You are wrong to think public debates are here to reach an understanding between the debaters. Whining that nobody submits to you in a fight is ridiculous: fight, show us your genius, and don't come crying to mommy if we fight back.

Your goal is to convince the audience, not your opponents.



nobody's actually paying attention, so your goal is really to fight with people online because that's what it takes to get your blood pumping.
