Rex said:Wow, VFTH - that is a truly amazing read. A great laugh once again.
1. I didn't quote the Age. I quoted Brissie Kid. 100% his choice, 0% mine. I'm happy to discuss any media.
2. The term Telegossip applies to all low grade gossip-style reporting. Attach it to News Ltd as you wish, or elsewhere as you wish.
3. I choose options a) and b) (and another unstated reason) as explaining the bent of the news articles. Nothing of offence there unless you mindlessly believe the gossip. Do you?
4. That you strangely choose options c) and d) as representing you being dumber than AFL fans - hence your decision to take offence - only reveals your own self-esteem issues. Your choice, not mine. Something for you to look at?
5. My proposition of four options plus the collective was an implicit challenge to provide an alternate explanation. There are of course ALWAYS other explanations of everything. You rose to the challenge with a single reason: Expert handling of the media by the AFL, poor by the NRL. A good giggle. Do you actually seriously believe Demetriou's boasting? Gently scratch below the surface and you'll find a dirty underside:
And to think i nearly missed your gems of wisdom,. Right so cutting through all the sanctimonious twaddle.
1. I concede you did not quote the article directly, but in quoting the poster you have added to the existing discussion stemming from said article. Or we're you merely grinding an axe completely unconnected to the article and thrust of the post?
2. Somewhat disengenious. A large proportion if not all readers of said phrase would likely say you are referring to the Telegraph
3. Interesting that you have acknowledged you have chosen options a and b. why do you believe "low grade gossip style reporters" are reporting the AFL issue any differently? Gently scratch beneath the surface and you will find a dirty underside (unless of course you truly did intend the telegossip to represent the Telegraph). The reporting of the AFL side of this "issue" from Melbourne based "low grade gossip style reporters" has been of the same style. Surely you realise that
4. Thanks for your pseudo psychological insights, off the mark though, it is about as logical as me making an inverse link between your sizeably arrogant demeanour and argumentative approach in this thread with your genital size.
if you feel (c )is indeed a strange choice, why would you have put it there in the first instance? It marries well to the belligerent tone you have adopted in this thread. Unless of course you do indeed wish to be perceived as an arrogant prick - your choice not mine, something for you to look at?
5. I see no value in discussing my views of AFL administration, you have shown your hand and to enter a discussion will be futile, you have shown yourself unwilling to accept anyones views on this topic/thread that differ to yours. But I will say that my views are founded in much more than this issue.
No doubt you will return with some contemptuous post, I won't bother responding as it will no doubt remain unresolved.
