It looks like I have well and truly rattled your cage. I do not say that I am right. I am simply illustrating why I have taken the view that I have taken. It is entirely up to you whether you accept that view and my reasoning for holding it. I am sure that you will be only too happy to throw my comments back in my face when we go on to win the Championship under JM. Frankly, only time is going to prove me right for asking those questions, or wrong for even contemplating them and I do not think there is much to gain by debating whether my reasoning is logical or not.
I'm a right b______d aren't I. You know what I do when I think someone is not worth the bother of a reply. I don't reply.
And here's another one who should really be ignoring me, but never passes up an opportunity to tell me what a b---------d I am.
Genuinely not rattled at all. I merely said challenging other peoples view and opinions was a two way street and that a lot of your response came across as presumptuous with not a great deal of factual content.
Seems I have rattled your cage. I never said you were a *******. For someone supposedly so keen on debate you have just let yourself down. The mask slips. Tell me why I'm wrong about you.
Given that you usually are annoyed at posts being aimed at personality rather than evidence I think this one is a bit odd. The personality in question though is your own. This is a post about you. I commend the fact that you have a high opinion of yourself but not that you are willing to see the worst in virtually everything else,
Fair enough, but I did not see any facts in your reply either. It seems to me that we both relied on our experiences to guide us.
What experiences are you relying on here? I'd suggest you are relying on your prejudies and nothing else.
An easy answer after being challenged. I personally enjoy reading your posts - and then attempting to engage in debate about them. Mostly futile like.
If you start debating what I say and not why I might have said it or what sort of person I might be, then you will find me a much more willing debater.
I responded with: - Challenging peoples views works both way. [seems factual] - Not all management jobs are equally as challenging [seems factual - could technically be challenged] - You expanded on a interviewers question with additional questions. I said you were being presumptuous as to what the interviewer intended by his initial question. [seems factual]. - You made a comment about the coaches and management speaking in Portuguese in front of the players and that this would be bad for morale. I said this was presumptuous. [again seems factual]
This now seems to be more about you and I than it is about the subject of my original post. If that is the case then I am quite happy to declare you the winner. I put some ideas out there that I thought people may want to discuss in an amicable fashion. I was wrong. Fair enough.
Debate on your terms. Marvellous. Debate is taking one persons point of view and providing a counter argument. You consistently refuse to engage when this happens which can only lead me to conclude that “the type of person” you are influences this. I have “debated” what you’ve said. I’ve questioned how you reach those opinions. The opinions and conclusions we all come to are fed from what “kind of people” we are. Therefore they are part of the debate. What are the motivators behind posting what is posted? That is quite often the question. Such as why do you feel the need to decry almost anything the new owners do and the pull apart a bloke on tenuous grounds? My conclusion is rooted in what I “know” about you. You’re afraid of this being a success as it casts doubt on your world view that no one can possibly make BFC a success and no one can possibly want to be part of the club or the town for anything other than malevolent reasons. Case in point; I’ve frequently suggested to you that owning BFC is a gateway for the new owners to capitalise on the potential not only of the club but of the wider region too. You never acknowledge nor counter this. I’ve also suggested a phenomenon know as Chinese Soft Power - again you have refused to engage in looking at this and instead remain steadfast that no good can come of it.
