Good read thanks.
I have nothing to say to that argument because it is solid and sound.
Sometimes I stir the pot to get people talking. Some of what I say is tongue in cheek too.
I like a good counter argument, it is good mental exercise to take in opposing arguments and see they are valid when well stated.
What I won't do is try to carry an argument on at the risk of crossing the line into trolling.
Personally I like humility, however I also believe strongly that New Zealanders have been spoiled in sports largely connected to expecting the All Blacks to always win and can be very ungracious when they and other NZders lose....just tune into Talk back after the All Blacks lose and listen the vitriol.
Absolutely bro. I’m glad you’ve taken my post in the right spirit because I was worried I’d be seen as ripping into you. Really it was just that I see you making a lot of long and thought out posts and I thought I’d have a crack at deconstructing some of it, to spark conversation more than anything else.
I actually love how by and large we can have robust but non-troll-y discussion here because while we don’t really know each other, we also aren’t total anonymous strangers - so there’s a sort of accountability, if you want to come back and talk to the same people the next day.
