I was not trying to be mean. I regularly interact with your content and I was genuinely just trying to give you feedback on a change you just made, because I think it's a bad change and it's going to hurt you in the long run. But note taken, I won't make such comments on your content in the future.

Trick question, if I'm the player calling the judge I certainly hope for them to force my opponent to concede :)
Of course, that's not actually going to happen. It's angle shooting but there's been no rule violation. The player who showed the counterspell will just learn a sad lesson.
