Why is this discussion here? Is my above comment actually a problem, or did you respond to it solely because you wanted to get my attention about a previous response I'd missed? If the latter, then we're good. If the former, then we have a disagreement on our hands.
I've already told you that I now recognize the Iwakuma comment was pretty uncool. There've been a couple others on the last five pages; notably one linked below.http://seattlesportsinsider.com/comment/92918#comment-92918
And now that you've told me to stop doing it, sure thing. I can see how it's not helpful to you, and this is your blog.
(If you read USSM, which you don't, you'd see that I do in fact point out mistakes in Dave's posts. Not Jeff's, because he's typically far less number-heavy.)
But I'm not sure that that's what you're really saying. The comments about demanding an answer to a question "right away, please", the little grey-poupon snark in your latest article subtitle, they make me think that you are annoyed with the "unique information" comment. Which, as you pointed out, was germane. And when I go back and look at my last five pages' worth of comments, I find that the "24-and-0" trend I'm building isn't one of irrelevant side nitpicks. I do that sometimes - too much, you're right - but the 24-and-0 trend, the thing I constantly do, is offer dissent. So when you type up these responses, they lead me to think that the real reason you're annoyed with me is that I disagree with people here: not occasionally, but often. Consistently.
To clarify, that's a misperception partly caused by my own commenting practices. When I agree with everything an author says, and have nothing to add, or when I don't feel qualified to comment, I post nothing. I agree with the majority of stuff written here; I just don't say so. But I repeat myself. I wrote this in the last post.
Anyways. You say you're dissent-friendly, but then you make jokes about SABRdweebs and fat kids coming down to the cool kid table. I'm getting some mixed messages. You want me to stop nitpicking, sure, I get that. You want me to start saying "I agree" in the comments when I see a great post, OK. You want me to stop disagreeing, that's... an issue for my future participation here.
