But Met seems like a good guy. The mods should delete these type of threads!

My predictions usually suck so I'm really hoping this isn't going to become a trend.

I'd say BBD was 99% right. I said the same thing before the season. Borderline wild card team. Way overrated. Mike Mularkey was never qualified to run the type of offense they wanted to run.

What's the point of making predictions in the first place if you aren't gonna discuss about whether you were right or wrong? It's funny how much offense some of you all are taking to a friendly jab about discussing a prediction, when half the the people in here make threads before the season start about their predictions or "thoughts". If you don't have a thick skin, gtfo of the internet, plain and simple.

So does that mean we are going to have 1000 threads for everyone who predicted the Rams would win the NFC West? or those who thought the Chargers were clear cut favorites to win the division? Its not so much making a thread to call someone out is wrong. But, in the grand scheme of things, what is the point of calling this particular prediction out as opposed to every other ****** prediction on the forum? Is it because you were slightly less wrong on this one?

I stated the purpose of the thread in the original post... go back and re-read it if you're still unsure.

*sigh* I like you MetSox I really do but your stated purpose was that you promised to do so. I don't think anyone would have been at all disappointed if you didn't, thus, following up on the promise was irrelevant. Or you called him out to make him eat crow. Which would have been more effective if you did so quoting the original text. But meh.

MetSox17 · 02-02-2012, 11:54 PM

I said the reason why i did it was because we had a heated back and forth discussion about it. I would have quoted original text if i could but it was before the season started and i can't even remember what thread it was or who started it.

Some of you are taking this way too seriously/personally. It wasn't made as a personal attack.

I think it depends on the person. If they were clamoring around wavering their dick repeatedly and being an asshole about their prediction as if they couldn't possibly be incorrect, then they deserve to be called out.

Per the Code of SWDC, this power play is legal due to the prominence of the two posters involved. BBD is honor bound to respond publically, and if he doesn't, Metsox gets his best goat...

...these are old rules...
