Can someone just repond to your silly behind without it being a battle. You post something with my name and attribute the attitude to me and you take it as a battle because I respond to you? Who is the one that needs to lighten up.

I never said that you accused me of overgeneralization.

You very much implied that I had no right to say anything to you about "overstating" or whatever word you choose to attribute to me. But then again, you do what you do. Not an issue here.

And all I am saying is, I am not the only voice that feels that way. I am sorry your only interaction with officials is on this board, but I am not looking at it from just this board. Which is why an ESPN Website posted that point of view.

I also think the point that stripes makes, is that many people have the same attitude.
|
Stripes can speak for himself. And he already did.
|
You do realize, I hope, that I didn't write the underlined portion of the above quote. You wrote that. I never spoke for stripes. I only said that I made the same point that he did, which is that you're not the only one to like men's hoop better than women's (which is a position that I have no problem with whatsoever).
|
I am not like others here. I can at the very least understand that stripes can speak for himself. I have an understanding of his point of view, but unlike others here, I do not claim I completely understand. He is a grown man and probably a very good official and he can tell you ultimitely thinks about it. I am just editorializing his comments with the understanding that he will eventually tell you in the end what he meant if you were not clear.

Rut, it was supposed to be a joke, ok? I am sorry. I apologize. I had no emotional investment whatsoever in the post. I thought it would be funny. If you don't think it was, then I apologize.

If you did not want me to comment, then you should not have used my name to make your joke. I for one am not going to have you use my point of view and not comment at all. I have no concern other than to state that I am not alone. And if I was alone, stripes would have never chimed in on the issue.

I explained this. I used your name b/c it seemed to me that you're the one that states that particular opinion most often on the board. That's all. If Dan was always saying that he hated girls basketball, I would've used Dan's name.
|
And I would expect Dan to say something if that was the case. I do not think anyone would be mad at him or say he did not get the joke if he did so. But then again if I respond
STOP THE DAMN PRESSES

Again, it was intended to be a joke. I'm sorry that you felt it was out of line. I apologize, I graciously accept your admonition. I am clearly out of touch with reality. Thank you for enlightening me.

I did not say you were out of touch of anything. I just find it funny that you bring my opinion up, then take issue with me saying something about it. And I do understand that I am one of the top 5 posters on this board and anything I say is going to be some history behind those words and that is fair game. I am just saying to you that "I am not the only one." That is all. But as usually you think I am mad or upset because I respond. Wow, where did you get that routine from?

Not that is funny.
