He cost us a Stanley Cup because he couldn't keep up with some hygiene. I can never forgive him for that.

This series is kinda boring. Tampa is boring.

Interesting thread. I think I have to pick Marty Biron. High character guy who was a part of that 05-06 run that was so much fun. He didn't leave the team angry or controversially. He's a huge Buffalo booster and very involved in the community. So many guys have blemishes for me that are hard to overlook. Marty stands out in my mind.

I'm just amazed. 3 playoff games is like a dozen regular season games.

I would like to do this again.

That is surprisingly significant

I agree

Interesting. Russ messing with McDermott's guys? Maybe that's what the Richie thing a few weeks ago was all about?

Excellent

Finally had a chance to check this out. Born in 1999! Yeesh! Kids! Her EP and a live album are on Amazon. Her vocal stylings remind me of Patterson Hood from Drive by Truckers mixed with Karen O?

Oh snap, now you're just finally starting to actually read what she wrote. Took you long enough. Her statement didn't need any correcting from you guys. She anticipated the "maybe they weren't victims" argument because she knew people were going to come for her about it and that didn't even stop you! Do you get it yet?

I'm definitely like that. She's my balance. I think sometimes people assume that she's up for the same argumentative stuff I am. This is not the case :lol:

Different opinions is not what this is about. It's about communication and knowing ones audience. There are a-hole posters here who love to fight and debate. Fine. But not everyone here is like that. The same goes for the real world. It should be obvious at this point that Josie isn't here to get into arguments and debates. She isn't here to put up with the condescension that other posters are willing to put up with. Friendlier language and understanding who Josie is would be nice.

Sorry bud.

I don't really feel obligated to do anything other than ask that you not be a prick. You're already doing a pretty good job of it today. If you aren't sure how to do that, perhaps you need to step away.

It's not that hard.

You might want to rethink your phrasing here. Is this a community or not?

I'm not going to dig up old posts. My only suggestion, and this isn't just for you, is to perhaps not treat everything as a debate or a point in need of correcting.

Excuse yourself please. You're not innocent of this either. I'm sticking up for her now because I see how these interactions frustrate her. I've been patient, but I'm a little tired of it. She's not a confrontational person but most of her posts here are met with condescension. I would like it to stop.

Of course not. But that's because you're not used to being talked down to by dudes like she is. She picks up on stuff in the way men talk to her that I don't always catch. No woman would have responded to her post that way, but PA certainly felt the need, and then he proceeded to dig himself a deeper hole afterwards. It would be nice if dudes would think about the way they respond to women a little more, especially in a thread like this.

Wildcard at least tried to couch his language. PA's response was purely superfluous, and perhaps predictable. The only purpose it served was to invalidate Josie as a poster, not her post. All one has to do is read that post and say "Ah, perhaps there are victims here. If so, I agree." And then move on. It's not a comment that demands questioning. And yet it was questioned immediately. I wonder why?

It just blows my mind that we have to sit here and entertain every single one of PA's contrarian arguments all day every day, but the moment one woman tries to show some compassion for potential victims, oh no. Can't have that. Someone let her know that these women might not have been victims, like she doesn't already f*cking know that this is a possibility.

It's about acknowledging different perspectives. Josie tried to bring a female, victim-side perspective to the discussion and was immediately told that this perspective was probably not relevant. By a bunch of dudes. That isn't harmless at all. It's exactly the problem.
