Quote:Do you need to call someone over for help?

 

I'm "defending" Oesher's right to have an opinion within the confines of who he is employed by. But of course if you disagree with him he's a "shill". (see Malabar and StroudCrowd).

 

I would never want people to stop giving opinions. This is our Comedy Central. I would miss the junior GMs and the Fire the OC! crowd. They are fun to read.

 

I would greatly miss the "fans" who never see any good in the team they "support". The ones who seem to take delight in a team's misfortune. Those who seek some weird sort of validation on an anonymous message board. The internet tough guys. The people who went to the TMD School for Message Board Posters.

 

And of course the people who seem level-headed and humorous.

 

"A self-defeating (or self-refuting) statement is one that fails to meet its own standard. In other words, it is a statement that cannot live up to its own criteria."

 

You're assertion is that those on here who have a different opinion than you are wrong (or idiots as you've put it before).  You are judging us by the criteria that our "opinions" are invalid because we are not qualified GMs, coaches, etc.  You are correct that our observations that you claim are incorrect because they are "negative" are not qualified observations.  They are not qualified as far as being "stamped" true by a real GM, HC, etc..  However, I haven't seen anyone do anything on here other than exclaim their own personal opinion.

13. You shouldn't judge.


The person who says this is making a judgment, namely, that it is wrong to judge! You might respond, "If it is wrong to judge, then why are you judging?""

 

In light of the logic above, your judgement of "us" is incorrect as well (unless of course you are Dave Caldwell or Gus Bradley) and have qualifications as a HC, GM, etc.  So, unless that's true, you should try to be more respectful and just enjoy the discussions here.
