You know what they say in Total Recall when you have more than two right?

Baby, you make me wish I had three hands

To suggest that one person's opinion is more important than another simply because they have been more successful at an online basketball management game is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Not that I care about this conversation, but would it not make more sense to value an opinion of someone who has more experience pertaining to the matter than someone who does not? I believe this is what Naker is referring to.

Considering the original post in question was abuse directed at someone for being CT'd, I think that anyone that plays BB is entitled to express an opinion about that. We're not talking about medical opinions or homeless people in Iraq. Let's get some perspective here.

This seems to have blown way out of proportion now and has turned into a rather silly and irrelevant discussion.

everyone can express their opinions equally but it comes down to personal preference to take in what's more important. For me, I don't care about experience, I don't take opinions from sooks! haha

Did you simply ignore my whole post?
In regards to a medical opinion, whose opinion is worth more? A doctor's or a first year medical student's?
In regards to a legal opinion, whose opinion is worth more? A lawyer's or a first year law student's?
In regards to an opinion on an online basketball management game, whose opinion is worth more? A team in the ABBL or a newly joined team in div 4?

Anyway, I don't really care about the original discussion, I only chimed in to say that there is nothing wrong with elitist type thinking, and in fact, I'd rather encourage it.

Yes, I did ignore it because it was a totally irrelevant comparison. The discussion wasn't even about whose opinion is 'worth more', it was about the 'you have no right to post here until you make the ABBL' attitude/comment.

Yep the original discussion was about a non-ABBL team coming onto the ABBL forum and bagging out an ABBL manager for comments they made on it.

Maybe I am old school, and I think that is a lack of respect for those who are more experienced / successful. Seems likes I am one of the few who think that.

So I guess everyone is welcome to the ABBL forum to say whatever you like.

It was hardly 'bagging someone out', it was a comment made about a completely over the top rant.

All this talk of 'respect' is going a bit far, it's an online game - being successful at an online game is hardly something that commands 'respect'.

So I guess everyone is welcome to the ABBL forum to say whatever you like.


Last time I checked, it's a public forum.

Like I said before, if you are seriously offended by any of the comments made, feel free to BB-mail me and we can discus it.
