WotAGuy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Is that you Sully? Please don't sully my reputation (such as it is). .
gumby Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Sullivan is an old bleeding heart liberal who sees everything according to race. He said so himself a few years back when he was on WGR. Problem is his views are from 40 years ago and his questions show how out of touch he is with the modern world.
Andrew Son Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Not hard at all. What you describe is me. I was just wondering why people would want to hide the fact they are reading a certain writer's stuff. The post in question said "if you hate them both as much as I do" and then went on to describe a method for continuing to read the hated writer's pieces without the website owner's knowledge. I find that odd, maybe childish, that's all. Maybe because they know that the writer is evaluated by "clicks" and they would prefer said writer be fired for a better alternative? Still hard to understand?
WotAGuy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Maybe because they know that the writer is evaluated by "clicks" and they would prefer said writer be fired for a better alternative? Still hard to understand? Then why not just not read his stuff? Don't go to the page with his article. Doesn't that accomplish the same end purpose? If you want him fired, why are you reading his stuff and trying to hide that fact?

I'm sure you understand and are just being difficult
PastaJoe Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 @TBNSully I'd like to take a moment to thank all the people out there who think I'm the worst reporter around and should retire, but still follow me.

You're welcome sully. People would follow anyone if they covered the bills. You're not special, just lucky
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 You're welcome sully. People would follow anyone if they covered the bills. You're not special, just luckyactually I think some people follow him because they like to laugh at him. Unless he is paid by number of follows, I'm surprised he cares how many he has. I don't follow him, but I do follow people who reply to him or RT him so I see some of his eye roll worthy takes anyway.

I block all of their cookies. It prevents them from telling me I have already read 10 articles this month. If you want him fired, why are you reading his stuff and trying to hide that fact? I will try to use baby words so you understand .... All links do not use the sully name in link, some are redirects to those articles and many articles posted on sites such as TwoBillsDrive.com have no identification that it is a Sullivan, etc article just the website hosting articles.

Mr. WEO Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 may i suggest you have some familiarity with the concept? I don't mind one bit Weo ! I always enjoy the Devils advocate in dialogue. Its a necessary evil. ; ) It's not just being a devil's advocate. It's questioning the group mindthink---"Sully bad, I will not even look at what he writes because he's bad and I disagree with his viewpoint often". Why anyone would get this worked up about a character like Sully is odd. Why someone would go as far as to block themselves from even seeing what another person writes because you don't like them is beyond my ability to comprehend. This is akin to leaving the room when a certain character/actor you don't "like" comes onscreen in a TV show. Maybe because they know that the writer is evaluated by "clicks" and they would prefer said writer be fired for a better alternative? Still hard to understand? Does anyone really believe that Sully's current and future employment at TBN is dependent on clicks?

There's a groupthink among some Bills fans that anyone who criticizes the Bills are heretics. Because 16 years of average to poor results and no playoffs doesn't justify critical opinions. Their motto is, "Thank you sir, may I have another."
What a Tuel Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) your stealing money Jerry, wtf are you at the super bowl for? Why is he at the Super Bowl, and how did the BN scrape up the money to send him there? I'd be pissed if I were his co-workers. There's a groupthink among some Bills fans that anyone who criticizes the Bills are heretics. Because 16 years of average to poor results and no playoffs doesn't justify critical opinions. Their motto is, "Thank you sir, may I have another." I think the problem is not with his opposing view point, but that his viewpoint is usually BS that is created to stir up unnecessary controversy in order to gain attention. It is his job, but that doesn't mean we have to like it or think it is good insight. I think both of you are looking past the fact that the people who want Sully gone, are likely hoping he is replaced by someone else who is better able to write about the Bills.

It's almost like getting worked up enough to respond to people who get worked up about Sully

Pot meet kettle. 16 years, no playoffs means everything the Bills do is dumb or stupid. Don't tell me anything positive because 16 year playoff drought means everything sucks. I've got yer groupthink right here.

If you are able to free yourself of the shackles of "groupthink" you will be able to see that sully is basically the second coming of Shakespeare
Mr. WEO Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 It's not something he's evaluated by? I don't think his job is dependent on it at this point in his tenure. Like it or not, he's an institution over there. It's almost like getting worked up enough to respond to people who get worked up about Sully There are no threads started for that....yet there weekly there is "I hate Sully" thread, as though each one offers a unique take that all the others have not. So no, it's not like that at all. C'mon Promo, I think they are on to something! If you are able to free yourself of the shackles of "groupthink" you will be able to see that sully is basically the second coming of Shakespeare You are pretending to miss the point. No one has said anything like that or even claimed Sully was a decent writer.
