That's why you dropped to his level? Umm nope. You did that before I even posted in this thread. Please get your facts straight (particularly ironic seeing as your persona perceive yourself one who deals in absolutes)

The general you, not you specifically.

And you say I deal in absolutes...


So accepting 100% unanimous appraisal of a strong draft-class (one which hasn't received this much praise since an accurately-predicted one in 2003) validates my biases, in a group discussion or activity? This is why I lmao.


This is like someone telling me I'm a mouth-breathing group-thinking robot for falling for the hype of immunizations.

Yeah, when you buy into a circle jerk that has pumped this up to be one of the greatest drafts in NBA history, record setting, that does make you biased.

Whether I deal in absolutes or not has no implication on your persona. Not sure why my tendencies are being brought into this. Keep up the cute deflecting. It's a fun mental exercise (albeit of a grade school level)

When you automatically characterize a draft as hype, and observe individual players as mere numbers in a spreadsheet, you are both setting yourself up for stupidity, and failure.



If you were smart and/or intellectually honest, you would look at the hype behind the 2003 draft, and the skills of the athletes of that draft (and their abilities to transfer over to the NBA) and compare it to this years draft.


But no; something like that would require too much work, and maybe making an *** of yourself is much easier. And who knows? You might even fool a couple into thinking you're right!

I'm just thankful that most NBA GMs don't have the same approach to the draft as you do.

These players were being called all stars before they even played a minute in college. How is that not hype?

How many years of college had lebron played when he was being talked about as an all star type player.

Sometimes these experts are good at thier jobs and when all of them agree about a certain player (like lebron) they are usually right.

They don't all agree very often though which is what makes this draft special

because you (people in general) come in and lmao at his attacks. There's nothing else to say.

Circlejerk: A group discussion or activity between like-minded individuals that validates mutual biases or goals in a non-confrontational environment.

All aboard the hypetrain!

Because maybe...just maybe everyone can see he is just having a good time and messing with you. Maybe you should lighten up a little.

If it goes over the top of anything I usually speak out. I'm all for fun and games but not bullying or honest disagreements. You just seem to be taking this way to serious. My .20 (mods get more than .02 Haha Dala suck it)

Maybe back in the 40s during your time. Now a days it is the PC term for my offspring. Not saying that in regards to my children is as offensive as calling an African American black. Please remember that.

So you advocate trolling?

I advocate you lightening up. Joking around and having a good time =/= trolling.

Mess with them back. Or continue to act offended and make yourself look bad. Your choice. I just offered friendly critique.

Joking around/intentionally making non-serious posts in a serious discussion is by definition trolling.

Why do you two act as if I care about my "persona" here?

It is your definition trolling. Also more than one discussion can go on in a thread at the same time. If you want to act all butt hurt, you are coming off that way, then be my guest but do not expect anyone to take you seriously or pay much attention to you if you do.

Because you care enough to defend it.
 
I dunno dude... the internet is serious business. So it seems to me anything on it would be serious, and 100% true.
