Yes and you read me asking you to leave me alone as an invitation to keep badgering me. It's no problem, I'll just do the same to your threads, had enough of your shit.
You have quite simply contributed jack shit to this actual thread's conversation, all you've done is tell me you don't like it. I told you to make your own thread and post there if you can make better, yet you come back again and again like a moth to a flame.

Philosophy as opposed to pure Theology (I am an expert at this I would say, Zaradi beat me because he's also an expert at it)
Computer Science (Tech but not AI, more privacy stuff, cyber security, web development etc)
^ this is especially true for ethics and philosophy of tech-based stuff.
Economics (but it bores me), politics (usually more political science and theory rather than law byt I am moderately good at the law debating stuff, it just rarely appears juicy enough of a debate to out my time and effort into.
Psychology/Psychiatry as well as Sociology (I always treat abortion debates as much more sociological than philosophical, regardless of which sode I take but definitely when on the pro-choice side and on this website I've never played devil's advocate on it but I can respect and understand the pro-life stance, it after all was how our species began to populate Earth).
I am better than most (but not an expert) at grinding elo at troll debates. I understand how to appeal to the audience but not fully so... It's my risky/rewardy way that rose so fast to #1 early on im the website's development (aside from winfarming vs Type1).
My weaknesses are extremely specific science debates or AI-specific tech stuff. Also, law itself, as opposed to politics is not really my forte. Stuff like Jury ethics, Judges, Cops, and clauses in law aren't my best suit.
I also am oddly skilled at debates about showbusiness, literature (fiction essentially). I've consistently been a formidable opponent even if I lost a particular debate on it, in my opinion.
I am mediocre at extremely detailed Theology debates.

@3RU7AL
I've mentioned you in this thread, it is not intended as a call-out thread but I'm notifying you so that if you object, you can say so sooner.
Created:
The one thing 3RU7AL has done more than the rest is he likes every single post on threads he reads (and doesn't like his own).
At first, I was like okay... weird... And it's fine to be weird, we all are weird here in our own way.
The thing I couldn't quite understand is why he never liked his own posts if this was his habit, I figured maybe it's a thing of hoping others notice and like him back (which I have done at times).
That said, I want to note something else, there are users like myself and Supadudz who clearly are posting far more than some beating us at 'likes'. There is no way this is happening if you look at the ratios (we aren't that much worse at making like-worthy posts).
1096:681
This is the ratio of Tarik
2268:1148
This is the ratio of Theweakeredge
12,269:1,049
This is the ratio of Supadudz
9,429:802
This is the ratio of myself.
8,753:1,328
This is the ratio of 3RU7AL.
I am absolutely certain that this would not be possible if it was based on likes received. In fact, I am happy that it is based on likes given as it's kind of cute in a way and that 3RU7AL secretly noticed this. It seems he calculated that it doesn't reward you for liking your own posts, which I now understand is perhaps true (the admin himself said so) but it is measing likes you've given.

I've read the link and the only thing I may be wrong about is him being right-wing. I actually do think he is a Conservative voter but he does actively say negative things about the far-right. He comes across to me as someone who is talking about things the same way those he's complaining about talk about the police, so yeah I stand by calling him an edgy hypocrite as that's what I believe he is. He's done, good for him? I'd rather a frustrated cop or two quit and people be a little too harsh on them with scrutiny than that police abuse be turned the other way to and enabled by notions like 'making a fuss is wrong'.

It really wasn't well said at all. Rarely is anything RM says exquisite lol. But since he is circle jerking your opinion, I can see why you would say that lol
You misformat 'misspell' and 'disagree' as mis-spell and dis-agree and make countless grammatical errors on the regular. Most of what you write isn't exquisite at all yet I don't go around dragging you into shit even if someone else compliments you. You're the salty one here, not me. It's a dynamic you're not used to as you have a lot of preconceptions about me.
You seem used to dealing with people, in general, who give in if you keep calling them cowards or insulting their ability to write, talk, reason or whatever else.
I am not here to circlejerk anything. I have individually taken you on, refusing to help Theweakeredge rebuke your replies. You are the one who is very used to circlejerking against users like myself, who typically react very wrong to situations where you're baiting us, this makes it easy to then say "ooh, look what he said while he was triggered I am innocent and correct."
I'm not going to take any bait here. You can think my writing is shit and think I've replied to nothing you've written. I've had my contentions consistently be the ones avoided here. Your replies literally admit how bad Wylted is and then try to turn it on me saying I am just as bad or some other weird way to sidetrack the argument.
Each time, I reply calmly to you explaining frankly and sincerely why I support the ban on Wylted despite agreeing with you about the mods in general. You keep biting back with snarky remarks and insults for absolutely no constructive reason that I can tell, unless your intention is to trigger me at some point and hope I say something easy to turn against me.

Just to be clear.
Wylted has indeed expressed pedophilic notions and crude 'jokes' about things he may or may not have done or want to do. Stop pretending it's a one-off incident. He's done this shit for years, it's fucking disgusting.
Secondly, I said the mods who rise in lax environments are frat-boy and sorority-sister types, not in controlled environments.
Last but not least, I agree with the means and the ends. Wylted was banned far too late and has posted 100% illegal shit such as inciting political assassinations and racist notions, not to mention the age of consent stuff. I got 0 sympathy for him, he's scum.

I did not do that. I have gone out of my way to defend the ban despite having every reason to side with you against the mods if this was about me being vengeful to those who stood in my way.
I don't like Ragnar or David. They indeed can often twist things out of proportion to justify bans. If you made a thread that was not specifically about that one Wylted incident, I would be on your side 100%. I am furious that they still have written those things about me on the moderation thread because they are literally lies that someone will come and read.
When I say 'furious', no I am not sitting here anymore actively raging about it but it caused me severe distress at the time and remains a source of irritation for me. This site meant a lot to me back then, that act was one of the biggest reasons I couldn't give the slightest shit if this site shut down right now, today. I'd find somewhere else to debate.
I do dig the idea of this website in the same way I loved the idea of DDO, the problem is not in the concept and is why I will still use this website even though I have reasons not to and definitely don't 'love' it anymore.
I am sided both against the moderation and against Wylted and this is 0% the time for me to feign resentment towards the mods for flexing their muscle. Even when Bsh1 was in charge, I congratulated him when he correctly punished prominent and popular members such as samstevens who had been bullying me in particular and forcing me to bite back as Bsh1 had sat back and done nothing.
There is such as thing as too lax/little moderation and it's a very nasty atmosphere which you may personally desire (only the most emotionally gritty people will remain in the long run). The problem with moderation that starts off like that is that it inevitably, over time, becomes 'ban the unpopular troublemakers' anyway, since only the corrupt 'frat boy' or 'sorority sister' types end up as mods.
There are many less well known forums, discussion boards etc moderated in this way, it's not rare.
The mods here are annoying, they don't reason with us about their bans and it's such a small community that it does kind of matter.
I am here defending their actions because this one in particular strikes me as a solid ban, this time I don't have an agenda. I wish they'd speak but I will speak on their behalf since all that was done here is David said 'it's for legal reasons end of discussion' and I can understand what he means if he means the hate speech and way Wylted defends very nasty things but you and him disagree that most on the final act and what exactly the context was.
I wish he'd reply to you, I wish Ragnar would post here. Instead, they sit back and let members such as myself and theweakeredge defend on their behalf and I am happy to do so because justice and debating do matter to me and you in particular are making this thread out of genuine concern, not to troll the mods.

Since you're trying to shake away just how severely bad he is, I request you to reply to this post: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/5791/post-links/252861
I am shocked and appalled at how you downplay just what being a full-on racist itself is but he is much more than just that (and not in a good way of being 'more than that'). I elaborated in the linked post.
Since the closing statement of your most recent post at the point of me replying this admits how bad Wylted is, I won't assume you're demanding proof.
Wylted is absolutely the type of user that needs to be banned. I explain why your approach is the wrong one in the post I have linked to.
Moderators are guardians, they are supposed to safeguard the community that they moderate. I cannot fathom how blaming victims by default is efficient moderation but you keep saying it is.
I am not going to buy into the notion that I am even disliked in the same way and to the same level that Wylted is (by the general userbase).
This tactic is not just you alone. Many people like to use this tactic of 'everyone dislikes you, some even hate you' and it's a terrible thing to feel and experience. I have sat back and really considered if I am truly loathed by all here before returning. The haters are more readily vocal about their views. That's all.
Wylted, on the flip side, is indeed resented by almost all users. He has gone out of his way to ensure this is the case. I cannot begin to grasp how you are defending him while admitting what he has said and done. You're solely focusing on the final act, rather than seeing the bigger picture.

I'm assuming you're referring to what he did under Obama? Or recent events? I wasn't aware of significant recent events like that. Do you know what Bashir al-Assad did to his people?
There are two absolute hardline taboos in the world that other nations will back uses of force to stop:
- Chemical weapon usage on the populace.
- Sanctioning an act that was intended to harm another nation's people, especially high ranking officials.
Trump is extremely fortunate that Iran didn't overreact to the completely illegal assassination of their General.
The Syrian people were being inhumanely assaulted, not just oppressed, by their very own government. When you talk about invasion of other nations and war, I cannot side with the Left Wing on this matter if they argue pacifism from a nation that itself has caused issues in the middle east before and is undeniably nosy, in the face of absolute tyranny in Syria, is the right approach. I don't side with the Right Wing anyway, so them hypocritically saying that isn't my issue.

He's also been quite a cunning guy in how he climbed the political ladder and has said very shocking things at times.
The main reason I find fault with him as President of such a major nation is his aged brain and body are blatantly not truly fit for what he has to do. He is actually extremely lucky (ironically) that the world is on lockdown, so he doesn't have to run around to many international or even national meetings and events, since he can video conference very often and cause no offence.

Other than my accusation to Mikal, I wasn't banned for my views. There areassice differences between Wylted and myself, it's you failing to see that which is more disturbing than the idea I'm a hypocrite.
I can support a punishment on my former self (not that one you're referring to but a previous one or two) in part and still debate, which you say you're a fan of, the ban of another being just ('just' as in justice/justified).
There are thick, strict lines Wylted has crossed. He is racist to a strong lev. This is a fact. If you're trolling and pretending to be racist, you deserve to be punsihed for what you're typing, not what we assume you really are.
When it comes to views, Wylted is the epitome of abhorrent but that's not all there is to it. His interactions all revolve around getting the most distress out of other users as is possible. I am aware it's possible you think I'm the same, which is complete nonsense and part of the entire idsue with the recent ban I received and way the mods handled it.
I can and have been toxic (less so bow than years before) but I've matured and learned harsh lessons in life. The current me wouldn't have clashed much with Bench back then, I'd have blocked him and got on with my life. Regardless, even at what you think is my absolute worst, my intentions and people I beefed with were never based on who is eays to prey on and wind up.
Wylted actively, consistently picks out any member who is easy to wind up and goes out of his way to piss them off if they happen to grab his attention for any reason. This is also why he resents bsh1 for beating him in a DDO presidency election where Wylted was running as the equivalent of Trump; intending to both incite conflicts within DDO and make a complete mockery of Juggle and the entire establishment.
You can argue this way and that about who I am and how I am wired. It's your perogative to delude yourself into thinking I'm the simplistic thug like troll that you identify someone like Wylted as but you're wrong.
You're playing a dirty game here where you try to alter the conversation to be about me or theweakeredge and our character. I'm not going to play that bullshit game and attack your character. Wylted's behavior is atrocious and much more than that one event. If you'd like I will compile a series of posts and threads solely from DART to show you the type of person you're defending.

@Theweakeredge
This is aimed primarily at Lunatic but I want to discuss something with you both.
Aside from you kind of lying and downplaying what Wylted has done (he has indeed joked about what you said he hasn't joked about), would you like to treat this topic as about more than that one act where he said he was an age he wasn't?
Theweakeredge is trying to get you to do this and you are generally dodging the topic. I understand that you are an extreme libertarian who thinks we should say and do whatever we want. Most people, including me even, are not. I actually side closer to you on the general idea of free speech but the issue isn't just what he's saying, it's what it actually means and represents.
You would agree with me if I said to you that people who say the wrong thing can get it twisted out of proportion. However, you suddenly disagree when I suggest the opposite can occur. You are doing to Wylted, the inverse of what cancel culture is. You are part of a phenomenon I would dub as vindication culture.
To avoid this being solely an attack and refusing to find middle ground I will ask both you and theweakeredge to answer me the following:
Rules, in their true form, should represent aspects of a type of bad actor or personality that needs to be tamed and avoided for the good of the community, would you not agree? If so, what type of person is Wylted and what do you suggest we do to make him become anything other than negative for the community of DART?

Oromagi wins by erosion of opponents' rebuttal efficiency via gish gallop and skilled source quotation to make him seemore backed up than his opponent at all times. To defeat him, don't use cunning, for some reason voters don't accurately comprehend when you've outplayed him logically.
Winning on this website comes down to voters and their way of thinking, not to logic. Remember this in close debstes and refine your ability to talk/type in a way that makes voters feel you made many good points and that your opponent's points are 'meh' at best, then you'll be sure to improve at your winning edge.
The most difficult task isn't gaining ranking, it's not feeling dead inside or that you're wasting your life arguing for internet points.
I overcame this by finally dedicating to topics and debates where I feel my angle could be interesting. You seem dedicated to the internet points, so you'll have to overcome it your own way. Oromagi picks topics where he knows he can essentially gaslight his opponent on something. It is indeed sociopathic but in a 1v1 game, you can't gain ranking and have a winrate like Oromagi without being sociopathic in your approach.
Don't assume logic will win, don't assume facts will overpower rhetoric. Never underestimate how important it is to get very skilled at rhetoric and talking about the debate in a way that portrays you as the intelligent, well-spoken victim and your opponent as the barbaric, wrong-sided brute. That skill goes far beyond this website, that skill wins elections.

Perfect. Actually I heard something about women and the IDF, that mixing men and women together would result in romance. When people are in combat romance can influence decisions and cause practical problems. People will overvalue the lives of their romantic interest and go bananas if he/she gets shot. I heard that this problem was a factor in a decision to remove women from combat roles, or something. Haven't fact checked what I heard.
I just saw this. It is a complete lie, LOL.
Try to fight a Mossad female agent or IDF female soldier. That is one of the single least sexist countries to female operatives, they are obligated to serve in full as much as the men do.
It is not at all ANY active sexism that is why more males than females remain in the IDF full-time post-conscripted time. It's because it is indeed a masculine job. That is not sexist to say. Some women are masculine and love such a line of work, that is fantastic and Israel doesn't discriminate against them at all.
Israel was the pinnacle of Feminism in the military before any other nation properly embraced it. From the birth of Israel, it was declared that women will serve in the military just as any man would.

The reason you get vaccinated is actually to save yourself mainly, not others, you can still spread it. There's many misconceptions about it. I'm not going to simply take a dig at the Right Wing, even though I am left-wing.
There's currently 4-5 internationally sold vaccines. Originally it was just going to be Pfizer vs AstraZeneca but Moderna and now J&J are all claiming to be the superior worldwide vaccine option (there's a fifth one I've forgotten and of course there are the national-only one such as what Russia and China are using).
If your job and roommates are not demanding you to get vaccinated in an overt, pressured manner, it is wiser (if you're very isolated and not in the high-risk health categories) to see which company's vaccine is best.
Over time if one or two have proven to have been much more effective or less severe in side effects (which may occur later on, not necessarily immediately but rather once your body reacts to the new mutated coronavirus, who knows) then take those vaccines.
In most nations, you can't even pick which vaccine you get at the moment. It's a whatever-is-available mentality and most are forcing even the rich to apply through the public healthcare system.
In the next few months this will alter and shift. Eventually you'll get to either choose which one or your nation will have found solid reasons for selecting the one it settles for as the public-provided vaccine on the healthcare system/plan available to the average citizen.
There are very smart reasons to sit and wait. This has got fuck all to do with wings of politics.

The way they're spelling the names is the biggest factor in determining this. If they are Indian, they are from a very specific Muslim-heavy caste (caste system isn't used anymore but the groups still exist, ethnically within India).
They could be a group of Syrian refugees also, however the family name Rahman isn't common there at all.

Towards the later stages in seasons, everyone has realised broken decks via brutal combos that Pros/high-rankers have discovered (you can mimic decks of the highest on the leaderboards via a 'download deck' system in place).
These decks usually are difficult to pull off but sometimes it's a simpler concept and many make the ending to seasons unenjoyable to grind. I recommend sticking to the normal, unranked games and fun formats towards the ending of a season (especially if you're losing ranking due to being vs the broken decks more often). Earlier on in seasons to the middle is where it's most fun to grind it out.

One of the best games out rn that is available on almost all OS (works on Linux via WINE or equivalent 'run free Windows apps on Linux' type of software
is...
Legends of Runeterra. At first it appears to be based on luck, do not let this delude you. I play poker and other such games, I know how to interpret luck vs skill in a game; this game involves ~85% skill and ~15% luck. The skill is everything combined; how to build a deck, how to use the deck, how to predict and bait the enemy into misplaying their spells and/or units.
There's levels to this shit, spells that can and can't be used in reaction to others due to spell-type and such interactions. It is fascinating and extremely high skillcap.
In the earlier seasons, it was disgusting how OP some broken decks were but they have genuinely balanced it over time in my opinion. It's also genuinely free-to-play. You can garner the rewards required to unlock superior decks within 1-2 weeks of solid gameplay. I would say if you dedicate your free time to this game that in 3 weeks you will easily have enough rewards to pivot around each other and experiment with in 2-3 entirely different branches. Do not buy cards impulsively, think a little. Cheaper cards will come free in rewards much more often so save green essence for extreme scenarios where you want to push past your wild card max to unlock something.
Avoid going on expeditions and the lab+gauntlet at first. Stick to the main game mode and mix it up with vs AI and vs players. Be sure to do 'challenges' to grasp mechanics of most deck types.

The Judeo-Christian god is male, the abrahamic God is consistently seen as masculine by the vast majority of believers.
