They pitched you out? Because... why?

Ummm.. because i_am_lane 'won' the debate 'to the death'?

Which is all very odd because the 'debate' was by no means over in any case. i_am_lane was continuing to argue the point, which certainly suggests he didn't think it's was over!

What it really comes down to is that apperception is an arsehole who had it in for me. Some people are just like that I guess.
