Gugny Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Hey you want to make up stuff go right ahead. Not my position to say otherwise. Is it me, or are you arguing with someone in every single active conversation you've got going?
NoSaint Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Is it me, or are you arguing with someone in every single active conversation you've got going? it seems angrily, and without substance, in general.
Doc Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Like I said, give them a take-it-or-leave it offer, which they will likely leave, make him play for $6.9M for the year and leave the option open for frachising him for just $8.28M next year, which is still a bargain compared to giving him $9M/year and $23M guaranteed.

These are forums that is what you do in forums. What do you want me to do agree with things that are wrong? I don't know what you are trying to get at here other then you trolling right now.

NoSaint Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 like my mini-me atleast you occasionally have lucid posts!

Ralph W.

I don't understand what you are talking about did I do something to wrong you? Edited June 19, 2013 by EJ3

Ralph W. Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 nothing, but seems like you've rankled some folks i like on this board, so thought i'd ask the question. jw Nope just a disagreement on some things. If they take it personal then I am sorry but these are forums and people don't agree with everything on here.

The same can be said for the people that argue with me they have the same chance to be agreeable. Anyway none of that matters since we won't hear anymore about his till he either signs or July 15.

NoSaint Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Nope just a disagreement on some things. If they take it personal then I am sorry but these are forums and people don't agree with everything on here. ill take the time to elaborate - i cant speak for everyone but ive seen some similar comments directed towards you in several threads..... it seems you bust in simply with "no your wrong" but not a lot of substance behind it. it doesnt bring a lot to the discussion, and when people bring contradictory points to discuss your response often seems to amount to "yea but your wrong" and it often comes across as arguing for the sake of just being right, instead of discussion. you dont have to agree with anyone, but if you can put together well thought out reasoning behind your opinions you will probably see people receive you better. youll still butt heads with people, as do all of us, but i think youll gain some respect for atleast backing up your opinion instead of just saying "whatever" Someone tells me an apple is an orange I am not going to agree with him just so he can talk about it. The same can be said for the people that argue with me they have the same chance to be agreeable. no one wants you to say an apple is an orange, but im pretty sure if you acknowledge that there isnt a RIGHT or WRONG answer in a lot of these discussions, and you can say "this is actually a different type of fruit in my opinion because..." and finish out with a reasonable explanation you will fit into the crowd a bit better.

Delete This Account Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Someone tells me an apple is an orange ... and yet, they're both fruit. now, i could see your point if it was say,"nuts and gum," "potatoes and petunias," "peaches and pork" or "hogs and moon rocks." now those, you have to admit, have a little bit less in common, and far more open to debating. jw

So I will say I don't know exactly what you're talking about. I agree with other people and provide information on other instances. I guess though since I am new here people want to attack the guy that doesn't think like them. Sad really.

I agree with other people and provide information on other instances. I guess though since I am new here people want to attack the guy that doesn't think like them. Sad really. most of us disagree pretty regularly. if you want to be a martyr over it, so be it. ive seen a variety of people comment on your posting style, and have also noticed it myself. you come off abrasive for the sake of being right, instead of like you are having a discussion with a group of peers. not every post, but many of them.

Ralph W. Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) most of us disagree pretty regularly. if you want to be a martyr over it, so be it. See exactly what I was getting at that would happen if I respond. How do I intelligently answer this without getting bashed by the home crowd. It's lose lose being the new guy I understand that but it doesn't mean I need to agree with something for the sake of it. Why is it my fault if someone wants to argue with me.

NoSaint Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) See exactly what I was getting at. we do regularly disagree. theres no one i agree with on this board 100% but when you say "everyones bashing me for being the new guy...." well.... if you dont see it, i was just trying to bridge the gap a bit. feel free to burn it all you want. How do I intelligently answer this without getting bashed by the home crowd. It's lose lose being the new guy I understand that. plenty of new guys come in here and bump straight to the top of the credibility list. a simple "hmmmm ive been trying to make sure i do this, so im not sure what you are talking about" is far less abrasive then "whatever, everyones just picking on the new guy cause i think different and am right" Edited June 19, 2013 by NoSaint
Ralph W. Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 How about this thread get back to Byrd and not how much you hate the things I say.
K-9 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) How about this thread get back to Byrd and not how much you hate the things I say. Good idea. Byrd is an apple. The Bills are an orange. What kind of juice they make remains to be seen. GO BILLS!!! Edited June 19, 2013 by K-9
