I challenge jeremy to a public debate somewhere. I forgot to say the name
on that sentence. Just to clarify.
If he believes he is on the right and I am on the wrong and "clearly
delusional" (or whatever he accuses me of), then he shouldn't be scared of
the debate, no?
Oh, let me guess..."I don't want to give him a platform, he is worse than
kanye west"?
Yeah, I bet the excuses are going to be along those lines.
Good bye, guys, I guess this will get me kicked out from another forum.
I lost count, but it feels like more than 109 forums, just saying.
For no reason at all, of course.
