Another issue I wanted to bring up was copy-pasting other people's arguments. Just like in school if you plagiarize someone, you get docked points or simply disqualified...should the same apply here? For instance, say there was a previous debate (not in a tournament setting, just a general thread here or another forum) where Fred argued that South Kaioshin was at least equal to SSj3 Goku. Fast forward to a tournament like this and Bruce is arguing the same thing. Bruce literally copy-pastes Fred's exact words without rephrasing or making it his own somehow. Should Bruce be penalized for that action? Now, I know this is an anime and not an academic debate, but I think a certain level of courtesy should be maintained. I know when I summon some great points in a debate or make a huge post, and then see someone else copy-pasting it without giving me any credit, it's a bit, what's the word? I dunno, but you guys get my point, right? I'm probably making too much of a big deal out of this. I'm just thinking. Don't take it too seriously. |

You bring up a good point Pyro. I don't see the problem with using them as your own personal reference for your argument, but copying and pasting is plagiarism, and probably shouldn't count for points in favor of your argument, regardless if you're right or not. A debate tournament isn't so much about proving the other person wrong, a debate tournament is an exploitation of your argumentative skills by using source material. Copying and Pasting does not require any skill, and indeed shouldn't count in this respect. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Jan 1 2014, 01:47 AM.

Wow did not see that coming. I thought we were in for a verbal beating by the judges. The next topic is hard for me, as I actually wanted to watch pros tackle it. I'm still not 100% on my stance for the topic which is : Pre Majin Vegeta vs Kid Gohan If you judges are ready with the results for the other thread then post it on their thread. If not take your time |
