You don't know more about my team than I do, and I doubt you've followed them as long as I have, which would date back to the Aguirre-Blackman-Motta days. You really should work on the haughty arrogance part, it's not merited.

I didn't say it like that word for word, but that's been my argument. Pity that you would rather pick a fight than let it pass without comment.

Check out my reply to CryHavoc. I never said that anything Dwight Howard has done doesn't make him a Christian.

You were factually wrong then ("Mavs were a contender when Cuban took over") and you're wrong now ("You're calling Howard a Christian in Name Only"). Same tune, different verse. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you used to have the phrase "Mavericks fan owner" underneath your screenname? Aren't you the guy who treats every Mavs fan, no matter how reasonable they are, as 12 yr old girls in pink Josh Howard jerseys?

.

A strawman argument is responding to the argument that is easier to refute than the one the other person actually made. That's what you did here and that's what you do repeatedly.

You've refuted the argument you assigned to me, not the argument I actually made.

No, I didn't. Did I edit my post? Did I delete it? I stand by what I said in post #57. I can't help it if you either have problems parsing it or you want to twist it so you can once again "put the Mavericks fan in his place" and let them know that Obstructed View "owns."

But that would be boring and wouldn't give you an opportunity to pick a fight, so you did this instead.

That IS a mistake on my part, I typed it out at the end of a long reply rather than go back and copy and paste, but the substance is the same. Do you understand what paraphrasing is?

Most of my statements center around responding to two original posters who claimed that Howard had a moral problem with weed smokers and was very similar to David Robinson. Partying with pornstars doesn't make him a hypocrite about his faith, it just demonstrates that he's not a prude and he doesn't have the same situational ethics as David Robinson. I suspect you can grasp this but you'd rather just argue. Posting some articles about his faith from ESPN doesn't address either of those claims. It's pretty much irrelevant.

Ad hominem. Excellent. And you accuse others of having no class. Translation: "I am out of rhetorical ammo and am losing the argument."

Who is we? How many people do you speak for? I'm a Mavs fan on a Spurs board. The more rabid of Spurs homers here cough*OV* cough are never going to be nice or respectful to a Mavs fan, no matter what. I can live with that. That's the price I pay for coming here. There are others who like to talk hoops and NBA and are respectful as long as you don't talk smack. Which group do you think you're in?

2 things I've learned from you in this thread:

Two individuals are different. (Shocker! Thanks for imparting such radical knowledge to this group.)

And David Robinson is a prude. Unless you were implying something else?

Either way... :lol
