C'mon. That was funny.


Of course it was.

I don't know why, just being honest... but I'm sure it was.

You seem to have difficulty comprehending what I'm typing. Allow me to spell it out for ...I'm certainly interested in discussion or I wouldn't be here. I'm interested in Trae and even in whether he's considered a potentially elite or superstar player. I'm interested in those discussions. I'm not interested in playing your little games. I'm not sure how that's confusing to you. I tried to have a discussion by posting my thoughts on Trae's potential for being Top 5 in the MVP and you weren't interested. But you are certainly interested now that I stated why I wouldn't vote in your silly poll.

I suppose I'm supposed to know what that means, but admittedly not only do I not, I don't even have interest to go look it up. But I'm sure I would have laughed. :D


Ya know, when you have to explain the joke, it removes all the fun ...

Not at all. Ironically enough, as you keep typing about my cognitive difficulties, the "games," and "silly" polls with such great disdain, it eludes you that you're reinforcing the suspicion. For your own sake, hopefully you never are actually guilty of a real-life crime... your denials have the unintended opposite effect.

Unfortunately, you're assuming a movie fetish that doesn't exist.

But I know I would have laughed. I'm sure of it. :)

I suppose I should have known that you would assume whatever you want to assume about me and my opinions despite all direct statements to the contrary. We do have the whole TS comments to back that up. So that's on me, I guess.

What's "on" you, my friend, is captured in the words, "Me thinks he doth protest too much."

I didn't approach you, didn't single you out, didn't make the claim about anyone else for that matter that any individual who frequents this board that their decision to not vote made a statement.

When 50 visit a thread under a heading that explicitly makes known what it's about, and 47 of those decide not to vote, we don't know *precisely who* it makes a statement about, but it makes a general statement. What statement is debatable, but that it makes a statement is undeniable.

Seems you intensely don't want it to make a certain statement, or you wouldn't have bothered to come back to the thread to argue about it. Hence those seven words Billy Shakespeare made famous.

LOL. Whatever you say man. You've clearly made up your mind. Heaven forbid anyone try to have an actual conversation with you. Always turns into a psycho analysis. I'm done.

Billy Shakespeare had no psychology degree. Some things can be figured out and labeled w/o needing one.

Just like sometimes no degree is needed in order to understand 94% non-response to a very simple, straightforward poll.

Again, it doesn't say anything about any specific poster, you or anyone else.

It does strongly suggest, that as a rule, Hawks fans who frequent this board wish they could say they're more enthusiastic about Trae Young's future than they honestly (by virtue of the fact, the poll is after all anonymous) are, and chose non-response instead.
