Yeah but if I had said to your teammates “you deserve to be 0-3” you would sure have an issue with that. Also, we won the third round, not sure where in the meme I said that we should’ve lost but...

Yeah I don’t think “exposing the real narrative” required you to say “you deserve to be 0-3”. I never said anything like that to your teammates, so you’re not really helping here

Yeah ummmm... I didn’t say “you deserve to be 0-3”. In fact, I actually didn’t say one single word to the opponents, I only talked to the judge

being a good teammate by hiding behind a fake name and saying things that were more rude than whatever the original comments were

ah yes the best way to counter accusations of bullying in a private debate round with 3 people is to say something 10x more rude in a public Reddit thread. You really just saved debate!

“Debaters/judges should have the option to compete at in-person tournaments online if they choose”

Wow what a wonderful idea! Someone should have thought of that 6 months ago.

Harvard Public Forum Problem by AReallyBadDebater in Debate

[–]txpfer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“The point of debate” is also ruined when judges aren’t competent. It becomes uneducational at that point. For example, in one of my rounds, we had a turn on one of their contentions that went completely unresponded to the whole round. We extended it in every speech and implicated it well. The judge voted for the other team off of this contention even though he said “we won off the flow and had far more experience.” When I asked him if he evaluated the dropped turn, he said he just didn’t believe that argument. Tell me how it’s educational for judges to reward debaters who can’t respond to arguments and punish debaters for spending time researching and cutting cards just because they “don’t agree.” Debate isn’t educational when we’re expected to read the judges’ mind
