Whistleblower needs urgent help
-->
@Terran_01
Okay man, I think I did the opposite of gaslighting, I actually helped others understand what I got out of the first 20-30 mins of your video.

If you see that as me being some evil and corrupt agent, so be it. I don't know why exactly you are so angry at me. I am not responsible for what happened to you, nor do I know the reality of the situation even if you tell me it, since either side could twist the truth.

Whistleblower needs urgent help
-->
@Sidewalker
I gather this:

  • He was involved with the online hacker anarchist group Anonymous, at least to his own understanding he himself founded it.
  • The g9vernment did not have a true crime to pin on him so he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and another disorder possibly and forced into  asylum type care against his will.
  • During this detainment as he would call it, he was tortured, drugged etc and it has led to serious internal damage if organs, not just damage as in scars or such.
  • Since then, any time he tries to ask his doctor to put him on what I presume is the Australian or NZ national healthcare list for public funded care for his issues, they forced him to get a surgery that can then definitively diagnose his internal damage, whereas he wants the meds as he is sure what he needs already.
  • Somehow the exact surgeon operating on him was involved in the interrogations and the waiting list he is put on is the least urgent, most dragged out one as it is listed as elective and not urgent.
He jumps between saying he wants other whistleblowers to come forward and needs to know what protections they get and say8ng he wants medication qithout being labelled as someone with a disability.

It seems the root issue is that they refuse to trust him on what is wrong with him as he refuses to take the schizophrenia medication and declines to be labelled as disabled officially, though he actually is labelled as such and has received benefits/welfare due to it.

There is something way deeper and bigger being constantly hinted at and you do need to out the hours in to uncover it perhaps. I stopped as I gave it a fair hearing and got bored.

The way i see it, you have 2 options Barney, abuse mod privileges to tweak the reasoning via mod-editing or drop the battle and go 'fuck I was an absolute idiot in that justification for banning you and how I reasoned in your protest threads.'

I give you a chance to save face, drop the sword and make a better topic to debate. Don't use characters being too large as an excuse. Our showdown should be high-character so both can fight back extravagently to what the other brings.

Of course, there's option 3, run away like David and be a coward. Is that the type of man you are?

'I wAsN't TrYiNg My BeSt!'

Literally a 6 year old.

I have a positive 1-0 record against you, RationalMadman, due to beating you on DDO. You can multi-post and make excuses all you want, but it's a fact that I beat you as a "permanent spectator".

I don't consider Oromagi or Novice to be top tier or second rank debaters, although I haven't looked too hard into their records. Novice seems to be getting much better, though, so he's probably already surpassed you.

I'm sure they'd prefer their debates accepted by other FFers  for sure. Definitely. (sarcasm)

I will not be sharing this video.

Your only actual accusation seems to be that you were tortured and interrogated.

You then say they put you on a long waiting list and that apparently the exact surgeon who is to operate on you is the one that tortured you, yet you call it people and not person.

I am not sharing a nearly 5 hours long phone call record and ranting video with some people I know, they will think I am wasting my life to listen to all of it and at best ask me for a summary, which I cannot give as I only listened to some minutes.

I am not saying there is no conspiracy, I am saying this approach is not how to get enough people behind your cause.

Lmao. 1 is nothing. That can be down to topic imbalance and many factors and I was much weaker back then, had less depth to the cunning in what I would debate, it was not tailored to my opponent.

It is 25k chars, not 5k. I want to murk you in 1080p HD, you feel me? More detail allows more rebuttals and clashing.

I warn you that if you try to gaslight and make it 'RM made these posts, instead of RM did what we said he did and earned the ban for the majority of the reasons and posts, you will be torn to shreds as that is not the lie that RM ever accused you of, you fucking liar.

You can weasel out due to the characters or take it, choice is yours.

Explaining the “Trump supporter” mind

@Sidewalker
There seems to be dissonance between your original attack and later parts of your rant.

You end up conceding that right wingers who support Trump tend to be very rational about maintaining territory and conserving resources. Earlier you implied they lacked depth while the emotional sharers of the left have more.

Both sides have simpler minded people among them, one likes to share through compulsion (left wing) while the other likes to minimise sharing for the times they believe are worth it (right wing). Both mentalities can result in simpleminded outlooks.

No it is not, your definition is biased and flawed.

A Republic guarantees its citizens rights, that isallghere is to define it. This is why North Korea is known as DPRK. Republic is basically any country that guarantees rights in a formal constitution of sorts.

The alternative is the sort of intermingled constitution woven within laws such as seen in UK, Saudi, Kenya etc.

Ironically, Ireland and France (countries beside UK, physically) were pioneers of what a Republic is. China and Iran are republics, ironic as it may seem.

Also, out of my 38 tied debates, around 35ish are solid wins that my haters avoided voting and that's the truth.

3 maybe could have gone the other way and just didn't get votes.

For instance, the one vs theweakeredge is an exception, not the rule.

I'm juggling 14 debates at once right now.

Try it. I'd like to see you break.

Then again, I could be Novice and make them all essentially against Mall on simple topics I rig in my favour. Instead, I gave Mall topics he could win if he tried properly, I allow everyone a chance to defeat me because I am a warrior and am ready to need to forfeit because i'm busy and tired, I'm ready to push my limits to the max here if need be and not in the sense of overinvesting in one debate that doesn't necessarily mean everything to me.

I don't need to give my maximum in every debate to enjoy the debating. You want me at my max? Bring it out. Make a topic I feel strongly about and I'll dethrone you like I did Misterchris rn if the votes stay in my favour on his debate with me.

 He's losing against mediocre debaters on the regular. I'd say he's like a 65th percentile debater.
Try the same topics on the same side, with as many going on at once as me.

We'll see what you handle.

You know who is all talk? Ms 'I used to be a legend on DDO and can't admit who I am here because I was a racist slavery supporter on my other accounts'.

Car dealerships are not beneficial to the consumer
-->
@Lair77
  • "They can provide knowledge and help you compare cars".   You can find this information online, and get more detailed information (stats, features, reviews, etc).  And there's less potential conflict of interest when learning from an independent party compared to learning from people who are trying to sell you their product.
Newsflash, not everybody wants to do that... So do they hire a 'car expert for hire'? Is there such a thing?

  • Dishonesty and ethical concerns.  Pedophiles, murderers and rapists are the only thing preventing car salesmen from being on the lowest-rung of the moral totem pole.
What on Earth are you even suggesting or talking about?

Stop being so vulgar and talking in hyperbole for no reason whatsoever. It's not a deceitful living unless miles-travelled etc are tweaked on their second-hand cars.

@Lair77
  • "They inspect their cars, unlike private sellers".  But there's a chance their inspection wasn't thorough enough.  You always assume that risk.  Either way, you get an independent mechanic to look at the car.   Them inspecting it doesn't change your decision whatsoever.
This is where you went completely wrong. This is actually the key to why dealerships are indeed beneficial, they shoulder all blame for faults and problems with your car as far as the contract lays out and have reputations to uphold and risk if they give you a shit one even if they screw you over, you could go to the media about it etc.

A manufacturer may implicitly be assumed to want to give good quality cars but they also may be very willing to go 'let's risk it'. Manufacturers don't tend to have a lot of reviews and the reputation they 'uphold' is maybe a counterargument but ultimately the point is that a car dealership rigorously tests their products even often letting you test-drive.

He is not far better than me at my peak on a topic I truly know I am correct and justified on and that makes me feel passion.

People see me at most at 50% tryhard, maybe 60%, on a huge majority of my debates and that is fine, this is more mental workout for me than a serious passion but when I want to, I can seriously debate. I just do not carry myself that way generally as I found I get on better in life by going quiet and picking battles wiser rather than arguing every time to full passion levels.

Instead of fronting with Ilikepie5, why not step up and actually debate me about the ban's reasoning, as you wrote it and have the resolution that is was based on a majority of lies and fallacious basis considering amnesty and context?

You can set the resolution.

I will fucking body you, I am sick of people saying I am mediocre, they have not seen me debate something I care about truly overall and against an opponent I really want to defeat on said topic.


I am very emotionally driven at my core. I need to burn to win and then I will bring all hell upon my opponent, not wasting a single character typed.

Barney did defeat top tier debaters on DDO, including oromagi, contrary to what Avery says.

He beat Novice_II here.

He is the type to think through every single way that the debate can go before typing a single word. He also has an uncanny ability to make lies sound fair and kustified, hence why he was able to ban me on pure lies and the website had his back and not mine, until later (people vote based on initial interpretation generally, translating to success in the arena).

Where this comes to be a problem for him is that he then cowers out of debates where he has not noticed a way to clamp down the chess-like path to a win he sees in the ones he engages in.
