailored to each student anyway. I will give you homework and teach you things at times that are tweaked to the current climate of voters and debaters.
What I am doing, in competitive gaming is stuff people pay good money for, you can think it's a joke or whatever but I'm doing it for free. I am serious about it if you are.

The art of debating is not to be openminded to delusions being true and truths being false, the art lies in making your audience fall victim to that and to end up believing your opponent's ideas and opinions are brutally flawed (regardless of your own being true).
My approach has as a foundational idea that debating is far more about destroying and mitigating the opponent's ideas than it is about having good ideas yourself. Once in a while you will lose a debate by following this philosophy of debating but it's not about winning nonstop, it's about playing the game of debating like a bloody canvas on which all blood shed by you had to be shed and all strikes you direct at the enemy demand a lot of time and energy from them to defend against.
I will never be the best debater at just writing a tonne of points/text and coming out a champion from that alone. I am the one to annihilate ten lines of what you wrote with one sentence. It is not easy to debate like this, it just looks easy because it revolves around efficient, minimised effort in actual written debate (the real effort is in the thinking and strategising).
If you step to me in the debating arena, know that I am seasoned, tactical and will rip your ideas to pieces while giving you ideas that are slanted so that you don't quite know how to fight them without putting in a lot of text and effort.

You know the debate I want to have and you cowered out of. It can stay as a point of conflict between hmus or you can finally join me in supporting they/them genderfluids who are not mentally ill while wanting to treat dysphoria, which is a severe mental disorder bordering involving the delusion that to surpass heteronormative gender roles, one needs to use artificial hormones, wigs, plastic surgery and such to mimic the sex, not the gender, attached to that role by the heteronormative society.

Cloudflare is a proxy that protects against DDoSing, he is not literally running the servers of the website there, instead they process from what has passed through cloudflare.
To prove this, if you do your so called advanced search, you would find the proxies spread through brazil and netherlands too at times, meaning this website has a secure proxy protection layer to its servers.

The circle is due to circular logic from the Theist side.

It would serve you well to stop getting so furious over a forum thread and perhaps either calm down and get anger management therapy or channel that anger towards the genocidal actions of Putin's regime. You really are so mad over nothing. It is sad to watch.

He posted that for the first time ever on this website after I said he has claimed to be Russian in every sense thus far, both in origin and residence.
You are lying through your teeth and the biggest sign of it is how you pretended he said that before I did.

My contention is that RationalMadman's proposal that a unified stance as members of debateART be made against the Russian-Ukrainian conflict solely because the creator and owner of this website lists his (her?) native language as "Russian," albeit attention-mongering, is racist. That's all there is to it.
The user resides in Russia, or so they claim.
The user therefore has the entire website's server data and functionality dependent on Russian law.
Is that okay with you or do you not comprehend that? This website is owned by and run inside of Russia.

If you hate attention mongering, stop posting.
Your definition of attention mongering is entirely subjective and based upon when you decide attention is the motive.
I can do that to every single one of your posts.
Get the fuck over yourself. This thread isn't about me, it's not about you. Get a grip.

What you are seeing is a former KGB agent with severe ASPD already (psychopath/sociopath) growing into a jaded lunatic with PTSD and newfound schizophrenia.
He needs psychiatric help but instead is enabled on a global scale to act out his mental illnesses.

LOL! Top quality comedy.
So you won't call Putin a coward but will call Hungary a coward?
If Hungary was as big and singularly powerful as Russia, then you can call it a coward.
China and India have been cowards during this, not Hungary, they're just biding time.
So, if you accuse Hungary's leadership of cowardice, leave it at that or else you seem ignorant of this:

How about the drone attacks on innocent people in Pakistan? Do you hold Bush Jr. responsible for those or is that again just a flaw of the circumstance?

@coal
I see, I see.
So when your personally beloved Bush Jr. (or his American military people, depending on your perspective) bombed and tortured Iraqis left right and centre in the name of his agenda with Iraq and against Saddam Hussein, was that US doing it or your beloved Bush Jr?
I am asking only to understand your personal view of reality and where you decide to blur the line between country and leader and where you suddenly leave a leader blameless for war crimes and blame the people instead.
If you'd like me to link to you sympathising with George Bush Jr. I can do so.
I am happy to vilify Putin, I am not sure what happened to make you think I hate all Russians but Putin is the leader of which country? Which nation is aggressing in this war? Not 'Putin', I can tell you that.

You do realize that this is your beginning and one of the most often used strawman arguments provided by atheists. Christians don't believe in the strawman god you have outlined. Christians begin with God is Holy. God is just and perfect. God is love. God is peace. God is truth. Christians begin with the character of God. Non-Christians begin with the so called power attributes.To start with the power and not with the character simply reflects the idea that God is power. Christians say power is only a small part of who and what God is.God's revealed will is that people should not worship other gods. You did not address this. You chose to try and rejig the discussion to AVOID answering it.When you bother to address that question and statement - then we can look at the rejigging - to see if it is relevant.
Perhaps that explains why the believers are in the wrong then, their logic is backwards.
If a being has power to control and stop (as well as enable) everything, has infinite knowledge of all variables that are real and existent at any time and has omnipresence to be aware of all reality at all times and be active everywhere at once, it follows that nothing within the reality is able to unknowingly (accidentally) be occuring outside of God's wilful control.

I think they used his real name and his (fake or real, we still do not publicly know) suicidal rant here and got cops to act on it.
Then again you are right, why would the cops believe it without proof he was the guy they said he was.
The thing you and I disagree on is firstly I see Wylted as a villain to the website, not a good guy or hero of any variety. I told the mods it was a mistake to unban him before and was proven correct.
He is irresponsible, a loose cannon and if ADOL was ever going to let slip his/her/their real identity, we sure as hell will not be allowed to witness the slip-up thanks to Wylted's blackmailing ADOL into silence, so publicly.
The FBI does not wave a warning flag at you before investigating you. If they did, they'd barely succeed at all.

Bsh and David did that because David literally knows Wylted irl. Sorry if that is doxxing to reveal but that was how they so easily did what they did and why David cared and dared to take such action.
Ragnar was not involved.
