    You’re already in the thick of it but this guy is peak debatelord, he is really not worth engaging unless you feel like counting arguments like they’re points in a game.

      Having actual, valid points instead of just vibes and twitter quips is debatelord?

        A debatelord is someone who treats every conversation as if it’s debate club, and says shit like:

        You can make this argument once you respond to >80% of my points that were deflected.

        There’s nothing more to discuss, good sir. My arguments remain unchallenged.

      Yeah you’re right. I saw one of their bulleted posts that seemed genuine at first glance but the more we talk the more they expose their focus on “winning” rather than being realistic or truthful.
