Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3526276, member: 93"] The secret of life is enjoying the passing of time, so I guess we're both accomplishing that end. Cheers! I do note that your "discussions" often suggest expertise that you clearly don't have, and you frequently use that new-found "little bit of knowledge" in a potentially dangerous way because you are constantly lambasting people who have spent their entire professional lives dealing with things that you just started reading about a month ago. You always try to advance a hot take with certainty, apparently so that you can claim you called it from the start. It's like [USER=21]@DogMania[/USER] 's tagline: If you say enough things, you're bound to be right once in a while. Two weeks ago you were railing against Fauci for being reluctant to endorse widespread use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID 19 because you had heard of some success among people you knew and other anecdotal evidence. How is that turning out? You've criticized him and everyone else for doing both too little and too much. You criticize all the politicians for the same with respect to economic aid and plans. These are all the people who are dealing with the problems; what are you doing? You are making concrete statements and conclusions about death rates and infection rates when we won't have remotely reliable data about that for years. You are claiming that half the states are purposely under-reporting deaths and the other half is over-reporting them for the same reason. How do you have better data from which to make definitive statements? I realize that you have occasionally had some good inside information on our basketball program over the years and I've given you credit when it's due. I think you're out of your depth here and it irks me to see you playing Goldilocks with the efforts people are making to find real solutions to real problems with this virus. I know it's frustrating to everyone that things are so uncertain and there is so much we don't control, but I don't think it makes it any better to take that frustration out on the people trying to solve the problems and claim that they are all wrong, misleading, lying, etc.. Surely some are, but over time, it just sounds like a baby stomping his feet because he's upset. To me. If you are that upset, do something about it. Because that's what people who can do. Me, I'll have another pizza, thanks. [/QUOTE]
