Everyone still on the play every starter bandwagon?

[Flamma]

If you are not concerned whether playing your starters in a meaningless game is smart, then you should not be in this thread.

Meaningless game? Dallas can still get the 2nd seed. My opinion of our coach would drop dramatically if he didn't play to win this game. He'd also probably take a lot of criticism in the media. If this game is so meaningless, why bother doing anything after you're guaranteed a wildcard spot? Just sit everyone, games are meaningless.

Just checking.

I am. I think they need to win to have a shot at a higher seed.

Just checking.

What starters everyone is out!

Telling another member that he doesn't belong here constitutes assuming the right to forbid the free exchange of ideas. Maybe you don't belong here, yourself, if you can't abide by that rule. Assuming the authority to forbid that exchange violates the purpose of this forum. I haven't forbidden anything. I have no more authority here than anyone else. My response was and is just intended as a point of reason. The only people with that authority are the administrator or an assigned monitor. We're all aware of that or should be. I don't seriously attempt to silence anyone, and maybe you shouldn't, either. Let's just relax and show respect for the right of free exchange, here.

I was simply giving you back exactly what you dished out. I see you don’t like it. Why would you?

I wasn't the one that set the stage for being an a-hole. Maybe you're not aware of that. You were butting in on an argument that was none of your business. You'll be known as Mr. Buttinsky now. It was kskboys who attacked me, and I responded. Try minding your own business next time. I don't start trouble, but if it comes my way, I reserve the right to respond. I'm assuming you didn't notice what initiated that fuss.

I showed you your own reflection and you didnt like it.

Mission accomplished.

What you accomplished was acting like a jerk, as usual.

No...you weren't. Try it with a conscience or back to robbing banks and taking the drop at all costs...

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Yes, definitely. I doubt the Cowboys would beat SF if their starters didn’t play.

 

[TwentyOne]

Just checking.

If you have no chance in the playoffs you play everybody. Just to make a point for next year.

Welcome to the club.

That's media/fan stuff, Bully. If sitting your starters in a meaningless game causes a team to lose their "winning mindset", then that team did not have a winning mindset to begin w/.

Sorry, but your line of thought is simply not correct. That is a fan striving for logic. This game is not even close to defining us as winners or losers. That actually makes no sense.

This is considered an attack? Sorry, Bully, don't see how. You a bit oversensitive about this? I think you should work on considering the difference between attacks and counter viewpoints.

 

[kskboys]

This forum is for the exchange of thoughts and ideas. If you cannot handle or respect that, you're the one who doesn't belong here.

Nobody wants to see a starter get hurt nor injured and that includes myself. This is simply aimed at the best ways of going about it.

I happen to disagree that this game is entirely meaningless and so do many others. You are not an appointed monitor here. Face it.

Huh? This thread is specifically about playing starters/not playing starters in certain situations. That is what is being discussed. Why would someone even join this thread if they aren't interested in discussing that? I told no one they shouldn't be on this site.

Looks to me as if you're the one who can't handle or respect opposing ideas.

Yes you did. Since you didn't like my viewpoint, you called me a loser. That's what started this entire mess. Maybe you should think a little more before you go to that extreme.

More fans need to grasp this.

It was an open forum question asking if everyone was still in line about playing every starter. You saw fit to tell me to leave the thread because I offered an opinion you wouldn't accept. If that's your idea of the spirit of this forum, you're mistaken opposed to it. You switched your version of the OP to mean something it's not necessarily meant to relate.

I have a right to my opinion, and you have yours. There's no excuse for trying to force feed it on me or anyone else. It was already established that not every starter would start. I agreed with it and simply hoped we'd start those who were able to play. For whatever reason, you misunderstood my message and decided to censure me. As it turns out, we won in the exact manner I had hoped.

You think I'm oversensitive and I'm convinced you're insensitive. Trying to censure others without the authority to do so is unacceptable to anyone.
I merely responded to your verbal attack in my defense. Try actually being more considerate, if you can and I'll do the same.

Once again, you started the silly name calling because of my viewpoint. When you start name calling, you are throwing consideration out the window. Be a man, at least say you shouldn't have done it.

I wasn't censuring anyone, I was merely observing that if one isn't interested in the topic, then it is foolish to want to discuss it.

 

[Bullflop]

No, I believe I said you sounded like one -- there's a difference there. So, who's being oversensitive now? OK -- let's let bygones be bygones.

At times, tempers get overly aroused here -- I guess we're both guilty in some ways, or another. This forum brings out the worst in us at times.

That's my excuse and I'll assume it's yours, as well. I'm glad we hashed this out, however. Being a real human being can be a heavy load.
