They can be very useful and save time tho, can't they? It wasn't dismissive at all, I often go on ST when I take a short break, especially since I stopped smoking, sometimes I go deeper in analysis, sometimes I don't find it necessary when a cple words can sum up my thought.
And I really think the confusion between correlations and causations, is the source of 99% of debates and is very hard for anyone to get out when stuck in it.
I should have mentioned that I wasn't talking about you, who indeed stays bb and don't recall attacking ppl, my bad.
But context matters and you asked me "what happened?", honesty not much, I'm the same, I like brainstorming sometimes and it triggers some in here when it's just freaking basketball
I've been patient, been diplomatic but at some point why should I make any effort towards bullies who insult around like they breathe? I'm not victimizing myself (I know some will be quick to conclude that ^^), just being pragmatic.
I don't think it weird, I think it should only be that way, that's how intelligence works, by confronting and doubting what the general consensus is. Not by alwasy finding silver linnings.
Like on other topics, those ARE JUST WORDS, there is no justification to be triggered or getting all emo towards any pov even the one you consider the stupidest. We've all been on ST for years, we all have a decent aount of stupid predictions, one would think it'd bring more humility but no... some still hold the truth it seems.
I'm a Spurs fan since the late 90' bro and I'll die one whoever plays for them, criticizing players or FO's decisions doesn't mean I'm a hater.
When I said (I know that one got a lot of u pissed^^) that MAYBE Wemby didn't end up in the right franchise or MAYBE entertaining a trade wouldn't be absurd (In Spurs inerests), it's not hating, it's a lot more interestng than u think but u need to actually take some distance from ur naural "emotional" position of fan.
An other example, last season I went on Vassell pre ASG bc of his limitations and fragility, boy I got attacked from all over the place with "the worst take of all time", "Wemby stan" etc
Not only my pov evolved post ASG because facts changed (Vassell vastly improved his at ude and game)but today I might be in the minority to defend him as most Spurs fans don't seem to realise what we could lose in term of shooting.
Again, I come here to chill and exchange pov, there aren't any that should be held, the same way (sorry to digress but it's related) even if you despise racists or conservatives, those should be able to express their pov as extrem or idiotic they could be. There isn't another way to get better at something that making mistakes/being wrong first.
What's the worst case scenario? That they're wrong? Is it worth all the insultS and constant aggressivity towards some posters in here? (not even talking about me be what i'm seing like "koriwhat" being presented as a horrible human being when I'm still waiting to see any proof of it).
