Amazing how Guido is always personally involved in conversations between Saints coaches and players alike.

Exactly where did I ever say or even vaguely imply that I was personally involved in conversations? Brees himself said that he talked with Thomas and Jenkins soon after and cleared the air.

And why does it seem like every other post by you involves trying to ride my ass? Go back and look at your last 100 posts. Can we not just be as adult as Thomas and Brees here? Other than a couple of posters we're all Saints fans.

AG I do not need to look back. I agree, I do "ride your ass". Sometimes adding an "IMO" or "I feel" would go a long way to showing humility and not appearing as if your subjective opinion is the definitive answer or the only opinion that matters. That chaps people and then, be it a character flaw in everyone else or you, defensive comments exude and then you stand with your hands up going "what did I do" as if you are an innocent bystander.

Whether you are unaware or it is intentional it is the root cause and the outcome is almost always the same.

I look in the mirror every day and am honest with myself, and when I am criticized such as you did in the above post, I check myself. At least I have awareness dude.

Personally, I don't know you as a real person we may get along fabulously, but in your online persona it is a challenge. I am a Saints fan and love the Saints and that is the only unifying factor I can see.

That's fair. Honestly, I have been trying to address that perception. I have rewritten more responses in the past six months than I have in years. The issue may be that I have written quite a bit in most of my jobs before my retirement and it has all been fact based reporting or declaration of conclusion. In most cases my "clients" wanted answers and I had to give them definitive replies. Or I was reporting on events and simply had to state related facts.

It's just hard for me to ignore something stated by another as fact when I know for a fact that it is incorrect. That's something my jobs all required me to address with confidence. 30 years worth of application is hard to change. I'll try to be more "diplomatic".
