An open letter to Tim Maymon

[ATWizJr]

Be careful, or Hards will insist that he's letting it go and never will!  JK, JK, JK!

Happy New Year To All!

You aren't the one who got 2 PMs from Chicos after the thread was locked 

[ATWizJr]

It would have been an honor to receive 2 PM's from such a distinguished and intelligent poster!  Of course, we are in agreement, so there is that as well.

[muball]

one would think your Jesuit education would have taught you to be more understanding of others, guess you didnt pay attention.

So muball...let me get this straight.

You are upset that Hards judged the Maymon situation?

Now you are judging Hards on said behavior.

Epic logic.

Implied here is that it's inherently contradictory to call into question any criticism of another person's judgment.   By this "logic" any criticism of another person's judgment is off the table, since that would be judging, so whoever judges first is therefore beyond criticism by anyone else.  The issue is not that one person is making a judgment.  The issue, rather, is one's critique of the propriety of another's statement, which is valid.  I liked the letter, FWIW.

What a stupid, stupid letter.  Thanks for putting the nail in the coffin for JMay to not come back Hards.

Please pardon my hangover,if you are being sarcastic.  But if a letter, from one fan, to a publication read by a couple thousand people, makes or breaks a a life-changing decision for this young man, then God help him.

Interesting news coming out of TN (http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/jan/01/four-ut-basketball-players-face-drug-and-weapon-ch/)...makes you wonder if it's makes it more or less likely they'd bring in another recruit that could be seen as risky.

You're correct, my opinion is stupid.  I shall resolve to never express it again.

So you call Hards' letter stupid in one sentence and then thank him in the next?  Schizo?

Of course, I know said gratitude was sarcastic.  The following, however, is a 100% genuine, non-teal statement:

If you are indeed responsible for JMay not coming back, Hards... thank you.

Perhaps he could have said, "You, sir, are a hypocrite!"
