Yeah I'm having a little fun with you. I find it interesting that you consider being held to your own standards is an act of aggression. what does that say about the aggressiveness of your standards toward others?

I love your knowledge and I respect your commentary, but quite often I see you turn basketball debates into opportunities to try to claim some sort of higher moral ground. Trying to claim higher intellectual ground I'm used to, we all do that to some degree when we debate, but the righteousness you sometimes exhibit is what I find unusual. I could give some more examples, but lets not bother. I said it. Take it for what it's worth. if you want to use it as an opportunity to critique me as well you can.

He really has it in for the fans. You know something that came to mind that I'm sure makes those who are against the fans booing in this debate hypocritical is this.

Has anyone ever had any type of service performed for them wether person-to-person tangible(restaraunt dining, contract work done on a home) or indirect person-to-group/community tangible(city work serives garbage disposal, road construction) and complained?


Take for istance if you dine out at an expensive restaraunt and you order your food and they bring out exactly what you didn't want on multiple requests, take a long time in the process, maybe even insult you over a disagreement of what was order. When they finally get it right the food was bland and awful. The mgmt of the restaraunt completely backs it's employees and refuse to offer any amenities for your experience did you cause a scene even if it was a mild one? Why cause a scene or even raise your voice it doesn't make your experience better nor for those currently dining. Your food doesn't start to taste better, the waiter/waitress doesn't all of sudden become the best waiter in the restaraunt, the cooks don't prepare the meals any better than they usually would all the while possibly could have put something in the food you just ate because you complained miserably. Oh and it's widley known for the most part they service evryone this way but don't do too much to change because they are the only restaraunt of it's kind in town.


How about road construction maybe a project was extremely behind schedule and constantly pushed back as far as ETA but the community was constantly updated that completion of project was to come anyday now. The city finally announces that roads will be open on such and such day and when you get ready for your commute in the morning those roads are still closed. So you decide to drop F-BOMBS in traffic all the while being detoured to your final destination. When you get to work you stir up disdain with your fellow employees on how bad the city construction is. Even to the point you yell at a construction working on your way home, who's doing work on a totally different project. Did those F-BOMBS completely repair the roads, did those roads suddenly open because your F-BOMBS dropped like Heroshima, did that city worker you yelled at stop the job he was doing and go finish up the road construction project?



How about contract work done on your home. The full crew of workers aren't necessarily doing a bad job. Although there are maybe a hadnful who clearly aren't doing their job. When the job was originally bid it was at a current price but because they've had so many problems with personnell the price on the job continued to escalate. You were so far into the relationship/work with the contractor that the expense to start over with a different contractor would be as costly if not more so. Some people were fired even those who were a part of the contractor mgmt team. As they continue to work on your house you notice a lot of the creworkers are complaining because one creworker is taking all the Sweat Towels from eveyone and there's another crewworker Eating every crewmembers Lunchpail and another crewworker who's Laying Bricks all over the place. So you decide to take a step outside the house and get a closer look while they work. You stand out there for hours not really saying a word but standing completely over the work their doing and you decide to do this whenever they show up to work on your home. Does standing over them make them work faster?


All these illustrations show a disgust and dissatisfaction that I'm sure we've all done before because it's human nature when expectations aren't met.
