Again, just sayin'. A lot of us are influenced on how to proceed with a conversation based on the user name of the person we're responding to. Some people have an issue when that's pointed out though. I have no problem admitting that my overall tone can be a bit altered with certain posters, but I'm not above agreeing/disagreeing with someone that I don't usually agree/disagree with (I think a lot of us are this way). I wasn't suggesting that you're changing your arguments all together based on the poster in question, but merely that you were softening things up because you were speaking to someone that you generally like on here. Is it really out of the realm of possibilities in this situation? I don't think there's anything off base with my original comment, and I stand by it.
Wowzers. Look, that's just how I conduct myself. I don't call anyone an idiot...even those I strongly disagree with. That doesn't mean I "soften my opinion". It only means I try not to sink to that level.
I've had arguments/debates with literally everyone on these boards. Even those I like and respect the most. I just manage to do so without ripping into them and making things personal.
Honestly I just wanted to clarify that while I agreed with you, I don't think green repper is an idiot.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
