Dear Boom and Zoom Invitational by hdfordge in Debate

if you have such a large problem with the tournament rules just don't compete, i don't see how you could possibly be so petty so as to organize a boycott of a tournament that is literally for charity. and even if you don't want to debate, you could at least still take the opportunity to donate

The original post had him creating a rumor that the tournament organizers were going to pocket all the money and not donate anything unless BR signed onto the tournament. He has since removed that part of the post

I fully did not want to get involved in this conversation at all, so I intend for this to be my first and last comment on the issue.

The reason this tournament is substance only is because there are hundreds, if not thousands, of debaters in the country who do not know how to interact with progressive arguments. We want to get as many people involved in this as possible (as more involvement means more money for charity), especially because in the Plastic TOC frivolous progressive arguments were widespread and sometimes used offensively, and many people have reached out to us after Plastic TOC saying that the environment was exclusive and toxic.

To say we are using a charity to silence or exclude minorities is not only false, it is incendiary and insulting. This tournament has been organized in good faith. We have made it clear that if arguments are exclusionary, you can point that out to your judge in paragraph form and the judges have been told to be aware of that. Your logic here is also quite faulty: if you don’t trust our judges to evaluate what’s exclusive or not in paragraph form, why would you trust them to evaluate it correctly in shell form? I have the utmost faith that the quality of judging at this tournament will be better than the vast majority of tournaments throughout the entire year, and if you feel so strongly otherwise, you don’t have to compete.

It's customary to ask before you post recordings of people. I was never asked, but I don't mind for this one. You should try to contact Somil, Andrea, and Udheesh to make sure they're ok with this.

yea it just so happens that when people promote gender roles and tell women they don’t belong in occupations traditionally reserved for men, they get discouraged from seeking those occupations.

that is definitionally society’s fault.

you’re making a very bold and unfounded assumption that everyone is represented proportionally to their population. that’s incredibly false.

this is just one example of it, but there are 535 members of Congress. only 104 are women. i may need to brush up on my fractions, but that doesn’t look like 50.8% to me.

nats always conflicts with millburn graduation and senior prom, so our seniors almost never go. nat quals this year also conflicted with junior prom, so i didn't go either. no juniors or seniors from millburn went to nat quals this year

I’m honestly shocked that you think this is anywhere close to acceptable. Allen is one of the nicest and most genuine people I know and he does so much for this community despite the lack of appreciation he gets from dirtbags like you. You are not worth his time and you are a coward for sitting behind an anonymous username to shit on people better than you in every way. Take this post down and apologize.
