I really didn't want to rehash this in a thread, but since you have your facts so misinformed, I guess I have to.
Here was the conversation:
Someone said Bailey's only problem was that he was letting his bad luck affect his performance.
I replied, jokingly, that guys who let their bad luck affect their performance don't get $100M contracts.
You and another poster asked me to provide proof of this statement.
I replied, "lol, I meant to say that guys like that shouldn't get $100M contracts."
The other poster understood that I was making a snarky remark, an opinion, not a statement of fact, not a serious claim, that it just was a bad attempt to be funny. You, on the other hand, still didn't get it, and demanded that I still provide stats to back up the statement.
I replied that I couldn't back it up, because it was a tautology, a meaningless statement that can neither be proven true nor false, since it brings no new, meaningful information to the discussion. I, again, was trying to be too silly, too clever by half. Clearly, what's funny on a philosophy board, isn't funny on a baseball board. My mistake.
Then everyone got into a discussion of what a tautology really is, and that was fun for me, but had nothing to do with my original statement.
I never made a claim in that thread. I made a badly worded, snarky remark, meant to poke fun at Homer's contract. And your reaction is exactly what can be wrong with Redszone these days. I poster can't even make a snarky joke, without it being taken way to seriously, and demanded that it be analyzed, examined and backed up with stats.
I hope that ends this nonsense once and for all.
