"Death threats are cowardly"
There, that's my first comment...not yeah, well one thing leads to another. Where did I say he should have expected death threats and get over it and not mention it to the media?
If he received death threats, he should call the police.
If he's going to tell a team he's glad to play for them and they use a high pick, and then he turns around and refuses to have any contact with them whatsoever, he should know he's going to take a lot of grief from that organization and it's fans.
That's all I've said.... not "Death threats are fine cause he scorned the Flyers".
And please don't tell me which part of what topic it's ok for me to respond to.
If you find that to be below your conversational esteem, then we'll just go our separate ways. I've said my piece.
Probably the last I'll say about it too, but you chimed in in response to my reply to someone who basically said that Cutter is a diva for telling the media he was getting death threats, implying that he should just get over it and implied that his being upset about receiving death threats is indicative of mental issues that will cause him to bust.
Your response did start with death threats are bad but you continued with, essentially, "but what Cutter did is cowardly too, just a different kind of cowardly"
If you hadn't said that in response to what I said, and just griped that Cutter's behavior was cowardly outside of the context of death threats, I'd have nothing to say to you because it would be no different than the hundreds of other posts and tweets saying the same thing. By drawing the relation between death threats and Gauthier spurning the team that drafted him, especially in text form that presents at least the appearance of deflection or whataboutism if not straight up implication that death threats were deserved or should be expected and dealt with quietly.
I really don't have a different way to explain it any other way aside from what I've already said. It has nothing to do with restricting what parts of my post you get to respond to or holding myself up to some exalted conversational esteem.
My explaining why you're missing my point is not me claiming I'm better than you. Just trying to clarify a disconnect.
