If we are following the logic of Friar fans like
@FriarJ and
@Billy Jack , the reason that bookies and the computer rankings don't like Providence is because of a post I made two months ago.
Not exactly.
But you could have instead pointed them to your update on 1/9, which indisputably projected Providence at 14-6.
Maybe, a response like, "Initially, I was too hasty & conclusive, which turned out to be wrong" would have bridged your two threads, and shown anybody who confidently criticized you based on out-of-date data since corrected as both misinformed and petty.
What's more important to you:
Principles or personalities?
Integrity or enmity?
Why not make the most of your gifts and how you share them?
Aren't there enough here this season who are chomping on PC bait that they've helped inform and strengthen with little sense of the symbiotic mechanics in play, simply because the bait tastes like a spicier version of a dish they like?
Be a uniter, not a divider.
It's the only way this team will top 30 wins this season, and ironically, the sourest notes being sounded are grounded in indignant disappointment that this team stopped its confident, rightful march to grand success and now must be ridiculed and doubted by those who 'know better,' so that they don't feel the further or repeat sting of foolishness.
Your time to shine...
