False.

No, merely a statement of fact. You chose to present the debate through the lense of your person opinion on the way the debate went ahead of time.

Not a complaint. An observation. Further, it was very direct, stated plainly. Nothing passive or aggressive about it.

Yes, and in the closing remark of your well-poisoning, you said the following"

"leave this debate for you to arrive at a conclusion of who is prepared and who is honestly ready to have a conversion"

I gave you the benefit of the doubt here, since "conversion" makes absolutely no sense within the context of the discussion.

So I naturally assumed that this was a simple typo and you meant "conversation".

Nothing passive. It's very direct, actually.

And certainly not a complaint. This a very clear, concise statement about the obvious attempt to predispose potential viewers to your perspective. Nothing more or less.

It has nothing to do what what "suits" me.
