I was going to keep my mouth shut about all of this, but you brought it back, so here goes.
Listen... I'm man enough to admit that I made a flawed argument without thinking it through. I was wrong, and I said that you all win. But did I do something I should be "ashamed" of? Was I a "douchebag"? Hell no. What the hell should I be ashamed of? Since when has making a comment based on how one feels when seeing an event as shocking as Brazil losing 7-1 become something to be "ashamed" of? Since when is one a "douchebag" for debating a point?
I'm not going to be afraid to speak my mind, and I'm not going to be afraid to admit I was wrong.
flere-imsaho constructed a great reply to my assertion that the game was rigged. He brought some evidence and ripped my assertion to shreds. He won the debate - no doubt about it. And he did it WITHOUT calling me names.
I have a lot of respect for flere-imsaho. I, however, don't have a lot of respect for you two, Critch and Blackadar, and nobody else at FOFC should have any respect for you two, either.
Like I said, my assertion was wrong. But you two went waaaay over the line.
