Just to clarify, I'm not eligible for a PMS break.  In case anyone was, you 
know...wondering.  :>)

I'd ask how low you can go here, but the irony might be lost on you...

This in a season where his assists stats went UP.  And I would never waste 
a cookie that way.  I wonder why you feel a need to advocate such a violent 
action.  What, did you bet the house on Pierce?

You're clear.  Wrong, but clear.  What's with this "we" business 
anyway?  When I agree with you,  I'll let you know.

Well, Gee, you must think Coach O'Brien is an unmitigated idiot then, to 
keep playing him, instead of yanking J.R Bremer off the bench and having 
him start in Pierce's place.

Lay off the personal cracks, Lance.  Lest I decide to waste a cookie in a 
way you won't find comfortable.

Well, hey then--call grandma up and tell her Obie has a job for her.  At 
least she'll only get the League minimum and that'll free up cap room.

I don't mind so much that you don't like Pierce--I don't even mind that you 
don't seem to have a coherent reason for it--sometimes people just rub you 
the wrong way, or something.

But you're taking it to an unreasonable extreme and compounding your 
offensiveness by attacking anyone who disagrees with you.  I've run into 
that sort of thing before, and I've never been one to play target for 
someone's inability to debate something without taking personal 
potshots.  If you can't communicate without being so rude and nasty, then 
don't bother to communicate at all.

I'm not insisting that you "see the light" and become a member of the Paul 
Pierce fan club.  Do me the same courtesy and stop badgering me to agree 
with you when you KNOW that's not going to happen.

There's a BIG difference between having differing points of view and 
turning an intelligent, entertaining debate into yet another useless flame war.

Far as I'm concerned, THIS discussion is OVER.
