Head Coach if there is no GM change
Explain to me exactly what it is I am misinterpreting with the OP. The English looks clear to me and the beef here has been more so about my initial reply being taken as disrespect and an outright insult equated to harsh insulting words, not my interpretation or feelings about his post.
Multiple posters may be telling me one thing (most of whom are strongly on the fire Loomis side and fight tooth and nail with anyone that says otherwise, which hurts that argument IMO), and there are multiple posters agreeing with my post by evidence of the likes, including at least one from a moderator. Doesn’t make either side right. It’s a discussion board.
Like I said though, it’s clear to me that my words are going to be characterized a certain type of way that’s different from other posters I have seen, and I will adjust accordingly.
Appreciate you saying that. I don't want to go back and rehash this thread, and reopen arguments. You may have a valid point regarding fair vs. unfair, and I can certainly understand your perspective on that. But what I heard from Andrus is that standards have gotten a little lax on the forum; but he owned it, and seemed to indicate he'll be renewing focus to restore the standard. Maybe I misunderstood him, but that's what I heard. And it's welcome. Enforcement has to start somewhere, sometime, regardless of what was overlooked yesterday. There has been too much antagonism on this board, IMO, and I'll be glad to see a higher level of discourse restored and enforced. Seek first to UNDERSTAND, then to be understood. (that's not directed at you specifically, but a collective membership of posters)
In fairness to you, I've seen a lot of your posts, and your posts have never stood out to me as being of the overly negative and antagonistic variety. JMO. But you really came off that way in THIS thread. So I don't think it was your intent, you just stepped in something here. When Andrus alludes to the issue, consider it valid, IMO; and maybe don't double down on justification that "others do it too" or "others are worse".
Regardless, I generally find your takes on situations to be thoughtful, informative, and thought-provoking. All welcome adjectives, IMO, and I hope that continues. I only know you from SR.com and I've got no beef with you personally. Seem like the kind of guy I could drink a beer with and talk about our favorite football team. You just accidentally stepped in something....scrape it off your shoe, move along, and watch where you step moving forward. JMO...
