I agree that bad parenting is the root of the problem, absolutely.
That doesn't evacuate the responsibility from the athletes themselves
as regards their actions because that is absolutely a very large part
of the problem, as well.

The Hell it doesn't, Mr. Woodruff; the HELL it doesn't.
If your son is watching my behavior and acting like me and you don't
like that, fix it; he's your kid, not mine. I'm under no obligation to
alter my behavior because you're apparently not a sufficient role model.

Are you completely incapable of reading comprehension? Because it
really looks like you're incapable of reading comprehension. Go back
and try again.

Are you incapable of debating without turning into a cretin when your
point has been nullified? It really looks like you're incapable of
debating without turning into a creting when your point has been
nullified. Go back and try again.

I guess you couldn't go back and try reading it again. How sad for
you.

I guess you couldn't.... oh, brother.
You may enjoy this particularly stupid dance, Mr. Woodruff; I find it to
be a waste of time. It's possible for someone to disagree with your
opinion without there being the slightest thing wrong with their ability
to read and comprehend what they're reading.

Except you seem to be completely not understanding what I'm saying at
all, so yes that certainly does come down to lack of reading
comprehension. But don't bother yourself...just keep acting smug and
arrogant. Are you an Alabama fan, by chance?

You are coming off like an impossibly stubborn person, incapable of
acknowledging (let alone understanding) anyone else's viewpoint.

I am a very stubborn person, that much is true. As to being incapable
of acknowledging or understanding anyone else's viewpoint, I would say
that I'm at least in the top 10% of this newsgroup in that regard, and
certainly above yourself, if this thread is any indication.

Are you insane? You claim that I'm not understanding your views, so
what do you do? Rather than explain yourself more clearly, you begin
flinging insults and sarcasm.

I don't believe I possibly COULD explain myself more clearly. I
believe I've been crystal clear about my position, in fact.

Self-awareness is not your strong suit.

Sure, kettle.
