If that's the case, he'd have been better served working on his disability instead of taking in Flames practices.

There is already enough destruction of the english language that happens in our society. If I know the guy CAN write properly, then I demand he DOES write properly.

Just for the record I wasnt calling you out individually , you were just the closet "MEAN" person post I could quote !

I mean really ? Some of you guys are completely out of touch with reality here and not to mention just downright mean. Dogging on a guy who is just posting because he loves the Flames and hockey? Isnt that why we are all here? Yeah I will agree , his posts were hard to read sometimes. THe dude was doing it because he loved watching and relaying the info. If you hated it that much you could have just saw who wrote the post and skipped right past the thread... kinda like when Eklund is put in the thread title.

While I don't think he had a disability, I do think he had some good posts that were not presented well.

The problem with message boards is that people try to destroy credibility by picking apart everything but the main point of contention. If people just stuck to the topic and not get involved in semantics we'd be OK.

Thats not to say I'm ok with reading crap like: Omg K hears teh probelm. I lol's cuz u r sayin crazey thinks!

His was never that bad though.

Sometimes he was. Netminder is/was the worst though.

I think I remember one time where someone who knows/knew tfb, stated that this in fact was exactly the case. It's why I never over reacted when his posts were a little hard to read and just enjoyed his effort and some of the information he gave us.

I disagree. Coherence and accuracy are valid criticisms of a writer who is passing himself off as "Calgary correspondent" digging out the scoops for the various online hockey blog networks he is allied with. If he wants to hang out with the Sportaks and the Cruikshanks, then he faces the same scrutiny.

Seems to the only "five year old" is yourself with your puerile outbursts.

I'm not going to go through all 5 pages, but he's on twitter if anyone is interested in his posts.

No, I don't think there was a problem. I think TFB actual told us he wasn't mentally deficient.

His own blog/articles were passingly intellegible. I just think he was amused with all the "fame" he was getting for being annoyingly ######ed in his writing.

Actually it is Netminder with the alleged disability.

Yep. I remember that too.

Sad that so many people acted the internet tough guy and ran him down every chance they got.

Does he hang out with the media? Did he ever? The guy was down at practice/training camp and posted what he saw. That doesn't make him 'media.' It makes him someone who loved the Flames and was kind enough to post what he saw.

I don't want to bring up that someone who knows him mentioned he has a disability because nobody knows that as a 'fact', but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and not ridicule him in case there is something wrong with him.

Dion was another posted who I know for a fact had some problems, and it was reflected in the way he posted. He told me about it, and even if I disagreed with what he said I never tried to run the guy down because I knew there was something wrong with him.

He said at one point him and Alex Ruiz were tight. But hey, who wouldn't want to hang out with Alex!

There are posters on CP that know Flames players personally. Doesn't make them media.

That is because they are not two bit bloggers with delusions of grandeur.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that troll, Bingo - but on the bright side it seems that there hasn't been as much CDC paste lying about, lately...
