2

<p>which college</p>

3

<p>The College, or Wharton</p>

4

<p>were you toc finalist this year?</p>

5

<p>what debate event were you state champion in...? what's your name/</p>

6

<p>Yes I was PFD state champ last year and TOC finalist this year</p>

7

<p>oh...public forum.................................................................. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...</p>

8

<p>does public forum really have a toc? hehe</p>

9

<p>Yes. Yes we do actually. And PFD also fielded the most competitors at nationals. I think the "hmmmmmm" to be completely baseless. Simply because PFD is an incipient event does not make it automatically inferior to LD and Policy. I would contend, and I think the folks at the NFL would concur with me, that PFD is debate as it's supposed to be--bereft of jargon and technicalaties which are occlusions to an edifying discourse on an issue. If you want to talk more with me about it, I think VBD to be a better venue than this forum.</p>

10

<p>a wee bit defensive are we</p>

11

<p>no, just used to bieng castigated by LDers with massive superiority complexes.</p>

12

<p>im guessing that you go 2 troy
am i right?</p>

13

<p>I do not actually. Moreover, I'd like to slavage some small vestige of anonymity in this forum, so I'd prefer not to divulge my school. But if your really curious go see who finaled at the PFD TOC or check which High School is "#82 on Newsweek's top thousand American High Schools"</p>

14

<p>way to steal my xoxo username</p>

15

<p>Whats slavage?</p>

16

<p>You know it's salvage. People make mistakes.</p>

17

<p>hmmmmmmmm.</p>

18

<p>haha this thread just reaffirmed my view about debaters. Carry on....<em>take out popcorn</em></p>

19

<p>mahras? Are you an IEer or something :p</p>

20

<p>Let's dispense with the hmmms caths2005. If you have a valid argument apropos to PFD I'd like to hear it.</p>
