I don't understand what having an opinion about a trade or a former player has to do with their personal exploits or accomplishments in real life, but Roger is making an @$$ of themselves with the personal attacks.

Comment and disagree with an opinion all you like, but the personal attacks make you look childish. Embarrassing.

Anyone who would actually want to be "intellectually honest" could just go a see my post history. Yet I see these completely false claims by several people here and now this, trying make a narrative that never existed.



But whatever. Have a nice weekend.
I personally was being very intellectually honest when I looked up the birth dates, made the quick calculation, and then showed that you rounded up on two players and down on another to fit your argument.

You're tripling down (may be quadrupling) doesn't change any of that.

Birth dates accurate
Calculations accurate
Your rounding up and down accurate

Not sure what dishonestly I'm perpetrating.

This has been great. Unhinged poster firing off insults. The targets of said insults respond with references to their financial success, intellect and humanitarianism.

Please don’t ban Roger. Let’s see the other C level officers who can be so easily baited.

The most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life is teaching students, challenging what they think they know, and making them think critically about issues and for themselves. The coolest thing in the world is seeing a student you influenced be welcomed into the academy and them mentioning your instruction as shaping their perspective and driving them through their program. The only thing more rewarding is donning the regalia and shaking the hands of every graduate each year. The look on those faces keeps you going. I get it. It took a lot to leave academia full time, but even doing the adjunct stuff is still rewarding in its own twisted way. Good on you for following the path you did.

What a bizarre read this morning ... head scratching.

I honestly thought the key issue would be age rounding, nope.

When reading some of Lanny's posts I thought he was an angry teenager. The more you know.

None of that came off very well from anyone, lol. We just had two posters confidently describe how much money they make and how amazing they are as the grand finale to an argument already off the rails in absurdity.

I agree with others though, I want more of that. It's fun to read during the offseason. Doesn't look like we'll get much happening with our new pick ups until late August anyways.

The age thing was my favourite, personally. Poster clearly rounds up and down in different directions to support the narrative he's pushing, gets a quick, innocent correction from Bingo and goes off the rails for 4 pages of defence against everyone.

It was nice.

Ahhh, the bottomless irrationality of summer @ CP.
