Getting Pulled into the Fray

[Reginald Rutledge]

A simple question was asked about weighting players up to 4.0 grams and the next thing I know, I having to defend the merits of the 4.0 grams standards. Many years ago, I use to have to defend the 3.2 grams standard. And the stadium thing. And the flexible FF.COM figure thing. And the Shootout thing. And the natural v. boil base thing! And on and on! Sometimes it gets old, REAL OLD!

I will try to stay out of YALL's bizznezz and just mind my own. When I spend too much time arguing about things that probably don't concern me, I lose valuable time inventing and creating things that are important to me. So from here on out, if the issue does not address me, I will stay away from the post and out of that argument. Now, let's see how long that last?

Reg, please continue to post, I hold your opinion in the highest regard. There are a handful of guys out there who have been in the game as long as you and we need guys like you to chime in on things. I have said it before, we need differing views, it may and can get ugly at times, but this is how we learn, we, meaning you and me, everybody.

If a post gets ugly I may not learn anything new about the topic, but I do and have learned something about myself when I re-read what I posted. I have gotten into it pretty good with RJ back on the Michael Vick issue, I learned a lot about myself during those exchanges. If a post gets me pumped up when I read it, then I wait a day or two to reply now.

I know when someone disagrees with me, I enjoy going at with them, as oft times in this exchange I will find myself going to places or forming ideas and opinions I normally may not have, and to me that is a good thing some times.

Say your peace, believe me it is valued.
