I agree that some of the viewpoints presented by pro-ALPA people are sometimes obnoxious and pedantic, but if you're going to be the referee on matters of arrogance, you're going to have to step in a lot more often.

You're going to have buy some muzzles.
It is the vehement pro alpa side that has the arrogance.. mainly because they are on top, and have earned the "right" to be arrogant. However.. when one is trying to win over an opponent to your point of view, exhinited arrogance has the opposite effect. Splash could now tell me the world is not flat, and I would question his argument, because EVERYTHING he says is so laced with ALPA-can-do-no-wrong rhetoric. I now find him boring and will give him no consideration in his arguments...

Of course it is. And Carl is just misunderstood when he tells everyone they're ignorant. And people that label anyone that doesn't agree with DPA as a "unioid", or an "apologist" are only trying to help, by showing them what stupid lap-dogs they are.

Truth is, TSquare, you never can be bothered to tone down the filth, unless it offends your viewpoint.

Save space and use "You're a poopy head!"

Same message...fewer keystrokes.

(Just trying to be helpful)

Since "exhinited" doesn't exist, I feel vindicated and actualized.

Other than the fact that I've posted my belief that ALPA is flawed, and has made many mistakes, and missed opportunities...you'd be right.

Which exposes an interesting paradox! If I point out you're right, you would be forced to disagree with me, right?

Well then, you're right about that one!

"Boring"?

VICTORY!!

Wait...you did mean the verb, right?

I believe the Vols are a great team.
I believe ALPA is totally fallible.
I believe Carl is reasonable.

Time to crank up the Auto-Disagree 3000, tsquare!
