    Hear, hear

    So why TLD's comment? I would have willingly continued the debate had I been allowed to stay up longer. Just because you are adults, doesn't mean that : firstly, you are always right, and secondly, you get to lord it over us that you can stay up as long as you want.
    It wasn't meant to be a great revelation, it was just meant to be an explanation - second guessing my intentions (especially when, according to you, he knows I am a kid and there is probably another reason for it) is not sensible.

    Because there was no need for you to say you were going to bed and wouldn't engage further :p as far as I've noticed we all have to sleep, but you don't see everyone called out on their remarks saying "I'm going to go to bed now"!

    I thought it would be appropriate given that people were online and we were in the middle of the debate. If I were to just leave without explanation, it would look even more like I was trying to avoid the debate. So no, I did it because of the situation context. I don't abandon a debate without explanation. I'm fine without people second guessing my every move as evasive.

    The point of this game is knowledge seeking not winning...

    I see it as a win for Beauval, not a win for myself, and so I am pleased, that's all.

    Well, as long as that pleasure is based on a genuine belief that Beauval deserved to win based on carnivores alone that's great.

    Honestly, I genuinely believed they deserved to win based on those criteria and there was no personal triumph pleasure at all hand on heart.
