Wow, another thread hijacked by Plotsie for the sake of his ego.

Man up? Give me a break.

This is the most logically contorted piece of nonsense I've read in many a year. Methinks jplotinus has been slugging down some Tennessee moonshine on his trips to ole Rocky Top.

Logical contortion? Perhaps. I can name a number of current examples of logical contortion that are being used to justify a number of unfortunate realities. Can you?

Here, try a sip of my moonshine :-)

No, DD, I am not hijacking the thread. I am commenting on the Moshak discrimination case, its implications for UT and beyond and I am replying to comments directed towards me that make incorrect assumptions.

Man up, DD.

Do your own fighting, instead of trotting Ahnold out all the time. :-)
 
Uh, JP - if it was a great hot bed of activism for equal pay, and progress was being made in that direction, it might be exciting for recruits and fans. Right now it seems to be a morass of traditionalism that is driving out loyal staff who have been mainstays of the UT WBB program for years.

If I was a recruit, a parent of a recruit, or someone being interviewed for Morshak's now open position, I would be leery to say the least. The old boys seem firmly in control at the top right now. Look at the body count.

If that is your claim and if you are sticking with it, then what you posted was vague, unclear. Is that what you intended?

By way of one example, after listing a number of staff changes, you concluded the post in question with:

"This ain't your momma's Tennessee"

So, "change" versus "status quo" was close on to explicit based on the ordinary meaning of words you used. The quoted phrase was therefore understood to be based on the Oldsmobile use of "not your fathers olds" that was used as a slogan to overcome Oldsmobile's image as being outdated, staid, timid, etc.

It d'int work. Olds went out of business.

It appeared that was the tenor of your post, to which I replied.

Oh, one other thing, I assume this still won't make sense to you and that you'll re-post for the third time your funny video. Am I correct?

Maybe you should ask me what I meant. It certainly wasn't that. But you went off half cocked (probably a physical problem) and responded based on what you thought I meant and not what I actually meant.

Just with Pat gone, it's not your momma's Tennessee.

You are a piece of work.

Really? Man up? Is that it?

I have no dog in this fight.( no pun intended- well maybe a little) but isn't that a lot like the pot calling the kettle the kettle black?

Hope you know that my comment was meant as a friendly gesture, DD. I always enjoy reading your posts.

Yeah, I can understand trying to placte DD. None of us want him to get into such a snit that he runs off and doesn't post up game analyses. They are valuable.

On the other hand, too bad he d'int take you up on your offer to serve as corner. With you in that role, I might have eased up and cut him some slack. But, alas, he has fled the scene in a huff. That is a pity :-)

For those who've never looked up the definition of a troll:

"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[6]"

The wiki page continues with several additional segments, including this one:

"Application of the term troll is subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. Like any pejorative term, it can be used as an ad hominem attack, suggesting a negative motivation."

I wonder how one could quantify their regards as being "best"....that also applied to "warm" regards, "kind" regards

Just throwing that out into the ether....10 word maximum response or less is preferred.

I've had my moments. Obviously you are not a fan.

I'm the site administrator. I get to decide who is upsetting the board, i.e a troll.

As to Nan, sincerely sorry and will try to do better.

However, Rady, as to you it's more like this one:

if it looks like a duck, if it smells like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, odds are it's a duck.

I call a duck a "duck"

Now if he could only get the predictions right. Easy enough to pick the winner but I wouldn't bet a DD spread. :)
