I've disagreed with plenty this organization has done. The trick, though, there is to actually have good reasons to disagree. That raises the discourse and prevents us from coming off as irrational haters with agendas.You keep on using the argument to mention preferred candidates and that's
a faulty one because for one I'm not trashing the hire I'm simply not buying into the spin that it's and
excellent or awesome hire that I've been hearing and two none of us know who exactly was available
out there and who was truly interested.
It's not an argument. An argument is what I've done in these threads when I've gone into all of the things that Gibbons was good at during his time here and why he fits what AA is trying to do. It's asking a simple question to a person who has criticized the hiring repeatedly (go through the original thread to find such posts). If you don't like the Gibbons hiring, that must mean you had somebody else in mind (and a reason for why they would have been better), no? If not, what were you really complaining about?
Not once did I label you in that category but you keep on taking offence to that comment almost
subjectively letting me know that you are. You should also take some of your own medicine when you
say "The trick, though, there is to actually have good reasons to disagree" when it comes to
Cito, DeRozan, Escobar, Leyland etc.
My first reaction when hearing about the Gibbons hiring was shock and anger however as I've stated
numerous times I'm ok with it now after looking at what's out there in the current market and the type
of manager that I perceive we need as being retired or not available hence why I've not criticized AA for
the hire. My issue has been people ripping others that aren't in love with the hiring of Gibbons and
not drinking the kool-aid on every move the Jays do. I've said this repeatedly I can't make my stance
more clear.
I don't care if people agree or disagree on certain issues...but people get rattled so easily resulting
in cheap shots, little digs, perosnal attacks over things that are so subjective its ridiclious.
personal attacks etc I can't stand that $hit
