RLBaty's Exercise is pointless

Part I, Rebuttal _____________ My opponent still refuses to stick to the format of this debate, and actually debate the issue he claims. For example, he states: "It was a statement indicating my willingness to consider a more appropriate discussion of his problems if we could work out the logistical details necessary." - The fact is he accepted this debate with my Round 1 written as is, yet he refuses to abide by the rules and premises presented in the debate. He hasn't even offered an alternative premise, nor has he presented any arguments. All my opponent has done is engage in attacks against my person for no rational reason within the context of this debate. "Mangani goes on to further convince me that he has abandoned the proposition" - I've abandoned no proposition I ever sought to undertake. I've presented my premise, and I've defended it. It is up to the judges to determine if I have done so adequately. "Mangani has touched on "100 issues" - I've actually not. I presented a clear premise, described exhaustively exactly what I meant, and presented my arguments. "Mangani has already accepted my positions as to Step #1 and Step #3 of my exercise and this Step #2 issue has him blundering all over the place" - This seems to be the issue my opponent should be debating. He admits he disagrees, but makes no effort to defend his claim. "Mangani clearly fails to demonstrate an understanding of conditional statements as they relate to the issue before us." - Again, something my opponent should be presenting an actual argument in. Should he decide to present an argument showing how this ad-hominem applies to my analysis of his exercise, I'm sure that would make for a lively debate. "I would be glad to try to help Mangani with his fundamental problems on those issues and come to understand and accept my truth claim as to the major premise of my argument." - My opponent seems to misunderstand the purpose of debate. He speaks as if he is superior, but presents no arguments to support his claim. Does his exercise meet the expectations? How would we know if he never defends it? He merely expects everyone to accept his exercise at face value, and the second you disagree that it meets it's intended function, he accuses you of not being smart enough to figure it out. By his own acclaim his exercise is a failure. If everyone who attempts his exercise finds some fault in it, and fails, and everyone is ignorant, then the exercise does not work in singling out the group he wishes to single out. "It is not necessary for me to establish the truth of my major premise here in order to establish that Mangani has failed to even try to sustain the affirmative" - I believe this is a question the judges will be more than eager to determine for themselves. " RLBaty's Exercise is pointless" - I have repeatedly shown how GOG fails to achieve it's intended results. It is, therefore, pointless. _______________________________ Counterpoints In the absence of a coherent argument from my opponent, please allow my arguments from the previous rounds to carry over. No rebuttal whatsoever has been presented against my arguments. I look forward to my opponent's closing rebuttals, and to posting my closing argument. Thank you.
