FAIL.
Sorry but disagree with you here. First off nobody on this board unanimously agrees on anything....period. If that was a criteria for starting a thread..this board would have none. The very existence of this board is based on discussions. Second, every player on this team does things well and other things they don't. There is no such thing as a player on this team with the "complete" package so that's not a criteria either.
So asking opinions of those on the board if we are impressed with Shaq is a great question. So, far the consensus seems to be yes amongst fans and the media alike. Shaq is playing great.
I made 2 points with my post:
Disagree with jagu saying this was a "good thread"
Note that I've yet to see someone say Shaq is not playing well or that they are unimpressed.
You used consensus, I used unanimous, but everything else is the same in our opinion. Once someone voices their disgust for Shaq's game this year, I will undoubtedly recant and rephrase my statement.
Note that I never, ever commented on him being the complete package. I really dont know where that came from and why its in quotes. I also never dictated any criteria for thread starting. I admire the fact that this board has differing opinions. When Andrew makes yet another thread about Shaq, after admitting one of his priorities is padding his post count (which I dont get at all) which is just a piggy-back of another discussion on the front page, I'm going to go out on a limb and not put it in the "good thread" category. Is that so odd?
right... because there's NEVER multiple threads about the same exact thing on a message board. Geez, who made you king of internet? I hope this post doesn't send you into another of your rages where you lament the "lack of respect given to that you've earned here".
andrew, to answer your question... I'm not just impressed. I'm BLOWN AWAY. Dude's right now playing at the same level he did when he first got to Miami... and there he was the first runner up to the MVP... so, yeah, BLOWN AWAY.
I never claimed to be king of the internet, all I did was was disagree that this would be in the "good thread" category. I didnt even start the rating, I was 3rd to arrive. I also never claimed that there have never been multiple threads. I wont say if they were all good or bad, but im pretty sure some of those would be considered bad threads too.
Please tell me where I lamented about lack of respect I earned here. I am truly quite puzzled at this accusation. I really don't know where it came from or why you decided to put it in quotes. I'll buy you lunch if you can connect me to that quote, or any rants of tenured respect for that matter.
Did either of you actually disagree with anything I said, or did you just want to accuse me of spin offs of my comments? These posts are quite abrasive for two people I agree with quite often. I sense some passive agressive tendencies here, and welcome you to be open with what you're truly quarreling with.
