The thing is, if it wasn't accurate, it wouldn't work. You can't beak people down 9-1 in a hockey game. Sure, I'm "trolling". Yes, it is very intentional. No, I don't plan to stop, however that is a choice, not an uncontrollable impulse. I'm showing my "true colors"? What, the true colors of a hockey fan who both A) Finds this extreme, insane, level of ineptitude hilarious and B) Finds it frustrating that this extreme, insane level of ineptitude keeps getting rewarded, and then watching that reward get turned not into success, but rather MORE EXTREME levels of ineptitude that until Edmonton did it, it was thought that that that level of ineptitude was not possible? Sure, those are my true colors. I have no issue with that.
But if you think calling me a troll is either an insult or going to convince me to stop, you're sadly mistaken. If you think lines like "that shows you are who we think you are" is going to stop me from pointing and laughing, you're going to be disappointed. You're just a keyboard warrior on an internet forum. I couldn't care less what you think of me as a person. Fact is you're judging what you would call "my character" on some written words, on a very singularly focused topic. Hell, I have no clue what type of person you are. I know your hockey views, and I know those views are very different from mine. I know the odd social opinion when they occasionally pop up in the forum, but those are fairly rare. But I would never be so FOOLISH to assume that some random things you post on a hockey forum is indicative of who you really are as a person, and what your true colors are. Gosh, doing something like that would seem about as foolish as assuming every Vancouver Canucks fan is an anarchist and an arsonist because some people started a riot after they lost in the finals. Thank god my true colors won't allow me to be as foolish as that. I guess I'm just lucky. I'm fortunate enough to know what my true character is due to the responses and interactions of the people that surround me on a day to day basis, and I'll have far more concern and consideration to those opinions than my fellow "keyboard warriors" on a random forum. I don't need to hide behind such veiled insults, I'll just continue making my comments towards a (un)professional sports organization, and let that organization's fan base take those comments as personal insults if they so choose.
I can actual appreciate this post and agree with a lot of what you said. I may not like your tactics on this forum and may even find them a tad immature at times, but I can appreciate your honesty.
