eDebate All-Stars (Judge: Corey Turoff, if we can convince him)

BossBoss

Boss, aka Jon Sharp, has been working to co-opt critical arguments into elite policy debate since the mid-90's, helping to de-radicalize Ks through commodification and strategically 'sitting out' in key elim round decisions. His interests include pixie stix, cabals, and diatribes against facebook.

MythMyth

Myth, aka Michael Hester, has been instrumental in demobilizing radical thought in college debate. From his stint as the ringside manager of the WGLF to inciting near-riots via his RFDs as the lone judge to vote for Louisville in late elim rounds at CEDA nats to voting for Fort Hays every time they debated NU - whether they actually won or not, he has almost single-handedly dealt a death blow to policy debate on multiple occasions. His interests include reveling in elitism, telling debaters how bad their arguments stink, and mocking ADA debate rules.
