Yes, making a point tends to upset low intelligence people...
And the fact you couldn't grasp the point I was making speaks to your intelligence....
Here's the exchange:
Here's what will likely happen. Hendon Hooker will be in the conversation for several post season awards. A WR who is CURRENTLY on the roster will emerge as a star like Tillman did this year. I don't know which one and neither do any of the other Nostradamuses (Nostradomi?) on here. The coaching staff will evaluate and develop the current roster and take their time adding whatever pieces THEY think is necessary. Probably after Spring Ball. VN will continue to accuse them of some form of incompetence or another regardless.
Your response:
So you don't think this staff actually wanted the guys they've pursued?
My reply:
You did
not make a point. You asked a question that was a complete
non sequitur. Nothing he stated implied
any position on the matter of your question. Moreover the explicit context of the post was the meltdown over missing a transfer we wanted! No one in their right mind (only you) doubted that we offered the transfer because we wanted him.
Your question itself was stupid contextually. It was also extremely stupid
logically speaking; but it did have a
rhetorical intent: you wanted to
falsely imply that his statement contained the silent premiss that we have not missed on any recruits. Which is obviously false. And which he in no way implied or meant to imply. Why?
You wanted to trick people into illogically drawing the false inference that his statement (which was a prediction -- and even that of the "likely" -- and not a truth claim) was false, swayed by their
emotion when baited by your facile and irrelevant question at a time when they were upset.
It was like the lowest garbage the politicians swim in when they call themselves "debating". It was as if someone had said "it's likely to rain tomorrow," and you made your big comeback "point" by asking "So you're saying no one has ever eaten lunch?"
No one capable of reason will buy what you are selling. I can't speak for the others.
