If that's how I've come across then that's unfortunate. I'm less and less interested in posting on FF forums these days because so much of it degenerates into...
"I'm right."
"No, I'm right."
"You're wrong!"
"No! You're wrong!"
And that's just a tremendous waste of time and energy. Maybe I haven't succeeded yet, but I'm trying to focus more of my energy on making good calls to serve my own interests, putting a certain amount of my analysis out there for people to consider, and not getting caught up in the tug-of-war of trying to "win" arguments about specific players. Such an epic waste of time and totally irrelevant to my goals, which are simply to make good predictions and do well in my leagues.
I've often said that one of the nice things about this game is that you get to put your money where your mouth is. If you think Coates, Dyer, Brian Quick, or whoever is destined for greatness then you can act accordingly and reap the rewards without needing the peanut gallery's approval. If anything, it serves your interests best when they disagree with you and happen to be wrong.
You shouldn't have to explain yourself. You provide quality analysis. FWIW, so does Xue (at times, and I would suspect you'd agree?)... but yeah, he does it in a smug manner and tends to play the "gotcha" game, particularly with you.
That is what is unnecessary.
If this guy's so good at all this, wonder why he hasn't been picked up by a pro team for a scouting position yet.
Yes, join date is somewhat recent in the grand scheme of things... yes, post number is low... but I've been a "reader" for a
lonnnng time and let's just say I have a "few" posts at "another fantasy football website".
Stuff like this happens everywhere. You'd be best to just stop playing his game and just post whatever you feel like.
