Logical?  You keep using this word ... I do not think this word means 
what you think it means.

Duh, indeed, my verbose friend.  Duh, indeed.

Who's trying to stop you, my paranoid friend?  I'm not trying to stop 
you, I'm trying to point out your fallacies, and yes, your rudeness. 
You stop by the list, call a good hunk of the membership "insane" and 
stuff, refer to a respected poster as a "lunatic", and make 
outrageous statements about the caliber of players, all the while 
continuing your one trick pony rhetorical style ("Antoine Walker 
needs to be traded for a loaf of bread and anybody in the NBA"), then 
you don't like when someone responds to your confrontational and 
accusatory tone?  What color is the sky in your world?  'Cause here 
on Earth, you gotta either have thicker skin or bit less bluster. 
Either that, or get used to people calling you to task when you're 
acting like a moron.

You're the only guy I know who would try to insult a person by 
calling him "a PhD."  Anyway, PhD's, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs, 
thinking human beings -- they all think that ridicule can stop 
ridicule, as indeed you, yourself, prove later in your post.  You've 
been a lot of fun, Ryan Lee -- we have some nice parting gifts for 
you backstage.  Thanks for playing!

That's a shame.  We'll all miss your subtle insights and the 
easygoing manner in which you present them.

I have, actually.  I don't see your point here, Ryan.
