You have to consider the sources since their comments came after Kane rippted his time with the Jets. May have been a little tit for tat.

I have heard some things about Myers by the way that I don't want to post, but there was an article on TSN a few weeks ago about the increase of something happening in the NHL. If true, he was no choir boy.

You just did. That was a huge article on ESPN, Yahoo just to name a few that I saw that day. Oh and BTW for anyone who missed it; cocaine is back. In a big way. Allegedly. You might even say it's "blowing" up. Too corny?

Kaiser, come out and play!

What I did was make a general post, not singling out anyone, saying that many posters were being hypocrites. I made a rational argument explaining why I thought this. People were saying that Kane, ROR and Lehners performances were not to be evaluated or analysed because it was too early to tell and they needed more time. Which is fine. But when the next paragraph says that we won the trades because the players we traded were doing poorly or busts, it seems to me, and I would argue that any intelligent, unbiased person alive would agree, it seems very hypocritical that the players they support need time, but the book is written on the others because they are off to a bad start with their new organisation, they are just terrible and busts. I made other points to further explain why what people were doing was hypocritical.

When I said that the clique of likeminded company line believers on this site rush to attack people with an opposing points or views and back each other and support the collective view like sycophants, again I never singled anyone out, didn't quote anyone's post or name names, and I explained why I felt that way citing examples.

This is quite different from what has happened to me and the few others who come on here to argue a point you all don't want to hear.

When I started posting this year I argued that Tim Murray ruined the rebuild, I gave reasons for why I felt that way. I never quoted anyones posts, never started anything with anyone. At this point I was called a crackhead, a troll, multiple variations of retard/stupid. And when I decided I wasn't going to run away and instead started pointing out how so many of the statements on these boards are illogical and baseless, and how people were being hypocritical with what they were saying, each time explaining why and making an argument to support my contention. Then, at this point people are calling my a lowlife, a Richard, gay insinuations of liking to give bjs, questioning my right to be a fan.

What I did and what other people do is two completely different things. You are accusing me of name calling and implying I am a hypocrite for calling other people out for what is in fact malicious name calling and insults.

When I make a general post making an argument why I believe people are being hypocrites, it is not name calling. It is a descriptive word with meaning that helps me say what I am trying to say. When people directly reply to my posts calling me names among other things with no argument, no point to the post other than to insult me, mock me and call me names, it is two completely different things. i am making an argument saying that what they are posting is unfair and hypocritical, I am attacking their posts. They make no arguments and move right past my posts and arguments and personally attack me calling me all sorts of names and commenting on things that have nothing to do with anything I posted.

So go on, and act like you are so smart, and gang up on the outsider and say that I am doing is the same as what people do to me and others who don't think like you. All because i have a different point of view than you do, and am willing to express it. Isn't that what these boards are supposed to be about? An open forum for debate? I only ask, because it seems that any dissenting view is not welcome. And anyone who fights back after being attacked multiple times is the problem. And pointing out bad takes is considered insulting people and being a troll.

The reason I have been calling out all the unfair, baseless and irrational posts lately is because everyone I see post here that isn't part of the collective is treated exactly how I am, so I realize that it isn't just me, it's the opposing viewpoint. So basically I want to fight against what i perceive to be injustice. I have done so in error at times, I regret every time I post negatively about what Pachla says in his blogs. I did so two times because I felt he was being too much a homer, and that is what I am really fighting against, homerism. But he is probably the classiest guy in cyberspace and even when I went at him with a bit of an attitude he responded like a true gentleman, something we all could learn from.

I have never called you out because I thought you were one of the more respectable posters. But now that you are playing highschool with the rest of them so I will add you to the list.

And I am sorry of I am not bubbly and all smiles with you all on here, but to be honest I have never been treated very kindly on this site, so I dont know why you would expect anything else.

This is all recorded in Michael and Garths blogs. If you think that I am being dishonest or unfair about anything I am saying here, I challenge you to review to posts and make a fair assesment.

First - nobody calls ME "respectable" and gets away with it.

Second- an Internet chat room is a poor choice of places to try to battle social injustice. If that's you're goal, PM me your location and I'll make some recommendations where you can do some good for real.

Otherwise, take a few deep breaths, enjoy a nice glass of Fresca, and it'll all be just fine.

Great for Ullmark to get his first; too bad we couldn't preserve the shutout. What the heck is painted on his mask? Is that Minions?

Beer poops galore this morning.

Looks like I missed more of it on here last night.

Why is everyone in such a foul mood?

I don't get it. The Sabres dominated last night. They should have beaten Pittsburgh. If they get average goaltending they will be a team nobody wants to play if they keep it up. We should be happy.

It's been 10 games?

This is where that other poster has a valid point.

Kane can score a measly 3 points in 8 games, but it's too early to judge, yet Myers is playing bad (which he actually isn't) and this somehow makes a point about him?

- sbroads24

You want to make the argument that it's been 10 games but when he played great the first 10 games after he was traded you were the loudest voice on here about how great he is on a good team. You are pretty much the epitome of a hypocrite.

Except I'm not defending or even talking about Myers. You guys are. It's actually getting weird.

If you want to tell me that your incessant digs about Kane and Bogo being injured are in no way related to how you feel about Myers, I won't believe you, but I suppose I will have to accept that. If you're being honest though, it has everything to do about Myers.

Myers is on a good team and he's awesome now (after 10 games).
