But when you say things with such confidence and certainty when there is an opposing viewpoint, and that opposing viewpoint turns out to be correct...prepare to take the heat. Not call the other side "childish".

I think Zack Cozart is going to be better than Didi career-wise. But I could be wrong.

However you will never see me write a curt response to someone simply saying "Cozart will be better than Didi." It comes across confrontational to many, whether or not it was intended that way. So I would ask that ones who speak/type like that confront that reality. And many take the heat just fine. You usually do too Doug, but every once in a while you break out the "act like an adult" speech.

We've (the board) had this discussion earlier this year...
