Therefore, choose to behave well as a radical refusal to participate in this lazy, malicious, mediocre, human miasma.
Intends us malice? No way that I want to hurt anyone, much less a Blues fan.

My interest is solely to sway more fans towards wanting a TOP5 selection in the draft. It's a very hard sell, but I'm a determined SOB.

Army is trying to get TOP5 talent via an end-around, and I want the team to acquire it via the draft--like every other good team.

So why do I post about "Sideshow Distractions", you may ask. I want the Blues to operate like every other NHL team. Why should the Blues go to the Winter Class so often?!!! That doesn't make sense. Since when does the NHL do St Louis favors? Ever?

You intend the malice of bad faith interaction. It's within the rules to make arguments and ignore it when it's pointed out how flawed they are. Instead of engaging like a real person, you feel a need to become a character to represent a principle so that you are not forgotten, because you are terrified that you're not important. You are willing to sacrifice all logic or internal consistency in service of being important, even taking negative words because you're able to compartmentalize the feedback into a bucket that you've pre-labeled "invalid" since it wasn't generated by you, the main character.

All of the responses, even this very one I'm typing, I understand that's you winning. I am the only one saying you have already won by refusing to listen to people who have asked you to stop. It's a cheap victory, one capable of being one by literally anyone, it's the easiest victory, [defecating] in a pool. Congrats, you're the winner, you are significant. Pool [shirt]er.

I'm here to provide my opinions about the team, not spend time arguing with people. If people disagree with me, they can reply accordingly. I do the same on their comments. How I choose to participate here is to just share my thoughts, and then just let people decide for themselves what to believe. Arguing back and forth is boring, senseless, and a time-suck.

I'm not "winning". I want people to understand the importance of TOP5 talent, and I see little agreement with me on that. Nevertheless, this is very important to me. I want my city to enjoy the NHL like every other town.

Even in your response to Seattle you’re delusional.
You’re saying that the Blues are the ONLY city that doesn’t enjoy the NHL? So then by the rest of your posts were the ONLY team that doesn’t draft top 5??
Do you hear yourself?

Let me show you how this works...

No comment whatsoever on if I speak the truth here.

The readers are smart enough. They hear what I say. They hear what you say. The matter is settled. Have a good day.
