This is a video debate only. No semantics. Resolution is in title. First round is for acceptance. All seven points go to who makes the best arguement. Video can't be over ten minutes.

I did this speech impromptu, so any speech slurs you notice, that's why!

Pro

I thank my opponent for this debate. However, as I said before, this is a debate about if he should leave or stay, not about a ban. I said this in round one and round two. I ask my opponent to make a video responding to my points, and voters may choose for themselves.

Wow... Didn't expect a forfeit.

*****CONCLUSION*****

Anyways, whether it is banned or him leaving, my points still apply to both. My opponent, whether out of laziness, or knowing that my points were more correct than his, has simply failed to respond.

It is strongly abusive of my opponent to say I have not responded to his points, as I thoroughly touched on each one. He strictly said the use of "semantics" should be voted against. Well, saying that my points are not valid over the difference of one word, when they still obviously apply, is a strong use of semantics.

My opponent has forfeited, and violated his own rule. Thus you can extend each argument that I have made.

I thank the viewers for watching.

VOTE CON!

"Pro stated all 7 points go to whoever's ARGUMENTS are the best. As a rule. I usually would vote TUF for conduct point but TUF violated the rule of having videos under 10 minutes which results in a tie. Koopin's argument was that WD's mental health was hurting him if he continued at DDO whille TUF's argument was he had the RIGHT to stay at DDO. Resolution arguments. It wasn't about a ban but instead about if he should or should not. If TUF did another video, my 7 points would go to him. NOT A VB!"

How does a vote on conduct transition into that of arguments, VK?

<em>What really sold me was the turn on site degradation. TUF points out that many people who trolled Dave are actually degrading the site more than Dave is because, while they resorted to insults, Dave was very respectful throughout the entire process and did not resort to any personal attacks. Dave is well within his rights to report offenses that he deems to be corrosive.</em>

This.

People did not listen to the entire debate; most of TUF's points discussed why WriterDave should not leave DDO voluntarily; only a few discussed why he should not be banned (and since being banned would make WriterDave leave, and Koopin did not specify that this debate was only about voluntary action, Koopin has no grounds to complain about these points since they fall within the grounds of the resolution. I will ignore them, however, because Koopin loses anyways.) TUF used the rights analysis (he has a right to do as he pleases even if it harms him because he is only harming himself, which was proven through the analysis of the TOS) as well as the argument that he is entitled to express his opinions to liquidate Koopin's case. What really sold me was the turn on site degradation. TUF points out that many people who trolled Dave are actually degrading the site more than Dave is because, while they resorted to insults, Dave was very respectful throughout the entire process and did not resort to any personal attacks. Dave is well within his rights to report offenses that he deems to be corrosive. This was a clear win for TUF. I am giving conduct to TUF for the forfeit.

Reasons for voting decision: Counter CP (wow never thought I'd say that). TUF's points apply both ways, so it frankly doesn't matter with the wording of the resolution. (Edit: Correction, MOST of his arguments. There were a few that wouldn't apply, however Most of them still would)

Reasons for voting decision: Counter-counter. Pro's claim that Con didn't follow through with the resolution is laughable at best because all of Con's points still apply to the resolution given by Pro. Pro forfeits, Con wins.
