"Eh, you can't help if we are using different definitions. In my second reply I tried to address that. The "anarcho" in quotes when having to do with pro-capitalist is quite appropriate." - Divided By Zer0

"Yeah it happens. Listen I'd debate gladly on reddit but it's just not built for it. Debates have a certain form with which they keep the argument sane, especially as they are made to be looked and judged by the public. I still think the debate.org was the best option, check their voting system for example, it's very well thought out. In any case, for long replies you should still always write them in a text editor and save often. Your power might go out or your browser might crash. I've had everything happen and it was always as much a frustration as you had." - Divided By Zer0

"In fact, inequality is not a fact of nature. There have been egalitarian societies in the past, especially in pre-civilization times. The only thing that is part of human nature is our ability to reason and through that we can figure out ways to achieve egalitarianism. I remain unconvinced that voluntary exchange - of value, for value, necessarily widens some inequality gap. You do not accept that exchanges between unequal individuals will end up benefiting the most powerful? The difference, however, is that the rest of society are not my friends, which is exactly what I was aiming at when I wrote in the introductory paragraphy, "not all resources will at all times be immediately available, especially within our own community, and that sometimes our desires conflict with others’. " You do not have to be, you simply have to enforce the same rules that work within a friendship to the social life as well. You say that sometimes desires will conflict. So they will, but again, this is not..." - Divided By Zer0
@AtheistBlogger I know, this is what I told him. But too late now. Lets hope he learns by his mistakes
Hmm, it seems my debate opponent gave up in frustration after the debate site ate his long reply. Oh well

"You probably won't like this but learn to save. If you're writing something big on a website form, no matter the place, debate site or reddit, always **always** copy the text on your clipboard and preferably paste it in notebook and save it as a temp file before you post or even at regular intervals if it's too big. I've learned this the hard way many many times, which is why I feel your pain. Think about this again once you calm down." - Divided By Zer0

"I am not saying that you are representing anyone particular, but you did label yourself as an AnCap before and I thought it would be a useful thing to grab people's attention for the debate. I didn't do it maliciously. Btw, I've posted an answer. Don't expect me to tell you when a new argument is there, I expect you to monitor the page yourself." - Divided By Zer0

"What point is there in this. The whole idea is to have a debate in public, not another private argument that will end in a flame war. If you can't limit your argumentation, then you're not making a good argument. I've been trying really hard to make this debate work and you've been giving me nothing but hassle so I'm going to continue with the Convinceme debate location. My answer will be forthcoming." - Divided By Zer0

"Indeed. You do seem to ramble. I was actually going to suggest limiting to 3000 chars but from this comment I gather that you wouldn't go with that. Unfortunately that's one of the things about debates. You need to be succint and concise. You can't throw walls of text on your opponents as you did in the past. In a normal debate you would have a time limit for example. I'll leave it at the max of 8k chars but that's as much as I can do. If you're not fine with this limit, let me know and I'll avoid recreating the debate on debate.org." - Divided By Zer0

"Ok, if you want we can move the debate to [debate.org](http://www.debate.org/) which has a better system imho. If we do that, it will be difficult for people we invite (to see the debate) to vote however as that requires authentication via SMS, something which is not available to all countries. However they've got more member and they seem more professional so we might get better opinions and judgement. If you want to move there, create and account and tell me the username." - Divided By Zer0
