This dumbass has a book to finish writing. I'll check in from time to time.

Or don't..

But hey make sure you can back up what ever drivel you write about

Why can't you just just take a little bit of criticism from time to time and leave it at that? The nature of a message board is one where posters tend to contest each other... so be it. Someone shows up and contests something you say, with valid back up, and you could either let it be or offer a benign "I see your point, though I still think my comment has some merit"...

It doesn't apply since he writes fiction, though we could argue a lot of what he writes here is fiction too.

Criticism is fine. I handle criticism quite well. After all, I do write. I'm working on my eighth novel. I've written poetry that's been reallycritized. I don't like being called derogatory names.

Especially when it comes from a poster who has never once in his tenure on the board ever, not once, ever posted athread. I went back and checked every single thread that's been started in this message board and lo and behold not one started by the person that calls me a dumbass. Upon further research, my accuser has been the most critical of any poster that he does not agree with.

Upon even further research, he's never posted any new information in a thread of the thousand or so That I looked at.

As i went back and look at how this transpired, I asked him to provide a video or photos and it was Southie who posted the original video and stated that it was a bad video and maybe I could do better.

So there are some facts. I write books that are fiction. I state opinions based on what I'm told or what I read, hear or see. But don't we all?? So now my opinions are fiction??

I'll leave further information up to the experts to put in this message board. I won't start any new threads and leave that to the experts. I apologize for starting threads with conversations that have so upset everyone.

Maybe Reb can takeover from now on and pass along all of the things he hears and sees and keep this board alive.

I've only finished 15 chapters and have a long way to go before i sleep.

You're a very articulate guy, I respect that. Many posters here couldn't put together a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight.

Remember, posting a thread that triggers progressives is the best thing you can do for your country.

And fun too.....

I think you are wrong. Didn't he start that post with a question a day last summer... stuff like what 5 albums would you bring with you if you were stranded on a dessert island? And it showed up at a great time when we were all stir crazy from the pandemic rules and didn't even have rumors to chat about.... I get in tiffs with him too, but he's one of the good guys here...

And I do get the annoyance with the derogatory names, but haven't you intimated you killed for less? I know I'd rather be referred to as a dumbass than be threatened (though of course you were most probably tongue in cheek).

I've learned to judge people mostly by their good qualities for two reasons: first everyone has bad qualities, but some are better at hiding them; second, not everyone has good qualities. It's like a smorgasbord.... Do you judge based on all the food you like, or based on the dishes you don't like?

Isn't this like the 10th time this year he said he's stepping away for a bit? See ya tomorrow BK.

Ken is a spoiled, opinionated, narcissist he needs this board to fill an other wise empty life with something akin to companionship. He say's he does not like being called out but in fact he loathes it.

He can't stay away, and he can't seem to learn that anytime the word Patriots is mentioned in any manner does not make it news worthy. He posts his opinions as if they are fact then bitches up when called out. For a dude in his 70s he sure doesn't seem to have the wisdom of his age.

You are wrong. Most here are very articulate. It's the reason I'm here.

ESPN's Jordan Schultz reports the Patriots are not planning on pursuing a trade for 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo.​

New England has been speculated as a potential landing spot for Garoppolo throughout the offseason and the 49ers trading up to the No. 3 pick does point to them moving on from him. Garoppolo started his career in New England and went 2-0 as a starter before being traded to San Francisco. Unless the Pats have checked in on Garoppolo in the past 24 hours, this report does contradict a previous report that pointed to New England still being interested. Schultz points out that the Patriots don't have an abundance of cap space to take on the final two years of Garoppolo's contract. Cam Newton's first season with the Patriots was lackluster, to say the least, but he showed enough as a runner for Bill Belichick to bring him back for the 2021 season. With the role of veteran passer already filled, it's more likely that New England chooses to add a passer via the draft instead of trading for one. If the draft approaches and San Francisco still hasn't found a team willing to pay up for Garoppolo, the Patriots could re-enter the conversation with a low bid.

Yeah I pretty much figured they would not. BB committed to Cam and Stid. He will likely draft a QB and if he wants JG take a stab at him next year might come cheaper. I am okay with this. The Pats have done a lot this off season to improve this team, let's see where it takes us.

I enjoy reding most of your posts.
There are not enough people starting threads. There are more than enough critics!!
I have been criticized by many on here. I have also critcized most everybody. If I missed nybody I apologize.
For someone who does not like criticism, you paint a target on yourself by getting into pissing contests.
Remember, pissing contests are voluntary.
There's at least 1 guy on here that is easily set off and overly critical. I called him a dick. He got pissed. Have not had a problem since.
I could have gotten into a long back and forth about it but did not feel the need.
I find him a very good poster who I often disagree with.
If I wanted agreement, I could go to the Broncos board and get a blowjob for saying Elway is the GOAT.
Do what you will Ken, it's your choice. As for me, I'll read your posts and laugh at the pissing contests.......

I'm still wondering why ass clown means idiot when calling someone a clown means the same thing... but I digress...

To answer your question, I gave it a thought and settled on "why ask why?".

This board reminds me of an expression a former colleague shared with me... He was referring to persons who shared his decent, which I won't share.

I join my countrymen to fight our invaders. I join my neighbors to fight my countrymen. I join my brothers to fight my neighbors. I fight my brothers.

You usually see things for what they are... Some people are just sheep, others got to be contrarians. I like those who just think for themselves despite not always liking what those thoughts are or how they are delivered.

Breaking news!!!!!

 

[redseat]

Jimmy G is not that good/always hurt. He’s had one healthy season as a starter in the NFL? I’m not breaking the bank(in trade capital and then actual payroll) on a guy like that. I’d rather roll the dice in the draft.

I am in a small camp that doesn't even want Jimmy G back
