9/4/2013 9:57:16 AM Posted: 7 years ago The Votebombs obvious to people who read the debate, but not obvious enough to be reported.
http://www.debate.org...' The person voting gave the guy S&G because I wrote Plagerized and not Plagiarized. That was the only misspell he had against me. He give the guy conduct because I accidentally called the person "he" instead of "she"... Even though the guy literally FF'd R2. and Plagiarized his whole R3 argument. But worst, is that he gave the guy Convincing Arguments even though all 221 words from the guys argument was plagiarized. I brought up how it was plagiarized, too. That, and the guy dropped everyone one of my arguments. When you look at the debate, and look at the vote, you KNOW it's a votebomb. My Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com... |

9/4/2013 12:04:23 PM Posted: 7 years ago You're right - it was a protest vote against your rude, sexist, and aggressive manner towards a new member on this site. As far as I know, there are about three real women here apart from me. I'd like there to be more. So yes, it would be nice when a woman starts, if we could avoid bullying her at least for her first debate.
I disliked your behavior in several ways: 1. You referred to her as "he" and when I pointed it out you continued to do so. 2. You aggressively accused her of plagiarism even though she provided a source and her actually did not in any way try to pretend those words were hers. 3. You said her entire argument was plagiarized and this was simply untrue. 4. It was her first debate, she was unsure of the method. You could have won on merit without these aggressive, underhanded tricks. So why didn't you? |

I hate to point this out, but didn't you vote down someone citing plagiarism simply because they forgot to add quotation marks when citing a source? That sounds very similar to what occurred here, yet your position is a 180, and it's pretty obvious you are siding with the opposing side here because she's a stated woman. I'd have to conclude sexism here. http://www.debate.org... The original debate has since been removed for some reason. Regardless, this one still remains as a testament to the voting that occurred in it due to alleged plagiarism. Personally, I'd probably just dock S&G due to readability (when is she quoting the source? When isn't she?)...she still attributes her arguments to the proper source. I would have done the same to Subutai in the other debate too, had I bothered to read it. At 8/9/2013 9:41:24 AM, wrichcirw wrote: If you are civil with me, I will be civil to you.

1. Instead of "I know" I should have said "I believe you". 2. Lolwut? 3. Source? Or do you make up the rules as you go along? |

9/4/2013 12:27:48 PM Posted: 7 years ago I mean, I'm going to say this again, as I'm sure I've said this in private numerous times:
This is a debating website. Debating is an adversarial venue. Women typically/traditionally have had little exposure to formal adversarial venues like sports, and warfare. I'm not saying that women are not capable of it...far from it, I think women are eminently capable, and IMHO you're a great example. However, statistically speaking (since we are indeed going into numerical accountability here), there are more than likely going to be fewer women than men here, and IMHO a lot of that deals with the adversarial nature of debating.

This is turn I do not see any ad hominem attack. DK saw that his opponent had a male picture as an avatar, and concluded his opponent was male. The rationale I am talking about is your "protest vote against [DK's] rude, sexist, and aggressive manner," which I'm fairly certain you know where I stand when it comes to you making sexist charges at this point. IMHO you've lost a lot of credibility in my eyes on this particular subject. This case is IMHO an absolutely clear-cut case where you are taking this over and beyond any rational or reasonable perspective. I may be mistaken. I could be wrong. I'd like to be because typically I don't find a lot of reason to be terse with you, although we've certainly had our fair share of bickering. However, I simply do not see what you are seeing here regarding any sexism, and thus must conclude that if there is any sexism here, it is displayed by you and not by DK.

9/4/2013 12:41:11 PM Posted: 7 years ago @wrichcirw. Subutai is an experienced debater who should know better. He was also seemingly intentionally passing off others' words as his own. I voted sources against him and only mentioned plagiarism when he came after me in the comments claiming that it was completely appropriate to do what he did.
I don't think Mori is guilty of plagiarism here. The accusation in the debate is a cheap trick. Look for yourself. |

We're not writing term papers or PhD dissertations here. I read this entire debate and just put down my RFD. I see almost the exact same issues here as I did in the subutai debate.

9/4/2013 12:57:18 PM Posted: 7 years ago wrichcirw: yes, I'm happy to believe that Subutai's plagiarism was unintended. It was not in italics, though. He didn't in any way separate the copied text from his own words, if any of the words were his. Mori made a clear separation. That's the difference.

I still remember the TPP debate Raisor had with Larz. I have no idea how much of the nearly 100 pages of sources that were relevant to your RFD you read, but the accusation you lobbed against Raisor was something that 99.9% of DDO debaters would not pass, with the 0.1% consisting of you, and only you. I mean, you were correct in your charge, so no one could say it was a votebomb. Still, you cited how a source within a source was incorrectly cited by the source Raisor used, and then decided to destroy Raisor's credibility based upon this oversight. I remember being impressed you looked into the sources with that much detail, but I know that I'd never pass that standard myself, and I tend to highly prize quality sources in a debate.

My point is - you're allowed to have personal preferences. It's OK for me to restrict my sexual activity to one man, and it's ok for me to have an interest in women debaters here when there's so few of them. I do vote and have opinions on debates where there are only men too. And recently I defended wrichcirw here from the bullying of another man. So I really don't see the problem. |

9/4/2013 1:25:23 PM Posted: 7 years ago sigh. After thinking about this some more, I'm now ambivalent to your complaint. I can see how if someone does point out a mistake, yet the other party repeatedly makes this mistake, how that could be annoying.
I'm willing to give DK the benefit of the doubt because it's quite reasonable to think that his opponent was a male given the avatar. I swear there is a wrinkle in my face for every single argument of this nature. :/ At 8/9/2013 9:41:24 AM, wrichcirw wrote: If you are civil with me, I will be civil to you.
