Debate.org should not demand your cell phone number to access certain features.

Ha ha XD I think it's fine, as long as others understand who's whom. So thanks for a clear and concise rebuttal So now for maximum clarity, I will simply review the debate thus far, defend the attacks made on my stance, and proceed to extend the attacks my opponent covered Me- 1. Security- For this point, My opponent doesn't actually attack the point I've made, he simply suggests an alternate system. while it would seem that this attack would be a perfectly acceptable counter to the point that the usage of Cell-Phone numbers is simply for security, it is not. You see here mo opponent doesn't address the issue at hand. So I ask you all not to look to this attack as there is no clash with what I've actually said here. 2.The Number is not used- Now going on to the refutation my opponent made here; he's comparing Debate.org to 4chan. Go ahead, reread what I just said because that's exactly what I just said. He is comparing Debate.org to 4chan. As ridiculous of an argument as this is, I will cover it. We have absolutely no reason to believe this absurd comparison. what my opponent has said is the same as comparing Encyclopedia Dramatica to Wikipedia. Point being it isn't accurate, and there's no warrant as to why you should believe this. 3. Limited usage is not the end of the world- Now my opponent's attacks here are are not even applicable to the point I'm trying to make. in fact the sum quantity of what he has said, supports Me if anything! Not every-one even has access to the internet. so instead of debating something as mediocre and nit-picky about this website's otherwise wonderful an free service; we should instead be exercising this website's use to it's fullest potential by talking about Science, Philosophy, or Politics. with all of this said, I will move onto my opponent's refutations of my own attacks Opponent- 1. Some people may not have a cell phone- Honestly, I don't think we can even count my opponent's statements here as a refutation. but instead I ask you to take these words and apply them directly to my own stance. First, most people do indeed have cell-phones, so this is not such a big deal. second, you can still use this site's primary function (to debate) without registering your cell-phone with them. So let's move on. 2. Having to borrow the cell phone of a friend/family member is an outrageous solution- My opponent is still caught up on his suspicion that Debate.org is going to do something malicious with his number. even though my opponent actually makes the point to say in his own constructive speeches that when registering with site, they go out of their way to inform you that they WILL NOT be using you phone number for ANYTHING. Beyond that my opponent's suspicions are completely and utterly unfounded. This is a logical debate, so unless he can at the very least provide any kind of reason other than ridiculous suspicion, we need no look to his stance. Also, I would like to point out that while having a cell phone is not a necessity (I never said it was, it's just an incredibly useful tool) being a member of Debate.org is even less of a necessity. A Cell can provide you with the ability to be contacted and contact others. this website is for Fun and academic stimulation (Also, I might point out that my opponent's refutation had absolutely to do with borrowing a cell phone being absurd) 3. What will they do with my number- My opponent doesn't cover this point, please count i as a drop And so in closing, this website is pretty darn wonderful. It provides it users (Completely free of charge) the ability to debate, and network with others. and the (if anything) Minor inconvenience of having to register your number to be able to vote and such, is more than acceptable. So I urge you, to vote for me in this debate.
