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

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.



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.

My last post on this topic..

From a BB perspective, I have tremendous respect for managers like Dire, mllama, C-Cat, noodles, niko etc who put the hard yards in the early days to figure out how the game engine works and freely shares that knowledge with us all. Also have great respect for the likes of Bryce and Whitebeard who have dominated in recent years as newer teams. It's not a fluke they are some of the best in BB Aus.

lol i am not that interested in wasting my time having a BB-mail discussion with someone who has no respect for anyone in this game.

*my popcorn runs out*

24 unread posts.

First I again apologise to Koop, I was upset, but I thought I had removed my little rant before anyone had noticed and so that was the end of it. Even if I hadn't really it was no big deal.

Second I apologise to everyone in the ABBL for causing this enormous mess. It seems even though I removed the message, trolls cannot help but grab any opportunity to criticise and attack even if they are attacking something that is in the past, gone and no big deal anyway.

Third I totally agree with Johnno that those oldtimers do deserve infinite respect and I would even add in Aussie Dude and Monkey Biz who both gave me some good advice when I was starting out and also tremell and Koop who have long been people I looked up to. I'm the second youngest here, only Johnno is younger and I 100% respect what those teams have done for the community. The amount of help Aussie managers give to their rivals is incredible.

Fourth is that Datzilla back yet again to cause havoc? I thought you were the predaphile? Or is it Smeltz? Surely we can make a rule that division IV teams can't post in the ABBL forum? (Before anyone has an anuerism that was a joke.)
