As one of the older posters on CT

[Melville]

Cranny: I’m very interested in your response to this. Mel hadn’t directed any post to you in this thread, yet you swooped in and attacked him for the posts he made in this thread. You even thought you had enough training to analyze his motivation for the things he posts about (attention seeking). Why was it okay for you to question/analyze Mel re his motivations, yet you accused me of attacking you for doing the very things you had done to Mel? Would you consider your behavior to be narcissistic in nature?

Honest question for you Rojo. A number of posters have gone after Melville for his severely ego laced posts. Why do you make comments to me and not to those others?

A few observations.
One, my posts are laced only with utterly impartial analysis - free of bias, free of agenda, and free of egotism.
Two, I am far too nice, too kind, too gracious, too patient to attack others - I am only and always about the game.
Three, I never consider myself as being under personal attack by others - rather, I provide others the opportunity to express themselves as they see fit, which, to the OP's point, is instructive.
Now, isn't there a game tonight?
I am looking forward to it.

There is a game tonight.
I just hope I can somehow get it together after reading Mel’s poignant post?

The message is an admirable one, but the generational patronizing isn’t necessary.

Older folks don’t have a monopoly on virtue.

+1... several of the older posters are the most angry and judgemental...they should chill.. this is a [fork]ing anonymous site...you would think they would be relaxed and enjoy their senior years.

My senior years have enabled me to be more chill than ever.

Your senior years have turned you into a blathering, schizophrenic idiot.

Mel, you almost always behave and rarely attack other posters or tell them how to post. Unlike others who have flung considerable excrement in this thread, much like the gorillas abiding in the StL Zoo monkey house. While your posts may be a little different from the norm, I am generally impressed by your patience in the face of being called names, especially by other holier than thou posters.

Your kind and gracious words are appreciated.
But it is never about me.
Only and always about the game.

Wonderful, Rojo. You have a lot more patience than all the other posters who have told Melville what they think of his ego laced posts.
