Anyone is free to discuss the issues at hand.
As you know there are many heated discussion here in the NBA Forum but one thing I have noticed is that some posters, I won't say any names (Amuseddaysleeper) seem to move the goalposts in their arguments, even after they've been clearly owned in their original argument.
Some people, including me, have no problem being proven wrong on my original assertion and then living to fight another day. Other people just don't see it that way.
For example, there are some posters here that said "Bosh>>>>>Amare" before the season started and even after Amare has proven to be a dark horse MVP candidate and Bosh is all but forgotten in Miami, these guys refuse to admit they're wrong by moving the goalposts in their argument saying stuff like "well I really didn't mean it, honest!" or "Bosh>Amare by a little bit is what I meant all along!"
So with the topic at hand feel free to discuss the ethical issues of having arguments in the NBA forum in regards to whether it's ok to move the goalposts in an argument. While the answer is clearly "No" feel free to discuss these issues anyway.
