That's not the issue and your know it. Quite a strawman tho.
We don't need to go any further that your stupid gambling thread to illustrate your sense of superior knowledge on this subject. I'm failing to see the value add. Feel free to continue your condescending rants at others. I'm sure we will catch up later.
Neat.
I put a good deal of time into studying my wagers, unlike most who do it just because betting has become the trendy thing to do. No different than day trading sparked by the GameStop stock situation. Instead of jumping in head first thinking I have some higher knowledge, I took time to study the craft. Reached out for education and I do my best to absorb every piece of information I can in order to make smart calculated risks. Though I am more than aware they're risks none-the-less. I've had my share of misses. Some narrow, some where I end up scratching my head and going "damn, I messed that up". And if you've kept up with that thread you would know this. I take pride in my passion seeking learning for things I'm interested in. I take pride in that but display equal humility in losses and even in some wins. I've also made a profit gambling the last 4 years. Part of said profit will be going to a donation to BP for the winter drive. So your eye rolling of that thread is misplaced. If that isn't your particular vice I have no problem with that. But holding it over my head like it's something detrimental to my image seems silly.
Like I said, I see my measured responses in a field of "MoVe ThE tEaM" type posts. I also went and checked out The Game thread on Sunday. A swamp of WTF's, we sucks, etc etc. No real substance beyond just venting.
Didn't see you once in there calling anyone insufferable for whining. I can only assume that because I post shit that isn't the typical material, you reach into the cliche' bag and pull out the "know it all". Why? Not entirely sure, but we now exist in a world where level headed words and analysis is just not satisfactory anymore. And a know-it-all would imply I'm demonstrably wrong in my posts about the Brownies. If I am, I encourage to give your rebuttal in a detailed manner such as mine. I've seen your willingness to debate in the poli board, so I know that side of you exists.
But I've noticed anymore we have to shout nonsense, vague words that feel right, in order to blend it. I get it, I really do. If anything, I think your choice of verbiage is specifically targeted at me in response to my last post in the poli board directed at Dub calling him insufferable. Make no mistake, his posts almost all are down there. He types things easily dismissed by anyone with a rational mind. I...do not emulate his style. If that seems "superior", it isn't because I'm putting my nose up to anyone for any little reason. I just believe I can offer more constructive content in contrast to those who chose not to.
Over a month ago I said Baker needed to be shut down. Litlbuck decided to quote me and me only, calling me a "Baker basher". Whatever that means. Because apparently seeing someone struggle and saying their health is affecting their job is "bashing". I understand it wasn't a popular opinion at the time, but now it's so plainly obvious it's undeniable to anyone not named Stevie Wonder. I'd like to think I was slightly ahead of the curve. But nobody had an issue with me trashing Johnny Manziel since day zero.
Per my last post to him, I do not want to engage in his further discussion. I was respectful and wished him well, but expressed my distaste in singling out me only. But several other posters chimed right in after and echoed similar thoughts and he didn't quote them as bashing.
Hell, I'll offer the olive branch. I can see where my post quoting numbers would come across as snarky now. Wasn't meant to be , but I understand and I offer my apology to him now. Maybe you and I can get back on the right footing as well? But if you believe I'm going to just post nonsense and not continue to dive head first in detail about something I'm passionate for, (football) then I'll wish you the best all the same and encourage you to put me on ignore.
