Get this started early.

Just kidding, I'm not going to bother with these threads anymore. Too many (frank)en whiners about posting an opinion. Not the guys that post in here but the other thread.

Knowledge isn't power to some, it's fear that someone else might know more.

Personally I think you do a good job of informing and rating players. A lot of effort is needed to follow hundreds of prospects here and abroad.

I certainly don’t care that you know more on player x,y or z, how are people to learn or make decisions unless they become informed.

As a guy that likes to follow and not post much, I also think when someone disagrees with your opinion of a player you get a bit snooty. And you become somewhat arrogant as if you are the supreme scout. Try being contrite and humble and people will be much more accepting.

My opinion, hopefully you don’t get pissed and continue to post prospect info, same as Brooksie and Reuby.

I typed out a few responses and deleted them but really what's the point of having a different opinion if I'm never allowed to have one without being the snooty guy or arrogant.

I was lurking before I started posting in the main thread. There seems to be a power struggle there. The flat earth guy is funny though.

there is just different factions within the blog, for the most part everyone is a good person.
The flat earth position is probably just a shtick to get people riled up.

Yup, I also look forward to Vantel updating everyone about the Leafs cap situation.

You should have added about to that at least.
