Good News -- Another Year of AK47!

[Marty McFly]

Do you call them at home or on their cell?

McFly, they have their email addresses right on the website. And the phone number for sports is also posted. Haven't you ever called a newspaper before? I've worked for newspapers, so I'm familiar with the newsroom. People call all the time. In fact, you want people to call because sometimes they supply useful information. You never know when you're looking for information for a story when something useful might turn up.

I'm sure they love having some nutbag calling up asking them to support him in his message board battles.

All I would do is ask about the quote, where to find it, because it probably was or is posted somewhere ... people who are looking for information aren't nutbags. That's what education is, obtaining information. Isn't that why you come to this site, or is it to insult people?

When I am looking for a quote from an article I use a tool called a search engine it is much quicker and I don't waste the time of another human being with my inane question.

I don't think I come here necessarily to insult people but sometimes I can't help commenting on a paranoid, over sensitive old ninny with a persecution complex.

Well, it would've been nice then if you helped out this thread and searched for the quote, instead insulting of me again, wouldn't it?

Also, the problem with that is we only know two exact words from the quote, "will be," as referenced by the reporter

 

[Hopper]

How can you know the reporter was wrong, One Brow? Did KOC tell you? Unless you've been at all the press conferences and heard everything KOC said ??? ...You say KOC "never" has made such a statement, but the reporter reported that he did. If you were a competing reporter I might believe you, but you're not.

Like I done said, I don't really post in this here joint no more but given all your recents problems with misunderstandings, and the like, Write, Imma stick up fo ya in this here case, because you deserve it.

This reporter claimed, and least implicitly, that KOC had given prior assurance that AK "would be" with the Jazz on opening day. So a dispute arises:

1. There are those who disbelieve that KOC would EVER say such a thing, and it certainly doesn't sound like sumthin he would say, normally, anyway. But any conclusions they draw from that premise are merely a priori speculation, not anything empirical. Unless, perhaps, they know what KOC did say, and just how it was misinterpreted (assuming it was) by the reporter. Neither Eric nor anyone else has any way of "knowing," other than by deduction, what (all) KOC has ever said. They may be right, but until the matter is cleared up by someone who does know, they can't know they're right.

2. You seem to have consistently said ONLY that you are relying on the reporter for your claims. Unlike some prior occasions, you are not claiming to "know," you're simply quoting someone else and stating your basis for you claims. Quite fair of you to do so, and you have not over-reached in you statements at all, that I can tell.

3. Arguing about whether or not the reporter made a mistake is, at this point, kinda like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin: No one knows the empirical answer, it's all just futile speculation at this point.

If you find the (prior) quote in question, or learn any more about how it came to be alleged, let us know, eh? Until then, I aint able to say nuthin more except perhaps to express what I believe "on faith," like the rest of y'all.

He'll miss half the season to injury anyway.

Why would I want to help you? I find you reprehensible...

The quote would be easy to find for anyone under the age of thirty five.

 

[write4u]

The quote was never published, only a paraphrase, see the new post. What I find reprehensible is the way a lot of people act on this site, yourself included.
