Not trying to be a dick, but something just rubbed me the wrong way...

In the topic just posted: Should the Raps get AI, "Little Ozzy" said this...

"This topic has already been talked about at length.

He's not coming here."

...and locked the thread, just as I was about to post something.

Now, I understand the mods have a tough job, especially on the Raptor board (we're the like the biggest fans!), sorting through all the posts and trying to keep some semblance of order. I appreciate the effort of all the mods, but sometimes, like in this case, I think they get a little carried away.

Stopping a thread because you have an OPINION that you seem to value as fact ( AI is not coming here ) doesn't seem too cool to me.

Yes, I agree, AI most likely will never be a Raptor, but stranger things have happened. I don't see the harm in discussing it, especially if there are enough people who would like to do just that.

Who knows, maybe AI ends up having to settle for a 1 year Vets minimum contract to prove he can still be a difference maker. Why not with us? Not likely, but definitely worse discussing.

Just my 2 cents!

BC has said that AI will not be signed because of chemistry issues. So Ozzy had a legit reason. Its not like he locked it because he did not think it would happen. Go ahead and open a thread about Marbury and I am sure it will not be locked.

We just had one of these locked...AI will/should not come here.

The original thread locking had nothing to do with my opinion. It was locked simply because we have had endless AI threads since the start of the off season.
