It happens to all of us from time to time Sentium - my turn in the barrel was about a month ago and it went on for several days and then stopped. Not much to do but shrug.

Shoeless, you gain karma points like I drink beer. A few knock against you and you likely dont even notice. A few knock against Sentium and he would notice.

But I do agree, it is no big deal. I like Sentium and I think he speaks his honest opinion, which the majority of the time seems very informed. This is why I bumped him up.

As I said in a earlier post, he should hope that karma can magically turn into fpts. He will need them.

Yeah, that\'s what I figured as well. I let it get to me about six months ago or so, when someone did the same thing. Now I just shrug. After all, it\'s just a fantasy forum. But it\'s still fascinating to me that someone can hold a grudge on this level, you know? I mean, someone is actually exerting energy to keep in mind to dock my karma with quite the regularity. And not only me. It happens to a lot of guys here from time to time. If I have a problem with someone, I clear the air by bringing it up and getting it over with. There\'s no need to quietly hold a grudge like this. If anything, it only gives you an ulcer faster

Are you absolutely sure that you didn\'t say something stupid/offending?

I haven\'t written anything outright offensive, if that\'s what you mean. I made a comment about how people shouldn\'t talk about the Wings if they\'re not informed about the team and I guess someone could\'ve been overly sensitive about that. But I have called people out quite a bit in my time here and I\'ve gotten docked for that sometimes. I always have a reason though. But still, docking karma is such a petty thing to do. Like I said, if I have a problem with someone, I voice my opinion and most of the time it\'s resolved with a reasoned discussion. No need to hold a grudge.

Thomas, the world would be a better place overall without grudges. As it stands now we will have to be happy with the knowledge that Canadian hockey teams own the ass of Swedish hockey teams. That helps me sleep at night, maybe you can find some solice in that as well.

That actually made me laugh at the computer screen Thanks!

I\'m sitting pretty here knowing that Sweden is the reigning Olympic champ and that a Swedish captain just won the Stanley Cup (and the Norris) on a team filled with Swedes while another Swede won the Conn Smythe. Feels pretty good

[Atomic Wedgy]

I can only retort by saying your momma!

[duballstar014]

New Zealand, eh Wedgy? You recognize my avatar then???

I was selecting a beer at a local restaurant a couple weeks ago, and someone recommended Steinlager \"New Zealand\'s finest.\" After drinking, I am convinced there has got to be something out there that is finer than Steinlager. Otherwise, my opinion of NZ may have changed quite a bit. :P

[Atomic Wedgy]

Steinlager won a few international awards about 10-12 years ago. It is certainly not a premium beer in NZ. If you can get your hands on the Monteith\'s range, Celtic Red is awesome. The Black, Pilsner, Golden and Original are also good, but the Celtic Red is the bell of the ball.

There is not a huge market for beer here as there are only 4 million people. That makes it hard for any brewer to make enough money to take a stab at exporting.

FOTC are hilarious!

[duballstar014]

Haha! I will have to search BevMo for those beers. Quite interested. I know NZ has a very small population so it makes sense...but I will be on a mission next time to find Celtic Red.

I saw FOTC live in LA. They are pure gold...after all, they are NZ\'s fourth most popular folk band! :laugh:

[Atomic Wedgy]

Monteith\'s is the brewery that makes all of those beers I mentioned. Definitely try if you get a chance.

[ultrawhiteness]

haha.. just ask Aussies how much they like Foster\'s. I had one guy respond \"Who?\". All too often the beer that gets exported has little to do with the beer the locals actually enjoy. Cough, Molsen.

[hippy_oiler_fan]

I am going to pipe in and say that looking at the teams I think joos has the best team. His goaltending is tops and beyond that he has great players at every position.
Overall though there is some damn nice teams across the board.
Those are my thoughts.
