GRUDGE MATCH VOTE: GoreGrinder Vs Colonel: US Sovereignty

Welcome to the vote pole for the FIRST ATS GRUDGE MATCH DEBATE!!!

Please review this debate thread

www.abovetopsecret.com...

and place your vote for who you believe best articulated and presented their debate in the most convincing fashion.

This was a very well played debate, and both participants put forth a lot of effort. I do apologize to all involved for the technical difficulty at the beginning, and thank you both for your patience in getting it up and running.

Just wanted to say thanks to DR, and to Colonel for stepping up to the debate. All though I had to argue for the side i wouldn't normally agree with, i very much enjoyed it. Hope to see more grudges taken care of like this in the future.

Just bumping the thread

By the way, voting will commence until 10PM CST, Sunday July 27, 2003. At that time, voting will be halted and the score considered final.

Tight vote! This is going to be a squeeker!

Why is it when I move up one, this guy moves up 2 EVERYTIME?

Colonel, Its called losing.

Colonel, noone is trying to pull an Al Gore on you. I u2ued you and told you may the best man win. Why can't you be mature about this, man? If people vote for me, they vote for me. Some people obviously agreed with you, thus your 10 points. This isn't rigged just because you're losing, dude.

Sure it isn't. if this is a favoritism match.

Ughh, could you grow up a little?

Would you get off my jock. I wasn't talkin to you anyway.

14-14 when I look at this, I haven't voted because I haven't read the whole debate yet, close call, wonder if this will be the first ever ATS draw and what happens then.

MA, please read the rest, vote, and tell me what you think.

First of all, to my knowledge at least, there is no ulterior motive to the vote. I set the pole up with no extra code to ensure someone wins

(I would point out that both parties have at one time or another been in the lead.)

I would also point out that the voting instructions specifically state:

place your vote for who you believe best articulated and presented their debate in the most convincing fashion.

In the event of a tie, the vote is remanded to admin for a tie breaker vote.

lol, its pretty funny how i've gotten one vote in the last hour and the good colonels had 4. something gives me the feeling some people aren't reading the debate..

I am reading 15 to 15 right now.

yes, everytime i pull ahead, within an hour, it doesnt matter by how many votes, i'm tied again.
