That's excluding time spent throwing up.
Exactly. I'm not reading it even if it took 2 minutes.

If I go start a thread in Baseball Talk titled "What if the Cards traded Pujols to the Yankees?", what do you think the response would/should be?
A
twenty-one page grand jury report and a
fifty page thread. We're talking about a huge amount of content here. To condescendingly dismiss questions with responses like "you don't deserve to ask questions or voice an opinion [if you haven't read the grand jury report]" is pretentious and obnoxious, and is unreasonable under any circumstances.

It's perfectly reasonable to tell someone the conclusion they are drawing without all of the relevant information is invalid.

Okay, maybe so, but that doesn't mean you need to be completely tactless and pompous about it.

No one was tactless or obnoxious about that. Some people perceived it that way, but their perception is their own fault. People shouldn't have to qualify every critical post with over the top politeness.

Man. You're boiling with rage and I'm kind of confused. I have no idea why you and another poster feel this way. Seriously.

I think it's probably just semantics and I'm misconstruing what you're saying. And every time you try to innocently downplay and clarify, I'm misinterpreting it to be arrogant and stubborn refusal to admit you were wrong. I'm sorry.
