The only person on this website that is consistently right, is the one guy most people despise:
Islesfan!
We all owe him an apology
You're goddamn right you do!
nixluva, you need to relax a little. Being singled out and ridiculed isn't such a terrible thing. I went years taking, and giving, that abuse. Now I'm stuck being imitated, parroted and praised, even by some of the same people who used to criticize me in the past. That's no fun. They've stolen my joy. All those years I knew I was right, but now that most people have come to realize that, I'm kinda stuck being a figurehead with everybody else doing my work exposing Isiah for what he is.
My suggestion to you, is to enjoy being held up as a contrarian. Take the ridicule and learn to love it. Of course when I did it, I knew that I was right and it was only a matter of time. You don't have that same luxury but at least you will develop a thicker skin. Like the idiot James Dolan. Of course he has billions of dollars to fall back on. You know, on second thought, I don't know why it's worth it for you to keep doing it? Just come over to the Dark Side. I guarantee you, that if you do, I'll reserve a seat for you right next to me at the table. The rest of the holdout Lovers, aren't welcome even if they do come to grips with reality, so they might as well twist in the wind and go down with the ship.
