I don't think many people are confused that their opinions would be challenged on an internet sports forum.

Nor do I think anybody is shocked to learn that it's a dandy idea to have some backup reasoning for your arguments/opinions. At the very least, be able to say, "I got nothing to base this on other than my gut".

BTW, my orginal comments that apparently sparked a fire storm, had ZERO to do with stats or non-stats. I only uttered that I hoped that the tone of civility that has developed over the past 6 months (I'm talking about conversations between serrious posters, not dealing with trolls) can continue.

There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate Last edited by Ltlabner; 05-17-2007 at 03:36 PM.
