Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes I still have you on block. Usually I don't click the see post button with you, but since we're both commenting in this thread I was interested for once to see what you had to say. That's some good revisionist history there, but the reason you went on block was because you admitted that you don't read through most people's posts if they are lengthy and instead you only comment on what you think they said. I'm sorry if you can't see why people would disregard most posts by someone who won't acknowledge their actual arguments out of sheer laziness. remember it how youd like, we were in a big argument, you posted one of your 15 chapter novellas and i skimmed through cause i didnt have 3 hours to dedicate to seeing you type the same thing in long winded fashion. as much as youd like to argue otherwise, i got the gist of your post. im a cliffnotes kinda guy elk. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not going to fully read something and consider the entirety of an argument, then don't respond. It's that simple. Your tactic does nothing to improve the level of discussion on this board, it's destructive to conversation, and it sucks to see you continually do it because, as I have also said in the past, you can hold good conversations when you put forth the effort. If you don't feel like putting forth the effort, then the least you can do is not waste the time of those that do put forth effort by discussing with them when you don't plan on actually reading and considering their whole argument. This goal of this board, unless I'm mistaken, is to bring quality Redskins news to fans and encourage quality conversation. If all you're looking for are short, simple, sound-byte quality postings, perhaps you should check out ESPNs board. it takes 15 seconds to read this "lengthy post" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less is usually more in my opinion, a good short statement is usually more effective than a 13 paragraph essay saying the same thing. and i definitely remember that argument, you became less concerned with the argument and were wildly offended that i skimmed over (if i remember it was only 2 of the paragraphs youd written, as we'd been going in circles and id seen them before written in similar fashion) part of your argument. regardless that was like a year ago and im just looking back and laughing about it now, i was just more interested to see if you still had me on block lol. and quantity is usually a poor substitute for quality my friend. thats something i learned loooong ago. at least thats what my wife tells me?

SkinsFTW Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Don't get confused everybody. Through hard work 2009 was a Playoff Roster but the dumb coaching staff couldn't get any more than 4 wins out of it. Also, who could predict that we'd give up so many Sacks n' Stuff when Samuels was slightly injured and refused to play? If only Cincinatti had accepted our trade off for Ocho Cinco, we'd have been Super Bowl bound. I can only do so much. -Vinny Cerrato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks God we have "football people" running this operation now. Let's hope this is the standard operating procedure around Redskin Park from here on forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 BLC: If you don't want to spend the time, then don't reply. It's that simple. But even the best of minds can have trouble grasping some of the simplest concepts. You ever stop to consider that simply saying the truth, "I don't want to discuss this at length, so let's just agree to disagree" is better than continuing on a discussion you're not even taking full part-in and wasting the time of someone who is putting forth the effort. Sorry, but complaining about post length and assuming quantity negates quality comes across as lazy and stupid. And you also seem to be forgetting that a good many of the times that one of my posts was lengthy in response to you was because you kept skimming and ignoring points, hence they had to be repeated to try and get you to actually address them. Your laziness at times created the very problem you're complaining about. *edit, just saw GHH post and I will follow his lead. I'll read your next response, but for sake of harmony for the board and the desire not to repeat myself to you which always happens, I'm done responding to you.
