Oops.
Sadly, the only difference is that Mailloux's victim does not want to be known publicly.

While the Habs didn’t get nearly enough heat for the signing of the player it appears at least right now he is not eligible to play in the NHL

Right now, nobody is struggling to process anything you’re bringing to the conversation, promise.
You and other posters' assessment of my views amounts to: "You support a racist bully." Some have even gone further to call me a racist. I assure you that is not my view and never has been, so from where I stand you have completely missed the nuance. A forum like this may not be the ideal medium to express nuanced viewpoints, the internet as a whole may not be a place for subtlety anymore. But that hardly excuses you.

Instead I get your typical sanctimonious condescending reductionism as you suck all the good faith out of the discussion. That's just my perspective, maybe I'm alone in that assessment.

I apologized to Jiri for a comment I made reacting to something emotionally. I can own up to my mistakes. Can you?

I am going to be the bigger man, presuming you are one, and walk away.

If nobody can ascertain the complexities of your supposed deeply nuanced thoughts, that's on you, not us.
