Hypothetical question

[br801]

If you don't spend 90% of your posts criticizing other posters with their faults I would be shocked if you had 400 posts.

How about telling the person why they are wrong instead of constantly picking on low hanging fruit. I swear its almost like you never say anything people disagree with. I guess its your shtick to pick on everything.

That's your reaction to what I just posted? Wow.

Lots of people would (and surely will) disagree with you. Just not me.

I know... That's why I said it. It's one of my irrational pet peeves... Like people who say "I could care less"

Well said. It's easy to play defense. Putting your balls out on the chopping block with a bunch of people waiving cleavers takes courage.

You should care less about people saying "I could care less." Speaking or logical inconsistency, what does irrational pet peeve mean? Is it irrational that you have the pet peeve or is the pet peeve itself irrational?

There's no reason to get upset and start shouting. Calm down.

Yeah, I will try to cut down on the angry, rambling, reactive posts in the future.

Yes

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Why can't we just all get along?

At first I wasn't going to post this question. And then I thought, what if I did pose this question hypothetically?

Holy cow -- I must have missed something because this came out of nowhere.

I don't think it's out of nowhere. I thought the same thing and this is not the first time. But I'm not a complete jack donkey where I would say something about it. Actually, I think I did complain once so maybe I am a complete jack donkey.

Generally, I think it is better netiquette never to comment on someone else's post but only to express your agreement or disagreement with their opinion. And more importantly, if you are going disagree with someone else's opinion, then at least state your own opinion and why you have that opinion.

I think we can all agree on the fact that if we did not make the tournament or had lost in the first round that Malachi would have returned to Syracuse. His stock soared with every passing game and that's what led to his NBA jump. With that said would you have taken an early Syracuse loss in the tournament in order to keep Malachi for this year OR stick the with outcome last year of a great tourney run to the final 4?

I'm a bit torn on the issue because if we had Malachi this year I would consider us a real threat to cut down the nets...but I loved every moment of our Cinderella run last year.

If I had to choose I'd take the early cuse exit with Malachi back because in my heart of hearts I knew our team last year really had no chance to win it all.

You don't take points of the board.

If Devendorfs shot was a second sooner, Flynn still leaves.

If he never got the half court shot, Ennis still leaves.

If he didn't go crazy for six minutes vs Uva, Mali still leaves.

I actually don't 100% agree on the Ennis one. Not just the half court shot necessarily.

But the undefeated run was why he got on the board
