After 3 votes (1 tie) — 2 points ahead

I repeat:


1st round begins the arguments, until 3rd round. R4 only exists in the event of a forfeited/waived round

I was really looking forward to all four rounds of this debate, much like Taco Bell makes you look forward to all four rounds on the shitter, but Mag1c sadly forfeited his first round in the same way that going to Taco Bell forfeits your dignity.


Taco Bell: It's not a place you go to; it's a place you end up at.

I thought I had already posted my second round, but apparently I forgot to, much like how authentic Mexican food makes you forget that you ever liked Taco Bell.

This would-be voter wonders what some members here think is legitimate debate. This is not an example of debate; it is an exercise in choking a rooster in the middle of its morning crowing; I learned about as much about the challenged debate, discovering little interest in it by either opponent, given the total lack of argument for his Topic by the instigator [Pro] and the argument of sideline commentary only by the Contender [Con] rather than true argument to satisfy his contrary BoP. I therefore have to conclude that neither opponent met the requirement if debate to offer argument to prove their relative BoP to a voter's satisfaction.

Were I voting, my only option is to render a tie, but neither opponent deserves the half-vote each would receive. I suggest this debate be ignored entirely, and let it go with no award to either side.
Pro offered nothing whatsoever beyond the challenge other than non-argument comments, and effectively forfeited all rounds [non-debate commentary cannot count as an argument.
Con offered nothing but scat-humor, which is not an argument either for Taco Bell, and not argument for real Mexican food. Not all Taco Bell faire drives one to the outhouse, and some real Mexican food may do so, as well, for some. And the final round request for a vote killed that choking rooster. A point for that commentary? That is a poor argument not worthy of point value.

Ironically what first appeared to be a very interesting debate to read through turned into a double forfeit. Pro forfeited all rounds and conceded to forfeiting all rounds at the end of the debate when they actually posted. Con was present for all rounds, but did not present any arguments arguing for their side and instead just resorted to jokes. A simple statistic of Taco Bell locations vs authentic restaurant locations, or any source suggesting that non-taco bell restaurants fare better financially or critically than authentic restaurants, or ANY kind of source/statistic would have won the debate for their side.

Unfortunately they did not make their case, so I have to award a tie vote, since neither side provided a sufficient argument at any point
