You can declare me the victor if you wish, but it's an empty victory.
You have provided absolutely no data or facts for your side of the
debates.  I have, repeatedly.  That in effect makes me the de-facto
victor in any debate situation.  I provided facts that back up what I
said, and NO ONE who opposed me put up anything but "we think
otherwise" statements.  That tells me you have no real proof and are
arguing an emotional position, not a logical one.  The victory of
logic (with proof) over emotion (with no proof) is still victory, but
it is empty.

At least I can tell where my Kool-Aide comes from and decide if it's
still worth drinking. ;)

Jon.
