Now, explain to me why anyone would downvote my previous argument.

Show yourself...

I get it. That's the past. To set the record straight I will say the following and leave this debate unless I receive a response from you. I am starting to see this is not the kind of debate I came here for.

-You flipped the tables. I had no allies. This entire site was against me or didn't care. I don't think anyone stood up for me.

-There is no way you have proof, but I don't want to argue.

-I first called for a treaty on your debate concerning me. You made the lizard comment. Remember? Oh well...

-Joe is a nuisance. Nothing more. He is bothersome and immature. I can deal with it, others can't. End of story.

Ok. I am finished here. I have said what I felt necessary.

If you were going to ignore him, why would you create this debate?

That's what makes me think that.

"It wouldn't be considered "just having fun" by eBay if someone bid on every auction, because it screws up the actual auction. This is no different."

Wait, do you mean to tell me that placing a bid on an auction is the same as Joe leaving comedic arguments? I don't see how. If you will pay for these auctions, Ebay gets the money, the seller gets the money, and you get a product. If you lose the auction you helped Ebay get more money, (they get a percentage of the sale) the seller make more money, and the buyer still gets the product. If you're saying this is like Joe bidding on an auction, winning, then not paying then that is in no way related to this debate. It frustrates the seller (other debaters) and the Ebay officials, (moderators?) but it causes no one any real harm...I don't get it...

"What you fail to take into account is that this site is centered around debate." Well then, why not throw out all those who ever make an off topic remark???

"to the degree that determining how the community feels about a particular debate/argument is rendered practically impossible."

Show me ONE debate where this has happened, and I'll talk then...

"If you just want to joke around and talk about current events & stuff, join a forum."

Yea, but then he would get kicked off the forum for not focusing enough on the current events...

This is the internet people. You can't act as if this bothers you! Please, this is becoming quite ridiculous. If you want a completely serious debate, find some completely serious people...Someone explain to me the point here....

If I'm counting right, there's two..

haha...Poor Joe

Naa...I have found that in my area of the United States most sales last through Saturday, but the crowds don't!!!!

I can't say that I wanted to push through the crowds, since there were 8 wounds, 1 seizure, and someone fainted at our local shopping center!
