Ha, So you are upset that you and Kieran got outed in an unrelated thread and so you are taking a low blow.
Upset? Hardly. You took a shot, I took one back. It's that simple. You think it's a "low blow"? Lol, you call this a "low blow" then say I'm upset? I say "X person conveniently didn't comment" and it's a low blow? God, I dread what happens if I actually deliver a low blow.

1. I neither raised hell nor wrote pages and pages about a freaking celebration. I posted just one message and you and Kieran took offence to it and trying to argue against it and so I responded. If you guys had let go of a reasonable post, it would not have grown to multiple pages in the first place.
I challenge anybody to go through that thread and they will clearly see that.
You argued with Kieran, not with me. I made one comment saying you're interpreting it some way and treating it as a fact. Then you went 4 pages with Kieran where you wouldn't shut up about it. That's some "fact checking" for you.

2. If you don't want to be outed, it is pretty simple. Stop arguing that black is white. Tignor clearly wrote that Rafa indulged in excessive celebration. You may or may not agree with that. But, both you and Kieran were trying to argue that that is not what Tignor said.
Again, I didn't try to argue $hit. I said "you're the king of making convenient interpretations and treating them like facts," and you ignored the second bit of what Tignor said about what this victory meant for Nadal, which implies justification for his overreaction. What I also said that it's obnoxious for someone who hasn't competed a day in his life at that level to tell a player how much or how little they should be happy with a victory. That was the extent of my contribution. Again, "fact checking," as you so eloquently put it.
Also, and much more importantly, I don't care about being "outed." I'll gladly get called out and dish it out in return. I think you should know that by now. I'm actually the last person to be offended. I'll just respond in kind. If I were offended I'd go to the mods. But I seem to be the only person around here, mods included, who understands that the internet is a place where people disagree, and can be hostile or aggressive doing it, and that everyone should in theory understand that, and they know what they're signing up for when they're on the internet.
But hey, maybe I'm just crazy.

3. You are assuming that I claim that this is less grave. I never claimed that. I don't have to post 100 messages here just to prove that. I don't post messages at your beck and call. I will post messages when I want and what I want.
.
This about the dumbest thing you could have said (shocking, I know) because it proves my point. You claim "you're not here 24/7" yet you'll be the first to post pages and pages about "what you want and when you want," which is usually something akin to Nadal giving a fan an extra firm hand shake that might have hurt the poor fan's index finger... and proceed to compare it to corruption, PED's, and other atrocities. So yeah, you're going to get called out on that. Don't be upset for being "outed."

4. Sure, I surely did not post messages condemning various atrocities going on in the world, in the what is going on in the world thread. There is so much going on with ISIS, AlQuaida, Civil war in Syira, Boko Haram, Nigeria etc. I have not posted any message condemning these things. Hence, I must think all of these are less grave than Rafa celebrating excessively.
I take it back, this is the dumbest thing you could have said. This is a tennis forum and I'm calling you out for not commenting on a tennis related thing when you're usually so willing to do it when it's convenient and it suits you (ie when it pertains to Nadal). The above paragraph is the very definition of a logical fallacy, which is your specialty. This has nothing to do with anything. When you accused me of double standards in the Brady thread, it was because it's a related issue (sport). ISIS, Boko Haram and similar stuff isn't. Can't believe you actually went there.
And yeah, I'm aware there's a "world events/news/political" section (ie a place for Cali to make himself look like an even bigger idiot).

Boy, you need to get a life and get real as well. Argues Black is White and then gets upset for getting outed and indulges in low blows. :cover:cover:cover
Just wondering, is it against the rules to ask people to get a life? I mean, that seems like a commentary on their personal life, of which said poster knows nothing about. If calling people out for not commenting on something tennis related is antagonizing behavior, does this count as one as well?
And no, it's not cause I'm offended. It's more like I want to be able to keep up with all these rules that are seemingly being figured out on the fly and quite arbitrarily...just to be on my best behavior, of course.
