[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1101196, member: 55747"] My point is not directed at him but at his argument. I wrote with a strong, direct and even rude tone, granted*, but my point is at the way he builds arguments and how he switches stances whenever the wind blows one way or another. When it favours him he goes ' the rules say XYZ, period' and when it doesn't he goes 'i know the rules but you have to take into account that the ref had been using his discretion in the other direction'. Pointing that out is not ad homimen. It's an argument on itself. Rules when he likes, consistency when he doesnt. He is perfectly within his rights to point out the rules, i am perfectly within my rights to point out his double standard. And every time, EVERY SINGLE BLOODY TIME, his switch in stance favours the team he supports. You wanna look the other way, fine, but dont try to lead me down guilt avenue just for calling a spade a spade. To add insult to injury, he treats everyone who disagrees with him as an ignorant, idiot, hater, kiwi basher or anti nzer. I spent a good time during the the last weeks defending the crusaders against most and then this guy comes back, throws random labels at others and i'm supposed to shut up? Nah * if that is the issue here, fair enough i apologize, to him and the rest. I am quite sure the delivery was not the perceived problem. The content was. [/QUOTE]
