Re: I held firm - an open letter

One question....if it truly doesn't matter as you said in your previous post then why bother to explain your stance and feeling on a Saints thread. There are other sections on the board that you can freely express your feelings....especially now that the season is over. Seems like you can't wait to check the box scores even though things are getting too ridiculous. You might not spend that time watching the game but you've spent more than the time it takes to watch a game trying to justify your stance.

In what way have I "spent more than the time it takes to watch a game trying to justify" my stance? Did you read the OP? I responded to him.

I'm not justifying my stance, I am defending myself against some guy who randomly showed up to tell me that I came here to bash the Saints and shove my "stance" down their throats. Read my first post in this thread and tell me if you think it looks like I was justifying myself to others, or pointing a finger at anyone. I mean that. I would like for you to read what I said and tell me if it warranted a personal attack on me by this poster.

I didn't intend to say anything beyond my original comment. But I'm sure not going to sit here and let someone lie about me because he apparently doesn't agree with me. Doesn't that make him what he, and you, are accusing me of?

Yes the NFL HAS become too ridiculous. That's why I'm not a fan. I'm also not a fan of the NBA, but I pay attention to what's going on because my entertainment is following sports. I don't have to watch it, or emotionally invest in it, to still know what's going on.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

You jumped in on me buddy. Not the other way around. Like others have said - what’s your purpose for being here if you’re boycotting?????

You want to go back and read this thread again and check your facts? I said nothing to you in this thread until you decided to start your BS.

I have stated my purpose numerous times. Read, or don't ask again. I can't help you if you wont stop beating your chest long enough to read.

Yes I read his post. I'm talking about all the consecutive post that you have made in several threads. The OP only made two posts in the same thread. Any other post he has made has been outside the Saints threads. All I'm saying is that you have spent a lot of time just today on a topic that you really don't care about. You're trying to defend yourself based on an opinion that someone has you about a subject to which you said you couldn't care less about.

Exactly.which means it’s more about him and how people perceive him than the actual cause. If he really believed the crap he is spewing he would just stay away.
Are we going to have to deal with this every year?
