Pretty passive-aggressive there pal. Just call me out specifically next time so I can rip your argument to shreds. For the time being I'm through with your crying game.

    Sounds like Reds front office material there. Better get her resume to DO.

    1. Please cite the posts where I've constantly tried to "bait" you.
    2. I have noted several times on the non-baseball side of RedsZone that term "hate" is thrown around rather loosely, but those haven't been attempts to "bait" anyone. I believe that politics and current events can be discussed civilly, and, until your attack on me, the debate on this thread had been civil, if spirited. If you are consumed by hate, so be it.
    3. I'm not your pal.
    4. You've yet to rip me up.
    5. I'm not crying.

    And oh yeah; can't you cats find a better outlet for your vitriol than an internet spat? Channel that "pissedoffedness" into something more fruitful?

    Really. It's ridiculous.

    I think it's fair to say I know exactly from this thread who would and who wouldn't make the cut in forensics/debate club.

    O'Brien is not the last name to have as a "sports management" type in Ohio is it?

    Yeah... "Brown" is where it's at.

    No, but I got my eye on you. I know you're capable of some amphiboly and post hoc from time to time.

    When I was at UD, we referred to the coach of the Boston Celtics (post-Pitino) as "he who shall not be named," among other things I can't post here.

    Interesting word, thats derivate, I thought, was a no-no around here. I got dinged for masked profanity on that one when I used a couple of these "$$".

    Maybe she did. Maybe she wrote a terrible paper (I've already noted that I would want to read the paper before forming any kind of opinion as to what kind of grade she deserved). But how do we "know' what her motives are?
    I know she targeted someone because that's what she did and she's still doing it under the pretense that her First Amendment rights were violated the moment the professor put a condition on her use of a topic. That's complete ka-ka, but she's doing it anyway.

    You don't openly defy direction and then blame someone for your own behavior without there being a target. Well, unless you're a sociopath. Then you don't really have a conscience and don't understand that your behavior affects others.

    That's pretty much the choice. She either targetted someone for having the audacity for their views or she's a sociopath. I tend to sway toward the former explanation even though it appears that she appears to have little conscience. At minimum, she mistakenly felt that her "rights" had been violated the moment the professor put a condition on her topic and figured that she'd show him!

    If that's not "targetting", I don't know what is.

    BTW, the top point total she could have received was a score of 69 (unless I misread it) handing in her inappropriate version. She received a 49. She handed in a paper that, sans inappropriate content, would have been in the low "B" grade range. She received 49 points because that is the grade she deserved. I don't need to read her paper to realize that. And she got it because she felt that she was entitled to do whatever she liked.
