I don't post for virtue or hold that its important to have every comment be credible on a hockey messageboard. Its clear, I think, when I'm shooting hyperbole or just getting some venting out like everybody here does. If you hold me to some different standard than you hold others to then thats on you. You're selective in these kinds of replies to me and said nothing to the other poster that was calling the club "entitled Assholes" or that the club has "bs Culture" or that the club was "embarrasing" last season and that the team has "shitty leadership".
Indeed all kinds of hyperbole exists here and is constant, and again everybody having those days. Is it that I make specific player comments that is the reason for these interventions by you? I used to defend Nurse here in earlier seasons but he no longer deserves that, defense. Skinner its unlikely he wins me over and the comments will keep coming and hockey players are public game. I respect good to great players that have value. I tend to deride players that do not add much to a club.
Finally I'll state what I have before. Public figures are free game. No rules exist here that we can't diss players within reason. The rules are around that we don't do that with other posters. But to the small segment of posters here that think referring to Skinner as fat (he is for a hockey player pro athlete) you sure wouldn't have wanted to see the dozen posters that used to call former goalie, Roloson, a pedophile, and would suggest that they dislike him and don't trust him because he looks like a pedophile. Those comments were offensive, they crossed lines imo, you think I crossed a line calling Skinner fat or a clown after a game in which he was abysmal giving up 5 goals in 13 shots. In a game in which Skinner himself said he would want back and that the loss and goals against were on him. Its nice that you feel that way but I'll post in my own way and somebody will dislike that and others will be fine with it.
