If you feel that I owe you any kind of apology, let me give you one from a bunch of people on here.
If your feelings are hurt because I, or we, said something you disagree with that gets you all rattled, I/we feel truly sorry for you that you repeatedly find a need to go after people over this type of post. Now, I am prepared to have you list and detail several names you want to drop like a strung out police informant looking for a fix that is supposed to make me inspired with awe and have you say I/we know nothing about the game when you have no idea what or who I/we know.
There are people here discussing football at many levels and the fact is, not many of us need you to come on here and point out every little insignificant matter you take offense to because you played almost 60 years ago. You have no idea who anyone on here is or what their experiences are, but you feel a need to shove down everyone's throat that you know so much and we know nothing. You aren't adding to the conversation, you are just trying to bully most and it's not enjoyable to anyone but you.
The bottom line, in any discussion, that's all it is, a discussion. It's not up to anyone to learn the selection rules because no one here, including you, is part of the selection process. Therefore, no one here needs to shut up because you say they should, they are part still of the discussion.
