I've no idea what you're calling a miniscule point, what I said or 
what I responded to.

I wasn't pretending to have some vast overwhelming point, I was 
merely addressing someone else saying there was no excuse for not 
playing Tony. He was wrong - there was a real reason, not even a mere excuse.

Only if he helps them on the court. He hasn't, for quite a while. 
Despite being given a lot of opportunity to show them a chance that 
he might. This wasn't give him a one chance and drop him like a hot 
stone. Nor was it a case of his making progress, just not fast 
enough. If anything, he seemed to regress.

No he is not valuable unless he makes himself valuable on the court. 
So, you're right, it doesn't matter if *I think* he sucked, if that's 
all there was to it, but the fact that he actually did so, 
continually, and increasingly, and made an impression on those 
running the Cs by doing so, does matter.

Sarcasm doesn't work well on the web. I've no idea what this is about either.
