They are completely unreasonable, and if you can't see that, that's your problem.
I kind of had a feeling this might be the case. Sorry Gracie, but you either gotta play fair, or not play at all.
I'm sure you understand - while the above is my opinion only, I don't think that the rest of the staff is going to be willing to make a mockery of a formal debate - where higher standards of intellectual rigor apply.

Yeah, the win gene did pass over this one.. When you Grace talked about unbeneficial mutations, I have to agree that you made a point (that you perhaps did not want to make). Please tell me that you are either sterile, not going to have children or pass away before multiplying. That would be the kindest favor you could give mankind

I can second that.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

All my pronouncements are final or I win.
Are you sure?
How about this: You get absolute say over all rules, but I will be the judge of the debate, able to decide the winner according to criteria I have total control over and can alter at any time, for any reason.
That sounds fair, doesn't it? What do you say, Esq?

She has a 100% loosing streak in tic tac toe, I hear.

I can third it!
BTW, Why do we still indulge this person?
It's about time we ignored it/he/she....

Goes for me too. Why even bother having any rules at all, if it boils down to one person demanding all the high ground and pre-emptively declaring victory? Grace under fire is not a pretty impressive specimen. Were I among the God Squad, I would probably leave out of sheer embarrassment round about this point.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Awwwwww sheeit this is getting good. Although I must admit even an official debate will be a pointless time waster since we know what kind of fallacious rhetoric Grace comes up with, I'd still like to see it.
I'll make signs and
No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning)
Rest your weary mind
No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)
I have realized I AM GOD

I'll just leave this here:

Well, to be fair, when one is arguing the reality of one's imaginary friend, who was sometimes described in third person during solitary times by someone who was not present and copied by unknown copyists, then you need a pretty big handicap. I strongly worry if making up all the rules, definitions and facts is enough of a handicap for grace???
