I'm glad, if that's the case. Like I said, I haven't read this thread much. Just think it's ridiculous that it's gotten to Part 7 and am fed up with all the ridiculous "**** This Team If Lin Is Not On It"-styled threads that have popped up over the last few weeks.

Amen. Not all. Just the ones who are Lin > Knicks fans, IMO

Hmm...perhaps you missed the whole
one of the only reasons I'd be totally fine with not matching is simply to get rid of all these **** Lin fanboys once and for all.
Another reason is that I honestly don't think Knicks not matching Lin = Knicks not winning. At all. And I suppose the whole
At the end of the day, I personally think it's smarter to match Lin. But I suffer enough as a life-long, die-hard Knicks fan.

number one priority My point is that Knicks fans are battle-tested. We've been through the fire, and believe me, even on the road to our eventual championship season (whenever that may be), there will be gobs and gobs of **** hitting the fan along the way. It's the Knicks. That's how it goes. I just don't need massive amounts of people both here and in the Knicks community whose only agenda is Jeremy Lin-centered, regardless of the Knicks. I don't want to see a plethora of threads defending Lin's play if/when he isn't necessarily performing to the expectations of his contract, disallowing any criticism towards him whatsoever, and generally bashing Melo in any chance possible (not to say there aren't certain times when it's completely warranted).

Funny, I was honestly thinking the same thing earlier when I read a few of your posts on the Lin topic. But then I thought, "I'm not going to make a judgment on a poster I once respected based on his views on one particular Knicks-related topic," and decided to reserve judgment. Sad to see you're making a judgment on me as an overall poster/person based on my feelings towards one particular topic. But there are greater tragedies in life.
