Even in quantities you produce? I s'pose if your reason for living is to leave your stink everywhere you go.Fertilizer is useful.
That's not true...like much of what you post where I'm concerned. It's also a complete falsehood to imply I ever made such a claim or believed that myself. Posting nothing but fertilizer...tough habit to break eh?
What makes you think I don't? Because I admit I'm not an expert? Not required to simply believe in oneself. Not so quick on the uptake eh?
I thought reading my posts was a waste of time? Why would you have any concern if you've determined reading my posts is a waste of time? If you think I care about what anyone thinks of my "stylings", especially you and your shoeshine boy, you haven't been paying attention...or are really slow on that uptake.
Or both.What makes you think I don't? Because I admit I'm not an expert? Not required to simply believe in oneself. Not so quick on the uptake eh?

Would you like me to use smaller words in future postings for your benefit?
Did you used to require that someone watch the "Dukes of Hazard" with you so they could explain those complicated plots to you?
Exactly? Who was it that hijacked the thread in your unbiased view?
The above is my post in response to the following:
Knew it wouldn't be long before we heard this hackneyed, tired old statement.
Several 2010 US Olympians absent from this roster...with several US "up and comers" on the roster to gain international experience.
But clearly, those realities had a far greater impact on the performance of the CDN team and the affects of identical conditions for the US roster are negligible...even moot. Nuf said yet?
Check the CDN line up...notice any Olympians missing? Canada uses these little nothing tourneys to give the "up-and-comers" some experience. Nuf said.
Then I posted as quoted below.
Clearly there appears to be disagreement with myself directly involved in the difference of opinion but it still looks like it's on topic to me at this point. I had asked a question regarding a mysterious, and as yet, unspecified "point" to a post on the topic of tournament results. Still on topic in my view...not a popular question though I guess, since it was never addressed by the poster sd2011. Instead I get the following responses, the first in the entire exchange that aren't directly related to tournament games and results. in other words "off topic."Thought I could help you out with a few 2010 US Olympians that were absent. How's come they weren't mentioned?
Natalie Darwitz, Erika Lawler, Gisele Marvin, Brianne McLaughlin, Angela Ruggiero, Karen Thatcher, Kerry Weiland, Jinelle Zaugg-Siergiej, Caitlin Cahow.
I suppose naturally it's absolutely ludicrous to present these missing US Olympians as remotely equitable to those missing Canadian Olympians. Had those players been present it undoubtedly wouldn't have been anywhere near as close as 4-3.
I guess the premise is that Canada would clean house if they had their 2010 Olympic roster at the tournament, regardless of any changes / additions that could be made to the US roster selected for this IIHF 12 Nations get together? Was that the point?
Yaawwnnn!!!
Posts which are then followed by numerous off topic attacks based on my questioning of conclusions I thought were debatable. The progression is right there and can be easily followed IMO. I'm afraid I won't accept the blame for turning the thread off topic since it wasn't me that did so. gotice, you're free to draw your own conclusions based on what you read in the forum. I've concluded some time ago you are not without an obvious bias. You can point the finger at me if you wish, not an unbiased conclusion based on any accurate assessment of exchanges would be my conclusion due to your characterization of me as an instigator. I'm sorry we've had a few semi volatile exchanges regarding our political beliefs. You probably feel I "bullied" you in those exchanges too. I don't think that is the case myself.Couldn't have said it better myself. I guess the process of elimination doesn't work for this guy.
I'm required to state my disagreement with your comments quoted herein. My posts were specifically about the games being played in Finland and their results, as well as those questions I had for some conclusions regarding those results which I found debatable. Still on thread topic in my view, until the typical smart *****, off topic responses directed at me that I received after suggesting I did not agree with theories posted by a couple Canadian fans. I think the theory is that results between the US and Canada would be vastly different if conditions were more ideal for the Canadian team. That's why I posed the question asking for the point, to find out if I had it right or wrong.
