Roy, whatever happened in the last thread about What does it take to become a pro athlete, was the same thing that happened in my See What Happens when the Cavs play Competition thread of earlier this year. I came on the blog and pointed out all these stats and facts about the Magic and the Cavs that basically showed the Magic were on the same level as the Cavs. I got laughed at, and insulted. 95% of the posts talked negatively about me and what I posted about. Then, you came on the thread and accused me of breaking the rules first and insulting people when I do not believe that to be the case. After the Magic won, it seemed people were getting madder and madder at me, because they didn't want to admit that I knew what I was talking about. I wasn't looking for an I told you so thread, I just wanted to see people's reaction after the Magic won the series. I believe that everything I write is positive and is posted to have fun and enjoyment and to give out facts and opinions.
The same thing just happened in this thread. Posters came on and said they were laughing at me, yet I was the first person accused of breaking the rules when I said that "you people believe the media". I just think that sometimes you are taking what I am saying and spinning it into something it is not. And also, why are you not coming to my defense first if I am the one who is being insulted first.
It is also the same thing that happens on this blog to Tony Allen. Anyone can go on and insult this guy and you get praised by other bloggers. You, yourself even made a reference once to Tony Allen's mother which seems to be a much worse insult than anything I ever said. Yet insulting Tony Allen also seems to be OK.
I'm not trying to continue any of my previous discussions in thread form, I am just trying to have my voice be heard where I feel that I was wrongfully accused of doing something wrong. And if I post on another totally different thread in the future and it gets "locked", I will just take it as what I was saying was 100% correct and people were not treating me properly. That is how I take this What does it take to be a pro athlete thread. I was talking about how if you can't play on the court, nobody will really see how good you are, and if the thread gets locked nobody can read what I am talking about. That is the same thing.
Again, if I go on a thread like the ORL-CAVS thread, or being a pro athlete thread with logical statements that combine fact and opinion, I should not be laughed at and told that what I am talking about is so wacky and "out there" that anyone can come on and insult me and my ideas. There should be something in the rules about that, because if anyone is breaking the rules it is the posters who come on and tell me that what I am saying is laughable and they then use that to insult me with no facts or logical statements to back it up.
And one last thing I got the Orlando series right 4 games to 2, and who knows maybe one day I could have a chance at the NBA, but after reading what many posters have posted there is less of a chance that I will even try because as you can see I am not getting a fair chance.
