Exactly. I agree. But Mister.Earl never dishes out anything to get worked up about. He might tweak you by asking if you are not entertained that the knicks picked up a few wins. He might remind people to the good thats happening while we were "gnashing our teeth" or bitching and moaning as it were. He may needle and nudge. But he's not here caling others losers like so many others do. Earl is like those guards at buckingham palace. You have people on this thread accusing him or nasty things, yelling in his face etc... but he does not respond back in kind. That makes him a much more respectable person than his accusers.

I don't really agree with you. Earl spends his entire time asking agenda fueled loaded questions, fails to back up his arguments and counters with little annoying sayings like "its jus a game" or "grab the donuts," and pretty much exists just to stir **** or stir people up. He's one of the worst trolls of any kind on this forum. He deserves 200% of the heat he gets. He doesn't even watch the NBA more than casually (he thought Zach Randolph was 6'9 215 before he came here).

There are a whole list of people on the other side of the argument that are the same way but go about it with a slightly more overt and less needling method, but lets not take this opportunity to list just about everyone that annoys us on this place. They probably know exactly who they are anyway.

The point is I'm just about at the end of my rope with the agenda people on both sides of the coin. Lets bring some substance rather than inflammatory, mindless crap. Arguments are meant to be nuanced. The "I hate X so everything about X sucks," has taken over this forum and its dissapointing to say the least.

speaking for myself i have no problem w/optimism... i admire it actually even tho i can't share in it most of the time... it's not the optimism that rubs people the wrong way w/earl.

I think Nixluva is one of the most well-respected people on this site.

I know this convo has probably run its course, but you cant be serious with that. Ol' boy takes constant abuse. Routinely baited. Thats not even debatable.

Now nixluva is a guy that I think should not be taking the vicious sort of abuse that he does (joking around with him for being wrong is one thing, insulting another). Though I'd say those that bait him are the ones I describe in the 2nd paragraph of my initial post. To his credit he's a guy that always tries to back up his opinions and he comes off as a genuinely nice (if unusually optimistic) guy.

Uh-huh. Good post Earl.

While you were crowing and subterfuging, the Knicks have had a disgustingly miserable season,
having 2x 8 game losing streaks, 2x 7 game losing streaks, and a 5 game losing streak.

Spin that, doc.

[isiah lover] He's a genius he purposely tanked this season the day Marbury went AWOL so he could steal the #1 pick in the draft. All the players are on board with this. Just watch we will win the East next year because Isiah has you all fooled. Not me though, I knew what he was doing all along, he's deserves Exec of the Year when he puts this plan together.

We have five franchise cornerstone starting players all destined for the HOF. We have the deepest bench in the league. Now we're going to add the #1 pick in the draft to the roster.

Can you say FINALS? I can.

Haters, fall back, you're not real fans, only I am.

*waits by the phone for Crawful to call and ask me out on a date*

See, anything is possible.
How'd I do?
