You either know what you're doing and are an insidious troll, or are simply a misguided buffoon. And no, that has nothing to do with your religious beliefs. |

Connie Hawkins gets to play in the NBA during his peak. Karl Spooner and Steve Dalkowski don't throw their arms out...and what if "we got to see Mickey Mantle on two good legs."

Why don't you Mr Bison make me stop, you're the tough guy? I'm sure you're capable of pulling that off. I decided IMO, that Avante is mocking, so you think you can change that? Listen buddy, you are entitled to the name calling and the likes, I don't subscribe to that. Troll, I've been called worst. |

Once a literalist, always a literalist. The thread title is a
Figure of Speech
as such it is not to be taken literally. It's rough translation is:
If life were fair . . .
Perhaps you've heard the expression:
"That tastes God-awful." That does not mean "God fills that taste with awe". It is not heresy, disrespect or offensive. It's just an expression.
I await your response . . . |

I can only assume English is neither his first, second, nor third language. No one is this unintentionally dense without having some serious cultural and language barriers before him.
Speed, you can put whatever labels on it you like. But it's evident to all that you cherry pick statements/threads to deliberately misconstrue (or misunderstand?) the entire context, from both a literal and figurative sense. Whether you're looking to make people annoyed, or you simply have a different definition of "civic discourse" than most, it's apparent that it's not appreciated. I know you'll argue that you're you're own man, and no one can tell you what to do. And that's great, but realize people are tired of you sinking threads to the bottom of the proverbial sea. |

It occurs to now that all this 'piling on' is simply poor judgment on our part. It can only be described as 'dueling with an unarmed man' or, to be un-PC, 'making fun of the handicapped', so I take shame on my participation and herewith cease and desist in any further 'debate' (sic) with sf. Sorry, sf.  |

From the Vol POV, Tony Robinson would not have gotten his knee blown out on an intentional hit to the knee by a Bama player and then wouldn't have gotten arrested for distributing coke. The best and smartest QB I have ever seen in Tennessee orange, including you-know-who. And a great guy. Was just with the wrong crowd and that judge who threw the book at him will have to live with what he did.
And Chuck Webb wouldn't have injured his knee against U. of Pacific of all people. Webb is the best TB I've ever seen in Orange. |

Mr Bison, very simply if I determined that this thread was mocking God, I'm entilted to make that determination. Since I did determine that and as a result stated my view on that. Now you may feel you have some type of understanding of me of which you don't, but please continue to try and figure me out.

No I leave the speaking for others up to the defender of track & field news message board, that's you. As you can clearly see, you make it your business to seek after my post and retort, hey but do you, knock yourself out. |

How original, just make that up? I'm sure it take's one to know one. But I'm sure you don't subscribe to the notion you're a troll, someone call you a billionaire would you reply to that, didn't think so.
Continue with your assault..... |

Speedfirst, no one is assaulting you here. Your comment makes it clear what the problem is: you think this is some game where people try to attack you, so you get on the defensive before it even happens.
And you know what? If you didn't love every minute of it, you'd stop egging people on with quotes like the one above. It's painfully apparent that you enjoy being difficult for the sake of being difficult. This is the problem people have with your posting style. And since it has become a pattern, few people are able to take you seriously anymore, try as they might. |

Mr Bison, you're wrong once again about me, that's your view. I reply to your post after you state your opinion of me. If you notice you don't reply to the subject of the thread, you're more concerned about my posting.
I don't live up to your standards of which I have no idea what they consist of. You might try coming down off your high horse as well, your majesty. |

That's because you ruined/doomed this thread long ago. You didn't reply to the subject either. You deliberately misconstrued Avante's message and used it as a perverse soap box. It should now be painfully clear from your own comment that your silly antics have tarnished yet another good discussion.
I'm done with this, it's silly, you're clearly a better troll than most. Well done, on to your next scheme. |

Misconstrued you say, not at all. As I indicated to you and others, I determined Avante was and is mocking God with the title of this thread. You can certainly feel otherwise, now because you do, you WILL NOT bully me from stance, not at the least. You may continue to attempt to. |

It's just a figure of spee . . . never mind . . . piling on . . .
Your use of the word 'determined' above is an excellent pun, sir. You are nothing if not determined (in the face of overwhelming logic) to draw your own . . . conclusions.  |

Better I draw my own conclusions Mr Marlow than draw your conclusion. Last time I checked, you draw your own conclusions, I think. Wait a minute, maybe Daisy has his hand up your back, you could very well be his puppet. Don't get it twisted, I'm not your puppet.

Exactly of which I never alluded to or even hinted that to be the case. But again lonewolf, for them to portray that I somehow coined the phrase and pinned it on Darwin or any other known evolutionist is a joke. |

I have determined that Speedfirst is a troll who gets off on marathon controversy; possibly motivated by desire to increase post count since, according to him, numbers lend validity to opinion.  |

Post count, what does that matter? You simply are wrong, but hey we''re all wrong at times, no one's perfect.
Troll, hmm been called that before. I tell you what when someone shouts troll, I never respond to that. Well you know about the duck and water rolling down their backs, got the visual. |

You don't own the threads you start. You couldn't simply leave well enough alone. Don't start none, won't be none, but when you do.
Brutal, why don't you try making me not respond, how about that? |

I was minding my own business and you slung an arrow at me, and it hit me.
