Regarding the Hulk bit, the comparison is weak because of the phrasing I chose. It was intentional. Using someone like Hulk made it much more hyperbolic and to some extent, unrelated to what you were saying. My point is, what you see as devastating could be someone else's good or great.
I mean rate them in the sense of expressing why you like the player. Think we're operating on different definitions here.
Maybe not highly contentious but I do think the number of posts relative to the time period of the accumulation of these posts and their content speak to the suggestion people have some strong opinions on Bale.
I don't think you have to be wholly objective. Don't believe I said that. I think having some sense of it brings more substance to your subjective opinion. I'm not sure why you're trying to paint me as a "smug git". I picked up on something I thought was erroneous. I ended up being wrong about it. I was not using straw-man.
And you say I'm pretentious? Okay. Honestly, our impressions of each other are leading to some statements which are a bit off as I'll point out below.
So we've put words in each other's mouths. How surprising. Now saying I think you're a lazy twat and I'm a narcissist. Ridiculous. Did you not say you are comfortable with being subjective? I'm saying being content = "not being arsed" in this instance. Not implying you're lazy mate. You're just fine with your position as you've said yourself. Obviously my wording rubbed you the wrong way but there was no intent to insult there.
I dont want you complying with my method of reasoning. Where did I say that? Overall, I dont see a problem with yours. I just think you could add more substance to your points which imo, would add more solidity to your posts. I guess you don't think that's the case. If so, fair enough. I don't really care. Sometimes, I read something and feel the need to point it out and offer a suggestion as well. You can simply ignore it and go about your day. It has nothing to do with modeling my thought process nor people taking my points more seriously than yours or others. I'm not sure why you took my earlier point and attempted to tie that to me as if I'm some self-important bastard.
In this situation, I made an incorrect assertion which brought on all this nonsense. To me, it's more telling what the absence of tone inflection and body language can do to a conversation between two people.

Being nit-picky really.

What the feck!!!.....who's putting words in someone's mouth now? Ostentation is the signal flag of what??? I'm pretty sure you know. Just to clarify, not that I should......I never admitted I "can't be arsed" to do anything, my reasoning is all there in plain English.
Basically you are so astonishingly pretentious you believe someone who doesn't comply with your convaluted method of reasoning is simply a lazy twat?......who cannot possibly be taken as seriously as you take yourself? A true narcissist at work....you are always so easily identifiable
You just can't help yourselves
