I have critiques of Sean Payton and I have critiques of Drew Brees. Guess what?…I don’t hate them. Nor do I hate Michael Thomas.
You seem to have some psychological issue about you that makes it impossible for you to accept that other people have different opinions than yours without you labeling them as “haters” or bragging about how in the know you are. Especially about Thomas. You are very antagonistic to other users.

What you are demonstrating toward Thomas IS akin to hatred. Not just simple criticism. Hell, you repeatedly call him an a$$. That isn't criticism. That displays pure dislike (aka hate).

Tell me this, in what way do you consider that Thomas is an a$$? What has he done that affects you so deeply that you cannot "forgive him for his transgressions" and move on?

And if I am antagonistic it may be because I am returning in kind. Can you honestly say that you, and others, are not constantly antagonistic when it comes to Michael Thomas?

I shouldn't have to defend the guy, just as I shouldn't have defended Manti Te'o, but I will because I feel he's getting a raw deal from some people.

No, it’s not. It’s speaking my opinion about his past actions. It’s something you use as an excuse to Label people and discredit their viewpoints so you don’t have to engage them in rational dialogue. I’ve pointed out what Thomas has done that bother me before. You obviously didn’t read them before. I’m not gonna type them again.

How is it that I hate Michael Thomas when I’ve said I hope he comes back to the team and breaks records and leads us to a SB? How is it that gnome, and bako, and me, and anyone else who doesn’t suck up to and kiss Thomas’s butt is a hater? You are a dishonest manipulator Guido. saintfan had you pegged.

PS is his ceiling.

HS football coach might be his ceiling.

You have absolutely mentioned what Michael Thomas has done, or more precisely what you believe he has not done, that bothers you before. Many, many, many times, ad nauseum. That's what I'm pointing out. We all know how you feel about Michael Thomas. You have made that perfectly clear. So why not leave it at that and move on?

As for y'all's feelings about Michael Thomas, would it make you feel better if I just said "dislikers gonna dislike"?

Does it really make sense to have multiple posters accommodate for one guy that agitates so many?

:

Again, you are under the mistaken opinion that I care about what you do. YOU asked me about my thoughts on Thomas. You have posted MANY tweets about how good Thomas looks. You said that you and rez were in the know. Seems you care a whole lot more about what people feel about Thomas than what people actually feel about him.
