<p>You should argue whatever you want, but never assume I know why you are arguing it until you tell me why. &nbsp;Continuously answer the question: &quot;So what?!&quot; &nbsp;</p> <p>The longer I do this the less impressed I am by debate jargon. &nbsp;After competing in and coaching both high school and college forensics (including 7 years as the Director of Forensics at DVC), I speak debate fluently, but I very much prefer English. &nbsp;Telling me, &quot;Jargon, jargon, jagon therefore I win&quot; rarely actually wins my ballot. &nbsp;Instead what wins my ballot is an understanding of debate&nbsp;with examples, precedent, narrative, delivery, and a sense of humor.</p> <p>I fully understand and appreciate line by line refutation, but in rebuttals&nbsp;I very much prefer&nbsp;story-telling and persuasion over technocratic debate. &nbsp;Also in rebuttals when it comes to impact calculus I am much more likely to be swayed by probabilty over magnitude than I am magnitude over probability.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angry and yelling debate almost never wins my ballot. &nbsp;</p> <p>I dislike speed--I&#39;d prefer if you talked to me like a human being rather than like a flowing robot.</p> <p>Most important, have fun and learn. &nbsp;If you are not having fun and learning, stop giving up your weekends to do this.</p>
