Apparently not...

No that is you that is assuming that it means he is demeaning a group. It is simply being used and meant as he is currently lacking the ability to see that the way he is viewing something (which is a product of experiences, nature/nurture, culture etc) is the right way, and that the way others view things is wrong, especially on a topic like Hockey, where it really is all opinion.

And the original post you were replying to, I used those two words, ego and ethnocentric. Hence since you did not dispute the former, then you must agree it is correct.

It's not opinion.
It's not being viewed from any other light than the quotes taken from eberles mouth.
They just happened to be almost verbatim to what was my opinion. Which due to that, became fact .

Literally the only somewhat reasonable counterpoint you have is that it doesn't necessarily affect all of them.
But aside from the fact that stating 'not all of them' is nothing more than a half measure to try and discredit an argument in some small way, and thus hoping to discredit fully, that Contention was never espoused anyway.

Ebs speaks for him and hall. We know this as fact from his words. Seeing as the core kids also includes nuge, one can infer him as well. And since they are the true lynchpins, no one else really matters in the discussion even if you were right.

It's clear as day man. And your attempts at twisting the argument into something it's not, or make it personal are plain to see for those of us who have the capacity to do so.

But the real crux is that you need to stop being a douche and let it go man.

Hi Jero!

The MacT love is strong in this one.

who cares about what happen here between fan's? I don't,what ever happens here stays here,people that don't agree with each other who cares,people that take jabs at each other here who cares,etc.
At the end is just a site to kill some time, real life is outside here......and I do hope that's the case for everyone or it would be a little sad to think some people needs this site as part of their real life Anyways I wasted enough time here, time to go out and do some Christmas shopping best time of the year!

sounds more like an excuse to troll people than a dose of reality.

There's also this thing called being an adult.

Is that what gets you off as part of your real life, going on message boards and attempting to get under people skin?
If that was the case, that would be Sad indeed....

Waiting for Car to warm up......what it's sad is people with a weak mind,words should never affect anyone unless those words are actually the truth of your personality, being an adult is got nothing to do how people want to behave here, people here could sound like piece of crap here but outside here could be the best person you could probably meet,so which one are you okay time to go and Go Oilers Go!

Your sad attempts at justifying an inherently juvenile and fairly ugly endeavour, all the while belittling those who might have an unfavourable response, are incredibly transparent.
Weak mind indeed.

Being a piece of crap here has an incredibly strong correlation of who you truly are. It's not someone else posting for you. In fact, they've done many tests with fairly conclusive evidence actually.
you don't get to pick and choose when to be a good person and when it doesn't count if you're not. You might have personal parameters of what those are, but this doesn't make it necessarily so.

Again, your attempts at justifying poor behaviour are way off the mark.

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone took your post as anything more than a subtle jab at those that called you out instead of the much deeper point you tried to convey. if your writing skills weren't so clumsy or you were perhaps abit more clever, your subtlety may not have come off like a jack hammer

Regardless of whether it's logical or not at this point it is way beyond irrelevant and now it's just a sickening obsession of the highest order. Way worse than rutts and that argument you guys were just stuck on.

Way worse??

Thats a huge call, cause this back and forth is mind numbingly idiotic

Content-wise it's more tolerable by a long shot.

But because it seems to be taken more seriously and has been going on for a lot longer (as far as I can tell) it is much more mentally perverse that it is still a thing. Especially how big of a thing it still is with some people...

Guess who's jumping to assumptions based off of what someone said/didn't say? The hypocrisy is beautiful

Oh good. So I did use enough emoticons in that last part, for you to get the intended irony/sarcasm.

No it really is opinion. Unless you can actually speak one on one to Ebs, Hall and "all of the kids", and they all tell you as you put it, that their confidence is weak, and fragile, and that it was going to break with a couple more losses this season, then everything you state based off of an interview you saw of Eberle, which I believe you said was in reference to the WHC, is simply your view or "opinion" of what you took from it.

As far as making this personal? When did I ever make it personal? Quite to the contrary on several occasions when I presented logical reasons as to why there is no proof, and challenged you. Your rebuttals have included insults about my age and time I chose to go to post secondary, my career choice, as well as a mockery of the level of that education, based on the fact you know 3 other nurses. So who is making it personal?

And let it go. Quite frankly I am enjoying the discussion. Are you asking me to let it go, because you feel you are incapable of not responding, or blowing things out of proportion every time I make a joke on the subject?

True dat A_O. Saddly though, this medium is becoming real life for many people today. Somehow a username on a chat site, has become part of their identity. Make sure you buy me something nice when you are out shopping.

You know that not all people behave and act the same way on an internet chat board, hiding behind a made up name, as they do in public when they are putting their personal and "real" selves out there. Just because Alex_Oil is somewhat mischievous, likes to laugh and joke and has a positive outlook, doesn't make him any less of a mature adult, than anyone else. And going off on a mini little rant insulting the guy isn't helping your case for being one.

wow

Well if simply pointing out things that have transpired during our discussions makes me a d-bag, then so be it. It's nice to see that when a little recap is brought up, your only response is name calling. Keep em coming though. I appreciate the love.
