It clearly states in the description that once someone violates the rule, they lose and the rules no longer apply. I made sure of that when you held the same technicality against me earlier.

I wouldn't want you to but there's no rule I can implement to prevent that, and it would at least prove you read the description. At least the character rule is something.

It won't lower my ELO because mine is lower than his right now.

I really think you're looking for excuses to vote against me.

Which is allowed if you cite sources. Word count includes block quotes:

Those quotes are part of my argument. They're also pretty relevant to the debate.

Sir.Lancelot continues to berate me for not voiding the rule. Does it sound like he cares about the spirit of the debate or about winning?

I believe you did avoid voting for me just a few days ago based on that very rule. Also, I think lazy people will avoid the debate instead of making their arguments longer.

No one's stopping you from posting it. You might even win if the voters all hate the rule.

I hardly think the rule is absurd or swindles anyone out of a productive debate. If anything, it filters out people who would only post low-effort arguments, which was a big issue on debate.org before I implemented the rule. There are similar rules against forfeiting for the same reason.

I haven't read this one, but did you say you wanted to vote on this? Voting period is almost over.

I use the same opening repeatedly, so I won't be surprised if Sir.Lancelot has his written already.

You have a lot of confidence for a reply guy who can't defend his arguments.

@TWS1405_2

False. I am less intelligent for having read your arguments. Perhaps you can present your opinions in a formal debate, where I can correct them.

@TWS1405_2

Just a moment ago you defended your position with a legal statute. So does the reply you linked to. So it appears I did tell you something you didn't know.

Abortion was around long before the US legal system. Besides, immoral things are legal all the time.

@TWS1405_2

This debate isn't over legality, so I'm not sure why you're citing a legal statute. But I'd be happy to debate you on the same topic once this one is over.

I will warn you that most of my opponents are left speechless by opening argument.

@BennyEmerald

I've seen a lot of variations proposed which is why I was very specific in the description. What you're describing is technically still capitalism. The term democratic socialism is thrown around quite a bit, but it's actually what I described.

This is really just a semantic argument. A human life begins at conception, but cells can be considered alive.

I'm fine leaving this up to whiteflame, but I'll be annoyed if my first loss is on a technicality.

Once someone loses, the debate is over. You can't lose a debate that someone else has already lost.
