I'm sorry to say I don't really enjoy debating with you - not because you are in any way "winning" the argument - but because you tend to debate like a woman.... you choose things out of context and latch onto them - and make those misconceptions of my true meaning your basis for further dialogue.
That way you never really reply to a question or comment fully and nothing is ever resolved.
Maybe your alter ego is truer to your nature than I originally thought?
That having been said - I really don't take your insults to heart - so to alleviate occasional boredom, I'll comment on some of the things you say, at my leisure:
- You contradict yourself when you say that US teams will pick up Euro players to any significant degree, when you also say Euro players don't have nearly the same talent as any gruop of kids at SC Village.
- You won a game against the Ducks once - how cool is that !! - must be one of your prouder moments in paintball? - OH - did I tell you? - I once shot Olliver Lang in a game... it's true - really - it IS!!!
- Don't really care to discuss my past results (or lack thereof) in a public forum, as that can too easily be misunderstood for bragging... so go ahead - take your cheap shots all you like - you won't get a raise out of me on that account
- Don't think I could make a top team with european players, with the right budget? - Don't really care... because the point really wasn't whether I could do so personally - but whether the concept was feasible.... I am touched however, that you have taken such an interest in me, that you know all about my capabilities.... it's really quite flattering - are you a fan - deep down, beneath that standoffish posturing?
(it would however be interesting to hear from - for instance Pete - if he thinks he could create such a team, given the same budget as one of the top US teams, and being able to pick any 10 players in all of Europe?)
- Apology for what? - have you forgotten to take some form of medication for paranoia you were supposed to remember at regular intervals?... and an apology won't get me out of what exactly?
- Alterior motive? - Hmm... apparently you are blind to the things I write when they do not allow you to keep your (apparently extreme) temper at a high... because I specificly said that I had no idea whether you had an alterior motive or not. - I decidedly said that if you did NOT have an alterior motive with that post, I DID owe you an apology... If you know in your heart you didn't have an alterior motive, you have your apology.... So what is your problem exactly (aforementioned lack of medication?)?
- Comparing team budgets - I fail to see why you keep debating this... Either you guys are paying your main European team WAY more than most other teams on the continent are getting.... or you suck at math..... ALL the NXL teams plus at least 4 US NPPL teams are way beyond the reach budgetwise for Euro teams.... so in fact it's more than 5-6 teams..... someone (was that you?) said "benefactors not sponsors".... but I don't care where the money comes from - the important thing is how it is spent.... and how much paintball those teams can play compared to the best teams in Europe - and with what players.
- You don't think a European team could be created that could be a contender?.... You don't think - in all of Europe - you could find 10 players with that kind of quality?.... well ok... that is your right ofcourse.... but I'll beg to differ (and why US teams would then pick up Euro players, is then an even greater mystery to me).
BTW - I don't think you suck..... I just think you are in severe need of a hug
