I know you have. This is to all although I'm responding to your post as my remarks pertain to this topic as well.
Personal criticism and the remarks about other members esp as if they weren't there is not wanted.
People want to read everyone's critical analysis of a player but they generally don't want to read about how they or the OP are making excuses or how they are wrong reading it from another member to another. I know I want to read it even if I don't agree with it. This kind of stuff discourages people from trying to be analytical about the team and drives some away. It also kills threads.
If people want to say something personal then you guys can take it to PMs. If you don't agree with a person's analysis then say it without being personal. /mod hat off
I'll look at the new thread in awhile if I can, Bluestang. I value your judgment. I go out of my way to read your posts....even if we don't always agree.
People say that I'm biased, but what some of them don't mention is that they are biased to prove me wrong due to disagreements in the past relative to other subjects. People don't forget when you point out that they are wrong about salary cap issues or point out that they have a lot of mistakes in their roster projections like the fact that Lawrence can't go on PUP and that Scandrick doesn't count against the 53 while suspended.
I like getting feedback from people like Fuzzy even if he thinks I'm biased. He's probably right.
It seems obvious that other posters just have an agenda to prove me wrong regardless of the issue. If I've proven them wrong in the past obviously, they're going to do everything possible to prove me wrong on another subject.
What many people don't get is that I'm now seeing some people posting where they have specifically reviewed players for themselves and are giving an opinion of players like Free or Parnell instead of just accepting the media reports at face value or seeing one sack and determining that a player failed for then entire game.
If people start reviewing plays for themselves, then I'm winning regardless of whether they agree with me or not. I might change my Avatar to Charlie Sheen. Winning.
