The best way to deal with garbage is to stay away from it.

but I enjoy most of SN, but I cannot escape the putdows by cetrtain SNers

Kai, I know there is an ignore mechanism, but it doesn't work totally because of other's quoting the person to be ignored. Can you find a way to limit somebody from seeing anything I post or where I have been quoted so I can post without having to deal with the garbage flung around?

Yes, it's called just skipping over people's replies you don't like.

Look at my original post. It was only facts.

Watycher was suggesting I was saying something in addition, indicated by him beginning "Nice try, Im4wsu--but" I guess my explanation back should have simply been, these are facts, no conclusions were drawn. In the explanation, I did point to that fact that the stats are not all zero, but any reasonable human being could make that same determination.

Stop trolling!

Conclusions or no conclusions, you wouldn't have posted the "facts" if you didn't think they were worth sharing. WSUWatcher simply expressed his opinion that your "facts" were not worth diddly squat, and he actually bothered to explain why. It was your response that condemned him for putting words in your mouth, while simultaneously proceeding to utter those very words that you claim you didn't want in your mouth... that is the part that cracked me up the most.

I wasn't trolling. I was pointing out how absolutely hilarious this string of posts was to read.

Looks like the garbage has found another person to follow around and bait with.

He doesn't troll, instigate, or get defensive about a thing though. It's everybody else.

I was only able to see part of the game, but I think it's amazing how fast Ron gets off his shot from the arc when someone passes it to him. Some guys catch, set, and then pop, but he's got the catch and pop down to a science and seems like every time he does it there's nothing but net.

My reply to Watcher did not involve you, nor did you say that the information was worthless at that point, you were, like always, just trying to stir the pot.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,^[1] by posting inflammatory,^[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response^[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.^[4]

My reply to Watcher did not involve you,

You wrongly criticized WSUwatcher. Don't get mad at me for calling you on it.

nor did you say that the information was worthless at that point

Huh? I never took a position either way on the usefulness of your stats. I only criticized what you said about WSUwatcher.

you were, like always, just trying to stir the pot.

Umm, no. I'm just defending WSUwatcher against your false accusations and then laughing at your wild and crazy attempts to explain away your mistake instead of just admitting you were wrong.

=Jamar Howard 4 President;536053]You wrongly criticized WSUwatcher. Don't get mad at me for calling you on it.

What did I wrongly accuse him of? He addressed me, personally, as trying to convince him of something. I did no such thing. I posted facts and he made it look like I was trying to convince him of something. If you can point to something in my post (quoted below) that says/implies anything about TG's value, I'll admit I'm wrong. I very often post stats without making comments or judgements. If readers want to use those or ignore them, that is their choice.

Im4wsu: Tevin's per 40 stats this season:

	Per 40		Team rank
TOT REB	11.3		2nd
PF	5.1		11th
PTS	20.5		2nd
AST	1		11th
TO	2.1		10th
BLK	1		4th
STL	0		15th

J4HP=Huh? I never took a position either way on the usefulness of your stats. I only criticized what you said about WSUwatcher.

Watcher didn't say "diddly squat," those were your words that you wrongfully attributed to him.

Umm, no. I'm just defending WSUwatcher against your false accusations and then laughing at your wild and crazy attempts to explain away your mistake instead of just admitting you were wrong.

False accusations? Again, show me in any post where I made any false accusation. Wild and crazy attempts to explain -- I've already admitted that, just for your benefit, I should have not added to my first response that the statistics point to some value. You call that a conclusion, and technically, I guess it is. Howe many time do I need to admit that I could have phrased it better?

Here's the quote:

It is called paraphrasing. My goodness. I didn't think this could get any funnier, but it just did. Thanks for the laughs.
