I relish the opportunity to make people feel stupid when they either take a ridiculously stupid position, or in this case, display massive character flaws that make them look like arrogant pricks.

I absolutely relish in that opportunity.

you must be looking in the mirror.

You didn't say you gave him the platform. You're telling him what he should do with the platform he earned.
At what point do you realize that not only are you not qualified to tell somebody what to do with a platform that you had nothing to do with them earning, but also that it makes you look like an arrogant prick?

What is the issue with allowing someone who's earned a platform to use that platform to thank whoever the fuck they want?

I'm not saying I'm qualified to tell him to do that, but I do know that it's the right thing to do. You don't have to have that platform to understand that.

I think the right thing to do is to thank the people who helped you achieve the things that you did.
And he did that.
You're just overvaluing your impact on what he achieved.

I think when you're expecting a thank you for something you didn't earn, it's hard to sell the idea that "I know what the right thing to do" is.

Nope. I'm looking at the group of people who wants a public thank you for posting on message boards.

yep, it was absolutely his choice and we are allowed to have an opinion. We think it was the wrong choice and we think he should have thanked us. Not the fans on purpleflock or rsr or any other fans of the team, but the fans that supported the team for his time with the team.

It is OUR OPINION.

as I said, I absolutely would thank him if I saw him. I'm not writing a letter and sending it to him.

Thank you John Harbaugh!

You certainly are. And I expressed my opinion that your opinion was one of arrogance.

it's why I moved it into the Random Thought Thread. RMCMcJacket loves doing this shit and picking stances that are opposite whether right or wrong. He will pick the opposite stance and debate that side of the issue.

The exaggerated sense of one's own importance.

Yeah, I used it correctly.

you just described yourself

Here is the full definition ....
showing an excessive and often insulting sense of self-importance, believing you are better, smarter, or more important than others, leading to an overbearing and dismissive attitude, often without justification

This is how you act all the time.....

I also just described people who want a public thank you from a stranger for things they didn't achieve.

Or is that not what you were asking for?

No, it's not what I was asking for. I don't care if he thanks us or not. Just feel it was the proper thing to do and was surprised he didn't. I don't care at all. Doesn't bother me and I will still thank him if I ever see him and will support him at the HOF when he is inducted.

You completely read me wrong. Totally. I never said I wanted a thank you.

You have made a very significant time investment this morning debating the moralities of something you allegedly don't care about.

It hasn't been that long, but challenge you to go back and find a post stating that I wanted him to thank me.

I didn't say you did. You said you don't care whether he does or doesn't, but spent significant time selling the idea that he should because it met some arbitrary standard of "it's the right thing to do".

You cared enough to spend a decent chunk of time explaining why you think he should. And even more time trying to convince yourself that it's not because of arrogance.

I didn't have a care in the world and I've stated that fact. I said what I felt and my opinion shouldn't have any affect on you and if you think I'm arrogant, whatever lol. You do not know me at all. But go ahead, think it. It doesn't bother me in the least.
