Mooning yes, Flipping the bird, not usually. It takes a very good sense of the tone and the balance of power in the debate to disrespect your opponent in just the right way. Being a fiction writer has helped me with that at times. (no comments from the peanut gallery about fiction in the debate forum- though my sociology professor can attest that I'm a BS artist of the highest order).



I look forward to the day we can have a rematch.



Likewise. I have been kicking some plans around that would take me off of ATS for some time if I actually act on them, but I have at least one more tournament before the time to make that decision comes. Come November though I may be scarce though. (I'm gonna run for President lol).
