I worked with an Australian military organization once. When we went into planning teams, I was warned about those who “cut the tall poppies.” People who came into groups with no real original ideas and just cut others down.
You joined this site in 2021 but went back four years before you joined to cherry pick times I was wrong. You say the “countless times” I was wrong. Did you take the time to go all the way back to 2009 and take a tally? You found 4 times I was wrong and highlighted it. Pretty disingenuous. Did you check to see when I was right, or just found 4 times I was wrong?
I came across as “smug” to you and you went back years to cut me down. I’ve been on this site for a long time. I don’t think many would characterize me as “smug.”
If I really wanted to be “smug” I could write a ton more about places I go and people I meet in the hockey world. Even more so with football. I don’t appeal to authority, just explain why I think the way I do and what influenced it. If that means I say “here’s what I learned from x person,” I say so. It leads to some good discussions.
You didn’t like what I wrote and thought I was being “smug,” and decided to cut me down, and put a pretty good effort in to do so. You might think that makes you look smart and me look dumb. Really, as people read this, they know exactly what they’re getting from you.

You came into an argument all high & mighty with the patronizing "I was right about these guys" but low and behold you've been wrong a ton. Could've mentioned how much you shit on Montour. How high you were on Cal Foote. Some doozies in there. None of it matters though. You can go back and see me shitting on Stutzle. I was wrong. I could care less.
You seem to really care a lot about being perceived a certain way on here. That's why someone posting some pictures of old takes has got you upset. You want to be viewed as an expert, but the takes hurt that image a bit.

I'm amazed at how you don't think responding to an argument with "I'm knowledgeable & I'm right" isn't smug.
YOU WENT BACK YEARS. Listen to yourself dude. It's embarrassing. Takes minutes to search your name & for takes to pop up. I'm glad they added the feature. So many posters that huff the smell of their own farts. Now we can see how "right" they've actually been.

Nobody cares. I have NHLers in my family. Some who have won multiple Stanley cups. I've been around hockey my entire life. None of that is relevant to the topic. If I said Dahlin was a poor IQ player I better show something to prove it. Not some lecture about how I went to dinner with Lindy Ruff a few times.

Again you take this stuff way too seriously. You got some criticism. Your retort was just personal irrelevant stories. You never showed anything why. No film. No metrics.
It's just how you operate on here. Very patronizing when someone disagrees with you.
