No, I don't have an axe to grind. I find it hilarious that when anyone doesn't take the company line from our front office that they are "bitter" or have an "axe to grind."

As with anything, there are two sides of the argument here between you and I... Odds are the truth lies somewhere in between.

I was just elaborating on my point P55, because you asked for an explanation of why I thought what I did or felt what I felt about the situation. So, I explained it. But, then you continued to insinuate that I was being irrational or speaking purely out of emotion because my stance didn't jibe with yours.

It's fine to disagree. I appreciate your posts and perspective. But, I don't like feeling like someone is being condescending towards my view when it is just as grounded or as far-fetched as theirs depending on how you view it. I don't see anything that differentiates my opinion from yours as far as what it is based on, we just differ on the opinion itself.

No big deal, and if you don't want to debate it, that's understandable... I'd just prefer you didn't write it off as irrational or emotion-based because you don't agree with it, because it isn't.

But you do have an axe to grind and your logic doesn't make sense to me at all. You are free to call it condescending if you prefer but the fact is that if you are going to criticize the staff and coaches then the onus of proof is on you. And I see very little in your argument that bears any resemblance to facts just your speculation of what happened. Unlike my posts which don't have conspiracy theories like scapegoating and the like. I believe he fired him because he didn't like some aspect of how they coached and wants an upgrade. To me that is a whole lot easier to defend then making up some conspiracy theory that he had to fire people to make it look like he doing something right and that he was just trying to protect Chud. And I don't agree that the position coaches were doing such a good job that he sacrificed them but let others stay for no good reason.

So forgive me for not wanting to debate back and forth, I just see very little in your argument that rings close to the truth for me. Maybe it is me but I didn't believe other conspiracy theories like the world was going to end on December 21st either. So it isn't not wanting to debate so much as there is nothing new you said that makes me think we need to keep debating. I don't think you are right and don't agree with any of your conclusions. What else is there to say.

I do respect your opinions but disagree with them. We can agree to disagree but unless your theories are confirmed it is all speculation. You are welcome to believe what ever you want, I am just not in agreement.
