You are  always seeking distracting inconsequential side issues in order to avoid the ugly issue of a generation of failure. The central issue that you often refuse to face is the record. When you close your eyes you will not be able to see.

 

I'm not denying the record. I'm pointing out what people really want when they say they want Terry to speak. They want to ridicule him, not that anything is stopping them now. But they want fresh material.

Where do you get the notion that people want to see him get in front of the mike in order for him to publicly embarrass himself? Where do you come up with such nonsense? It's recognized that he's not much of a public speaker. So what! That's not a big deal to most people. That isn't the reason why the overwhelming majority of people have so much scathing criticism of him. As you note, people are clamoring for him to hire competent staff and then give them enough resources to adequately do their jobs. Retaining KA, after six years of abject failure, is the source of much of the criticisms directed toward this owner. The problem has nothing to do with how he speaks as it is how he acts. The record speaks for itself! 

PTR just has a habit of putting down the fan base.   Most fans lack his level of sophistication to fully comprehend these complex situations.

There are people who would love to see Terry P publicly embarrassed at the podium because of his unpolished speaking ability. That ridiculing group make up a small/minuscule faction of the audience who want to see him ACT more judiciously.

I’m a proud member of the moron class. I still have the ability to recognize when someone is peeing on me and not blame the non-existent rain on a sunny day. 😇

Well if and when he does make a public statement, we'll find out just how "few" of those people there are.

I don't put the fan base down. I just won't follow the groupthink. And that irks people. Dissent is irksome.

It doesn’t matter how few or many people will be snickering in the crowd. What matters to the most of us is what the owner does to help this floundering franchise get on the right track.

What’s irksome is not the dissent as it is the perplexing reasoning. 🙃

Exactly my point. I'm not following along.
