Isn’t that just the problem with the internet today? Everyone is just debating with each other. Is there no space for those just wishing to express their opinions and exploring their differences together while leaving room for conflicting perspectives to exist, acknowledged and uncontested?

Sorry man, if you can't see how your response prompted these comments from others there's no where to go with this.
True.It was never a debate.

You're wrong and you should feel bad that you're wrong. I'm compelled to point out the fact that you are wrong so that you can acknowledge and accept it. And in doing so I win.

I mean, the whole reason people responded negatively is because the poster took a non-existent angle just to denigrate the player. That's annoying and deserves the shit it got.

Honestly, I was just trying this whole quoting and changing the subject thing on for size, since I was recently informed I mustn’t do it; contrarian as I am.
/checks head, chest, balls, and butt…
I am indeed still in this plane of existence. Seems to be possible.

What if you aren't? What if this is all just a Matrix-style simulation and you're just a brain in a jar?

… I checked, there are indeed spoons. But they all look like this:
Silver lining: I’m looking forward to wearing a trench coat. All my life I’ve wanted to wear a trench coat at least one time, but Bay Area weather gives me no cause to do so without looking ridiculous. Oh, I’m giddy with excitement! When does Keanu get here?
Exactly... It was more the response that he couldn't see why the comment got flak. Just admit you misunderstood the initial quote and move on. Not a hill worth dying on.

What the deuce
Hahah the smelling salts part was great
Let's just go over the recap.
1. DW Jr. jokes about Weatherby being in good shape.
2. Speaking of Weatherby, I don't think he's a good prospect, also broad comment about scouts talking up players.
3. DW Jr. never talked about his play.
4. I know, I did, I don't think he's a good prospect.
5. Yeah, but DW Jr. never said anything about his play.
6. I know, but I still don't think he's a good prospect.
7. DW Jr. never said anything about his play.
8. This is getting weird.
9. How are you still not getting that DW Jr. never said anything about his play?
10. We can move on now.
11. This guy is still misunderstanding the original quote and he shouldn't be critical of players.
12.
I'm not going any further with this because it's a total waste of time, but it had its moments.

Your reply is the only thing that's weird here.
So now you're just going to completely misrepresent your initial response that I quoted previously? And I certainly never said you can't criticize players. You clearly took issue with DWjr 'talking up his player' for being in shape.
"I understand talking up your players but Weatherby is almost 24 and has no history of dominant play relative to players his own age."
"His height and weight have little to no bearing on his ability to play at the highest level."
" I just think it’s so odd to talk up a guy who is 5 years older than a lot of the prospects."
If you had said, "sure he's big and in shape but I don't think he's a future NHLer", I doubt anyone bats an eye. Instead, you acted confused that DW was "talking up his player" when he was simply answering a question and adding in a joke. Obviously you've decided to just fein ignorance on all this so by all means, you do you.

I've always underestimated how much communication there is out there on the ice. Its similar to football, basketball, fast moving sports where guys are constantly talking to each other. I love seeing that. Eks, Bordeleau and Coe on a line should always be a thing.

This. It was clearly a response taking DW Jr to task for possibly overrating the player when there was no such thing in the quote.

And then you wake up in your bed...
...except this was all a lie and you're actually a guy named Steve from Irvine who's a diehard Ducks fan with a signed Corey Perry standee in your den and you curse your newfound existence.
