Hey Intelligence_06,
If it's not a huge problem, could you kindly overlook this. Knowing pro's arguments beforehand helped me to accept the debate. Or I probably would've rejected since I agree with the title somewhat.
Wishing good health and without suffering,
Thanks and best regards.
Should I remind the instigator that the description is not the argumentative space? Ah well, seems that he already left way too early for me to say anything to him.
