I'm making the assumption that this is where your obviously hurt feelings toward me are coming from. Either that, or I said something that offended your feminine, little sensibilities at one point. Normally, I would go with the latter however, since you bring this up again at the end of your post, it's pretty safe to say that it was over an exchange in the past that didn't go well for you. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't perseverate on it. There would be no stimuli. That would have merely been a throwaway line to you. So I'm sorry that happened. I don't think this one is going any better for you, though.
See, this is you walking back the OP because you're aware that you walked into a buzz saw. There wasn't really much "light-hearted" about that. The words you're looking for to describe that post would be "passive aggressive." And, if that was a subtle diss, then you're even worse at subtlety than you are at comprehending what you're reading. Let's revisit it, shall we?
Perhaps story structure is not your thing, but you're putting spiteful next to loyal and passionate - two widely recognized positive attributes of human personality. This would seem to indicate that the addition of spiteful wasn't meant to be a "subtle jab" at all, but instead a way you see New England fans. I agree. However, it is literally impossible to be loyal to a guy while being spiteful toward him as well. Those two things cannot coexist. In the future, if you're going for subtlety, maybe add in something like "to their detriment" or "depending on the situation." I'd stay away from comedy, though. Keep whatever blue collar maintenance job you have.
But I agree that a lot of this fan base is spiteful. You see that with Brady and now Gronk. While we're on that subject, I also agree that those same fans don't possess a hint of loyalty toward either guy.
I didn't say anything about people not being true fans "because they're mad at Brady for leaving." See, that would be a straw man. I just made the blanket statement that Boston sports fans are fickle. Attendance and fan participation for our teams when they aren't competing will tell you that. I then made the point that you can't be loyal to a guy while being spiteful toward him at the same time. That's impossible. This is absolute trash reading comprehension. My post, for reference...
More fuel for the "verbally molested" fire with the bolded. Oh, and FYI, someone "misrepresenting your stance" is a straw man. I did nothing of the sort. Your post bears that out. You then mocking the poster while saying he was sick of Pats fans "rudely hating on players who have moved on" also bears that out.
Your comments after that state that you're rooting for Brady. Your defensive response to what was a blanket statement toward the part of the fan base that I consider spiteful and, therefore, fickle say otherwise. Your attempts to further walk that back after getting called on it are even more telling.
This is the strawman. Where in any of my posts did I indicate that I’m not supportive of Brady in his next chapter?
If you're supportive of him in his next chapter and are not the passionate, loyal, but spiteful fan that you claim Pats fans are, then why such a hostile reaction to a blanket statement about Pats fans being fickle? Why would you care so much, then, to get knee deep into this argument?
If you're spiteful, how are you rooting for him... exactly? Please spell that out for me. Because you included that description right next to "passionate" and "loyal." And please don't try to insult our intelligence by saying that was a subtle jab. That was a description of Boston sports fans as you see them, yourself included. Spiteful literally means "showing or caused by malice." So if you have malice toward a player that left, and think this is normal or average behavior for a fan base, how exactly can one root for the player? I'll save you an answer - they can't. They can only backtrack and say they can once they get caught with their pants down.
What?
Exactly. So you think that one can be petty and spiteful, but still be a fan specifically of a player who once played for your team. And you described a fan, specifically Boston sports fans, as being loyal, passionate, and somewhat spiteful. Now we return to my original point - if you're spiteful toward a player, you're not loyal to him. Spite is born out of malice while loyalty is born out of commitment (among others). Those two things literally cannot coexist. That you can't see this, and decided to turn my original response toward you (a blanket statement on a portion of the fan base), into an attack on your personally should be both telling and alarming to you.
You did. Your reading comprehension was horrific and you turned this into a personal matter. That is driven home by the fact that you've attacked me on a personal level several times up until this point where I haven't attacked you personally once. So yeah, that was definitely you. But hell, I have time today. I might as well end this post with a few insults back.
LMAO, who is weirder? The guy who made a blanket statement about the fan base being fickle and then pointed out that being loyal while being spiteful cannot coexist with one another, or the loser who is obviously butthurt about some sort of past interaction and decides to take it personally? I'd go with the loser who decides to take it personally. And, in absolutely comedic fashion, said loser is now getting verbally raped yet again. Let me guess, in another few months, I'll get another random and snarky passive aggressive reply that will then boil over?
I don't keep points in the least. Especially not for a mouth-breathing idiot like you. Having a good memory is merely of having a sharp mind. But I don't remember an encounter that would have your **** so salty. You're not memorable. Your posts don't resonate with me on any level. I told you that already. I was merely taking an educated guess on what your little **** was so salty. That you've decided to come back to that point again, at the end of your post (your conclusion) tells me all I need to know.
Or you could hang yourself with your size 42 belt in your closet. Either way, nobody cares.
You know what else is a heck of a goal? Thinking that 2006 - 2020 is a "few years."
If you think that's a few years, your parents should sue whoever your special education teacher was in whatever ghetto, rat-infested public school you were "taught" in, as I'm relatively certain you can't afford to sue anyone.
You're giving yourself too much credit. I don't keep track of ****posters who joined after they finally won another Super Bowl in 2015. You people don't stick around anyway when the going gets tough.
This is called projection. A typical response from someone who would angrily argue with someone they deem to be a "sad, little man." Your insults are about as trash as your reading comprehension. Go ice down your pus$y and take it easy.[/QUOTE]
