FG
Did I ask a question in my post?

THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN RESPONDING?

It's a comment, an opinion, an observation. DO NOT EVER RESPOND TO ANOTHER POST UNLESS ASKED A QUESTION YOU TOOL!

Ignore

Ooooooooooooooh.

CAPITAL LETTERS! SCARYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

So Kupchak is a moron, and you are also. In your quest to lick him from head to toe, your poor wittle feelings got hurt when your uncalled for bowing and fawning over him was noticed.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up. We are all on notice. (Whoop de doo.)

Daddymitchlicker ...Oh and by the way, Kupchak signing McKie wasn't "genius." But in relation to YOU and your acumen, I'm sure it looked like it. Noted.

Hey FGump. The regulars on this board know you're smart. But why do you feel you have to needlessly jump all over a relative newcomer to the board. Are you having a bad day? Is it some insecurity issues? Are you trying to prove to him right up front that you're the Alpha Dog on this board and he's just a worthless pup? Come on man. You're better than that.

Sorry if I offended you Dunk, but (a) that trade idea of using McKie's contract was worlds away from a demonstration of "genius" by Kupchak, and (b) when I didn't buy such a coronation and said why it was silly, he jumped in my face as if he's too important to be disagreed with without his permission.

I have a hard team being sympathetic or tolerant after encountering such arrogance and posturing.

You should re-read all you've written and then take a look at yourself in the mirror.

Are you really so naive as to think that it's unreasonable for someone to "jump in your face" when you call him a "drooling Laker suckup". The tone of your original post was way out of line and the fact that he escalated it should come as no surprise to you. Rather than giving him a reasoned explanation of why you thought what Kupchak did was nothing special, you spat in his face. It was as if you were looking to pick a fight with the new kid on the block.

What gives you the right to lash out at someone else for expressing opinions you don't think are as good as your own? Does answering what you feel is "arrogance and posturing" with more of the same make you feel any better or any smarter? What were you trying to prove, and to whom were you trying to prove it?

Dunk, your impressions are off base. My objection was to the bestowing of "genius" on a very ordinary move in NBA circles and wasn't an attempt to "pick a fight with the new kid on the block" as you call it. You have unfairly ASSUMED that negative motive, and then repeatedly try to excoriate me for that negative motive.

There was a disagreement with his view, but there was no spitting in his face. I did indeed say (as you lecture me to tell me I should have done) "why I thought what Kupchak did was nothing special." And now, in my opinion it is YOU who are lashing out, overreacting here and need to look at yourself in the mirror.

In my OPINION, calling someone a genius for no good reason is "sucking up" to them. And yes I did say WHY I saw it that way - right? So don't talk down your nose at me like there wasn't any explanation whatsoever, as that's just not true.

So he offered his opinion, you say. And then I offered my opinion about what he said. And now, you are saying I should NOT have offered my opinion, but should bow to his because his was an opinion...and if I offer my opinion, it becomes "lashing out" or "arrogance" since it doesn't coincide with his...and what gives me the "right" to offer my opinion on that? Sheesh come on dude, get some balance.

From where it appears your head is located, you must have a pretty good view of your cecum. But that's just my opinion.

FGump · Post #32 » by **FGump** » Thu Feb 7, 2008 8:59 pm

And vice versa Dunk. If someone has been obviously picking a fight here, it's been you, for whatever reason. Having a bad day, perhaps?

There's no need to come into this conversation and lecture people about comportment, and demonstrate your high standing in that area or somesuch. This is a forum, where attitudes inevitably will get bristly at times, but things tend to die down and go away when others don't jump in the middle of two people having a disagreement and tell them how to conduct it.

I apologized to you for offending you, but you apparently want to keep ratcheting up the venom. So don't expect me to listen to your calls for moderation in the future if that's the attitude you are going to exhibit.

I'm down, but if you English really do drink your beer warm, you've got to come here for it.

We do not. We also put flavour and taste into our beer. It's this weird tradition that we have.

I'm Canadian, eh? We also put flavour into our beer. Not taste though, as we feel that is redundant with flavour already in there. We also spell flavour properly, unlike the Americans.

Also, we put alcohol in our beer, again unlike the Americans.

To be fair, the only "Canadian" beer I expect you might have seen, Labatt and Molsons, actually only do the alcohol part. But they don't really count, because they are owned by the Dutch and the Americans.

Didn't know you were Canadian. Or, more accurately, I didn't remember. I shall retract. Let's unite in our fight against American oppression. :wordyo:
