We generally see eye to eye or almost Reno. I just noticed there is a typo in my original post--I meant to say there was NO single reason why EDD bolted, though it became apparent much later that she was running away from basketball as much as running home. In the last year plus there has been a growing trend here for a vocal minority to get preachy about what they consider the proper view and then jump on the dissenters rather vigorously. Think it reached its apex in the whole go round about KML's level of fitness, weight, body type.
Just feel we can have a lively debate without rancor.
I love a lively debate. A debate where we can agree to disagree. We can debate whether the glass is half full, or half empty. One's opinion on such a topic (any topic) depends on one's
perception. When you share a thought or comment on THIS thread, you are subject to get ripped.
No matter how innocent or well meaning your comment may be, often (not always) there will be someone that will take you to task, and question you motive(s) and view point. You can
always argue opinions. You
cannot argue facts. Facts speak for themselves. They need no interpretation.
It is what it is.
Many will disagree with that premise, and try to argue facts. I think we can agree that some folks like to argue just for the sake of argument, because they're right, and we're wrong. Their viewpoint is the only correct one, and any other view point is wrong.
This concept can be seen nightly on any Fox news or CNN program that features political analysts from opposite sides of the aisle sharing their particular opinion on any given topic.
I learned that with the very first comment I posted here. This surprised me because this thread is a lot more civil than the one I was weaned on. No monitors there, no holds barred. Personal attacks and vulgarity was the order of the day. If you were a regular, after a while, you became numb to it, and just rolled with the punches.
What made it fun, was that there were a lot of fans (posters) from other teams that hated UConn and it's fans, and had no problem letting us know about it. Geno was constantly (daily) vilified there. They accused him of being the anti-Christ, and the cause of everything from the war in the Middle East, to global warming.
We're all familiar with the old saying that "opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one".
I'm a firm believer that everyone has the right to their own opinion, whether others agree with it or not. I like to read the comments and thoughts of others.
I don't have to like or agree with their takes, nor do I feel compelled to respond in most cases.
This is not a jab at those who do, Just my own personal position. Everyone is grown here. Most of us are not going to be moved from our opinion because someone disagrees with us.
We are ALL the sum total of our experiences up to this point in our lives. Because we all come from different back grounds, we see, hear and filter things differently. Sometimes when I read posts like the one's on this topic, I find it interesting how some readers can read something, and misinterpret what the poster was implying, or the thought he/she was trying to convey.
That being said, I'm sure someone will read
this post , and have a problem with the contents of this observation, which is nothing more than
an opinion. I'll be shocked if I don't get at least one dissenting response.
