The following debate: http://www.Debate.org...
My opponent and I are tied (as of the posting of this round) And due to the fact that he not only forfeited one but two rounds, never refuted a single argument, Never gave the courtsey to comment, or anything of the sort. Their is no reason he should have the amount of votes he currently has. Thank you.
1. beastboy838 should have voted for himself. By voting for himself, he would be making it slightly more likely that he would win or tie that debate rather than lose. 2. I should have voted for beastboy838. I have, and I should have, since it gives me a better chance to win this debate due to having an extra contention. 3. First two vote categories. Those who agreed with beastboy838 before or after the debate should have voted for him in those categories if they wished to be honest. |

Their is a difference between being winning and being right, as so many debates on this website can tell us. This is also why I am not talking about me winning rather the morality of the votes (use of ought).
1. there are multiple opponents, not addressed this. We are debating on the morality of the decisions and because they have not conformed to the conduct of rightness, making the fair and right decision. he should have received no votes. 2. Look to intro Extend all points from PRO
My opponent has not argued against my #3 point. While votes in the first two categories are not about who wins, they are still votes, and thus I have negated the resolution. My opponent has given no moral standard to base his claims on, and he has not defined ought in any specific sense. By some moral systems, it is moral to act selfishly and immoral to act unselfishly. Even ignoring #3, my opponent has failed to show that either beastboy838 or myself ought not have voted for beastboy838. |

The problem is that debates that have a forfeit aren't shown on the front page when they end, so you're unlikely to get many people reading the debate and voting. He has 7 points probably because he voted for himself in all categories, which is 7 points total.
What about this debate? I'm not going to start another to debate but please help me out here read and give feedback.

Neither participant had particularly bad conduct or used any scholarly sources to back up claims.
PRO had several spelling and grammar mistakes, which is significant for the length of the debate.
PRO failed to show why no one should have voted for his opponent on the "who did you agree with before the debate" and "who did you agree with after the debate" categories, even by his implied standard of honesty. That was enough to negate the resolution.
