*facepalm* 🤦‍♂️

well, backpedaling is a very big mistake in debating

^^^

the general idea I'm trying to convey is that insulting your opponent isn't good for debate

Because this isn’t a backpedal

Lol

Mainly because it not only misconstructs your main point, but it also confuses the other debater(s)

yes I put down the wrong word

Yea you did (:

english isnt my first language, I get connotation vs detonation confused

saying you backpedaled isn't an insult

Not my pig not my farm

okay i'll go down on that one

but calling me slimy and a worse debater? what does that add kylo

That’s fine

I didn’t call you slimy until you started trying to talk about me to other people without mentioning me

well I personally don't condone that type of behavior.

Don’t talk about me behind my back

That’s slimy

it's in a public chat

and I said that in a response to you calling me and sid worse debaters than you

without a mention from you

I never used “I’m better “ or “you’re worse”

I said “ you’re bad if you’re ...” and made different points

you say sid is bad at debating then you say im at sid's level

You’re his level at debating isn’t an insult

that means I'm a bad debater

You’re great at debating tomatoes for instance

But you debate specifics

Why is that a “worse debater”

because you said "you're not that good at debating" and even when sid said he's been doing it for a long time, you said nothing to rescind that or provide constructive critcism

And my comment you’re not That good was to his “Ive been debating for ages” like bruh you’re not Ben Shapiro

maybe it wouldn't be an insult if you helped him improve if you thought he was bad at debating but you just compared him to someone else

Don’t remove from context

no that context is still there

Nah

You’re removing it from the context

Plus

You say why don’t I say something constructive
