That Aud Smell

And not a grain of salt in sight. I LIKE IT.

Hmm. Interesting take. To be clear: I'm saying that the activity of trolling is something that warrants condemnation. Hence, I don't see how trolling offers cover -- at least not around these parts. I am familiar with that guy's claim(s) that he's basically a wrestling heel (troll) who uses politics and current events as his entertainment fodder.

with respect to @Weave, i think what he's describing is more stirring the pot. I think @Weave called @PASabreFan an iconoclast; I think that's often right, as far as our purposes go around here. I would even go so far as to say that being a provocateur isn't the same as trolling. IMO, there's something gratuitous and disingenuous about internet trolling. If you're engaging in a bit of hyperbole in order to advance an argument that you genuinely believe, then you're not trolling. I don't think there's a single regular poster who's a troll or who trolls.

I'd forgotten this grievance -- that Vesey played Nashville. I don't think it's an unreasonable take that Vesey did Nashville dirty -- that he should have been more honest, etc. The stuff in bold is apt to make people's eyes roll out of their head, though.

I was gonna say something. But I think this about covers the waterfront. You can (may?) have a good cause, @PASabreFan, but if you choose to champion it based on bad facts, you lose ground. @pi2000's take-down of Vesey was preposterous.

Fair.

Right - that's what I should have said. It seems possible that @pi2000 genuinely believes that sort of stuff.

I'm a vet, and still don't "get it" sometimes. I rejoined, albeit briefly.

I really think it’s as simple as that.

Bizarre. It’s a market. He owed the Sabres nothing. He made a decision that, on balance, felt right for him as a person and player.

Thanks, all. The two name construction is key — so shoutout to Marc-Andre!

Even then, I think we knew that Mike Peca was bigger than your Peca.

Can confirm. Although I recall him doing some stuff just prior to the lockout, where I was, like, whoa this little Frenchie can ball!

Pipe down, Kenny Killjoy. You're interrupting my interwebbing.

SAVAGE.

Nah. You were right. When you read his other content, he was somewhat guessing at which teams would be doing it, but was more sure that there would be offer sheet activity. Edit: I did tweak my quote.

Do you have a significant, long-running track record of breaking news about trades and signings in pro sports?

I will be surprised as well. But it's gonna happen at some point.

i think that incarcerated bob is legit. i'm not saying he's right all the time. and i'm not saying he doesn't do some reading of tea leaves. but the guy's done enough to prove himself as someone with some inside info.

fwiw:

my bad. the name must have led me to infer he plays D.
