PerryMason Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So if you have that much apathy on the subject, then why are you so emphatically arguing against those to whom it is more than just a number?What do you gain from that? Why can't you just let it be instead of adamantly opposing what others want to do as a tribute if it has, as you have literally stated, no impact on you whatsoever? You obviously didn't read the original post.....im against it so it will just go away and so people won't constantly bicker over it. It'll just be over with. Make sense? Good.

PerryMason Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 You are annoying. And NC21 makes a good point. And you are mature. If you can't see the philosophical truth that rests beneath all of this then I'm sorry. But no matter what happens with the numerical value of 21, Sean's memory will never die and its really not worth having people getting pissed at each other over. Let someone wear it. ---------- Post added December-11th-2011 at 07:06 PM ---------- And if they retired it itd go away. Works both ways. Never going to happen.

PerryMason Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's not always just a number - many times a number is just as associated with a player as the player's name. Exactly its the association that gives it meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll just be over with. Make sense? Good. I think that you're having some trouble understanding that you are defeating yourself. You want it to go away, so you keep talking about it? And you are mature. If you can't see the philosophical truth that rests beneath all of this then I'm sorry.

I don't think that you even know what you're arguing for or against. I don't know you very well, but you're coming off as someone who is just trying to start trouble to get attention. As ConnSKINS26 pointed out, it can get annoying, which it is. This entire thread is a tribute to Sean, and you think this little of him to argue about the numerical value of 21 in a base 10 system? Again, I don't know you, but it's pretty disrespectful to hijack the thread to even have that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryMason Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ook then. :doh: I mean you are right if they retire it, it would go away as well. But i think with this organization its more likely that someone would end up wearing it before it would be retired. ---------- Post added December-11th-2011 at 07:14 PM ---------- I think that you're having some trouble understanding that you are defeating yourself.

Like i said if you can't see through all that to see the truth of whats really going on here then I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hijack anything just make a deeper point about all the bickering over whether someone should wear it or not and if that would affect the memory of Sean.

PerryMason Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So you're arguing with me about bickering? Dude, just go to bed early and get some sleep. We were arguing over bickering? Hm. News to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 We were arguing over bickering? Hm. News to me. You seem like the kind of guy who clings to technicalities and needs to have the last word. That's why I said that you were annoying, and its proving to be true. You've got a death grip on the idea that only the literal value of a number is representative of its worth. You're trying to be philosophical (while also being frustratingly literal), and no one cares. I'm sorry if I don't care to expound upon the reason why your mindset is ridiculous, in the context of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 We were arguing over bickering? Hm. News to me. All right, well, I'm going to bed. I look forward to waking to 21 reasons that you don't care about the number 21. In 21 languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I vote we just shut this thread down...too much emotion going on and usually good posters are gonna get banned over something stupid I had decided that yesterday and got busy, and forgot dammit. Meant to do it a couple times today after checking in and finding my eyes rolling once again. These ST threads, sadly, usually become like this, doing no one involved, or ST's memory, any favors IMO. On the other hand, some folks may do well not to overlook the thought that an outside agency seems needed to handle the lack of self-control that you'd reasonably expect to be accessible to most adults. Oh, and nobody PM me about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
