calscot 0 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I really don't think the thread is about judgement, it's about people doing something that is potentially harmful to the club and using justifications that are plainly contentious: 1 Why shouldn't I do whatever I want? 2 I HAVE to do this or I'm not a good parent. 3 I started before it was harmful so why should I stop now? 4 I HAVE to have 18 in a row or it's worthless. I really don't think you can expect others to accept this kind of stuff without comment and rebuttal. For me, I'd empathise a lot more if they explained it was an indulgence that they felt too strongly compelled to do, despite the downside, for which they hoped their contribution was minimal. That strikes a chord with me, as I think all of us do that, and it shows a bit of self awareness of the situation. Do whatever you want but don't expect everyone to agree with it or think your motives make sense to them. And if you don't want to discuss personal decisions, you don't HAVE to post them... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig can be a bit of an arse at times I agree, but there's no need to get upset about it Calscot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Eh, I'm not upset in the slightest, just clarifying how I see the thread. To me it's all about discussing the points. Maybe I need to use more smilies... Edited April 25, 2016 by calscot 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read your stuff all the time and agree with almost everything you post because you take more time in your replies (without smillies) it says a lot. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way he dissects peoples posts and replies to them. Sometimes I don't agree with his stuff but he knows how to have a discussion without ever backing out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 ...anyways. Not entirely taken on with the new jersey (if that is it) I'd like to see us move to the traditional blue top with no frills forever.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a Class A troll, content enough to feed when bored enough though.
