~But the debate is stalled!~That's life sometimes......
~And according to pique, it is because you have not given him the ok to continue!!!~
That's not correct anymore. He has been made aware of his mistake. Also, it was nowhere in our rules he had to GET my permission to continue, so that's a straw dog by you. Nowhere in the rules was it indicated that the moderator checked with us for okays...he was to hold us to the rules.
Duh!
~And also pathetically weak.~
Just like the topic, and opening post 
~No jack. He needs to select the next topic and post it.~
That's right, and that's what I am waiting for.
~At that point you will have one week to post your opening essay.~
Also what I am waiting for.
~Those are the rules.~
Yes, and you appear to be trying to change them....again...by issuing deadlines that you were never permitted to issue.
~I am the one demanding that the rules be followed.~
No, you are trying to change them...again.
Nowhere in our rules did we say WHEN pique_us had to select a topic, only that we had a limited time to post after he did!
So YOU ARE CHANGING THE RULES!!!!!!!! You're weaseling again!
If you make any attempt to issue another deadline, you forfeit. That will be TWO rules violations by you, the first being your previous deadline which i let slide.
YOU DO NOT DICTATE THIS DEBATE! pique_us does, and you can shove your deadlines and false allegations where the sun never shines.
I know you want a graceful way out of this debate, so you'll do whatever you have to do to quit again. It's your chief tactic.
