Your attention is needed please...

Haha...

It means: I don't know what you're talking about at all there... :p

Why are you so proud that you made a point by leaving a forum? Who cares if you did, or if you do in the future? It's the game that matters, not that you played it.

Anyway, it's a good point Bandit. And the paragraph above was not a foul, but just friendly jawing.

Hey what can you say? Some ball players just have to grab a guy when he drives to the hoop. The "ball" as it were, tends to take on some of the sweat and vibrations of the people who are handling it in the thread. Cool analogy tho'.

I hate sports, and I think they should all be full-tackle without any sort of fouling rules . Not sure how that translates into your analogy.

Papiamento, spanish papiando, funny it does sounds like patua to me, that is the mix of spanish and french or portuguese, my father can speak the mix.

I cannot stand sports. Have you got another analogy!

Just kidding. I know what you meant.

[edit on 4-5-2007 by groingrinder]

if i foul another player, on accident, then the other player comes at me, i have to defend myself right. actually no, i should tell the referee

i think there should be a system of technical fouls implemented on ATS. 2 techs and your out of the game for the day. or something like that.

but i think everyone knows, the referee's arent always watching, so the person retalliatating gets caught. well i guess on a forum both parties get caught. so maybe its not the best comparison, ahhhh.....whatever.

Excellent Analogy! There is too much of this going on, I've stayed out of the more serious threads, for this reason alone. Too many people are attacking the poster, instead of the issue, instead of the argument, instead of the discussion.

All that energy put into insulting the poster, or attacking them, or calling them nmes, really could be put to better use. Such as contributing a well-written response to the thread.

Just a thought..

nope its cause the ref is biased ... BIASED i tell you !!!!!

sorry the urge to write that was overwhelming, ill try to control myself better in future.

I liked your analogy very apt

Well I just wish soccer was more like ATS.

There should be an extra referee on the field

Ah, but in most sports now if you get booked or receive a red card you can go to an ombudsman who will talk to both sides, view the footage and then announce whether the booking stands. . . Who on ATS do we turn to if we feel we've been unfairly treated?
