Lower your expectations, then, because it ain't happening.

and yet, many of those people you mention had something more to offer for being inclusive. and i can't see Thomas More going to the gallows because he failed to apologize for attacking someone in a Buffalo Bills internet post. Galileo, really?

Except I'm not going to the gallows. At worst I'll be excommunicated from a Bills message board. Hardly the same thing.

 

And yeah, Galileo kept on trucking even with the Church doing what they could to keep him from shattering their precious little universe.

I think it's time to close this thread.

 

Why? I like it keeps all the riffraff in a contained space it seems

Only now have we reached a point of immaturity. Leonidas, I'm gradually losing respect for you with each response to jw. And my respect was at an all time high after your initial reply.

ESPN = MTV = American Idol = Fox News. You know that, right?

 

IMHO, you made a bad decision.

 

Love ya, Lori, but this is a +1. If you're looking for adult conversation, that departed this board a decade ago.

and, you would be quickly forgotten.

in the sports business, the quick move is to apologize even if you might not mean it, because the backlash becomes relentless as people seek their so-called pound of flesh. it's what doomed Tiger, i think, and has led to others reputations to be tarnished.

Tiger, however, failed to use the Galileo defense. somehow, i doubt that would've worked there either.

Excuse the !@#$ out of me for trying to develop what some people considered a decent resource for the site.
