I actually did defend both Nadal and Djokovic a couple of times even though they're not my favourite players,ask Morrisey if you don't believe me(he even called me a Djokovic fan at one time even though I'm not).IMO it's wrong to trash and insult both Nadal and Federer and you act like it's only wrong to insult Nadal but it's fine to insult Fed.There's a difference between criticizing and bashing and I never called you a basher or similar now,did I? Criticizm I'm fine with but saying childish things like Fed sucks and that posters here have better volleys(both of these things were said by Sampras fans here).As for me not seeing what Fed fans do,I could say the same for you ,you do not see what Nadal fans and Sampras fans do.
I'm confused as to why you're posting this to me:
1. Why would I care if you defended Nadal and Djokovic?
2. Why would I waste my time asking Morrissey if you defended them?
3. People can trash whomever they please. Why would that bother you? This is a board with over a thousand members, you should expect that.
4. I'm hanging on this board because I'm a procrastinator simply passing time. I don't get emotionally involved with these posters, nor the athletes I watch. Many of these posters amuse me, and I'm fascinated at how involved they are with their faves to the point where they call complete strangers idiots and trolls.
5. The Sampras fans saying things that you don't like has nothing to do with me so I am clueless as to why you keep bringing this to my attention.
6. Regarding what Nadal fans say, to me many times it is in direct opposition to what a Fed Fan has said. The Nadal fans are usually defending against unwarranted attacks. Whereas, some of the posts the Fed Fans make are positively revolting and cruel in nature. That's the difference. Now, the other reason I may not be able to distinguish which are Nadal ****s or/Fed ****s is because if the thread title is stupid, I neither enter it, or post to it (Unless I'm in a wacky mood). Just like the post you brought to my attention last week. I never saw that thread because the title said it all. Why would I go in there to see such drivel?
In addition, I've never trashed Federer, I just don't hold him in the same high esteem that his fans do. Because of that I've been called Nad ****, idiot, troll, liar, all manner of things. The reality is that anything that isn't glorifying Fed on this board bothers the majority of Fed Fans. And lately, even you have been pretty testy regarding perceived "insults" to Federer.
I could care less if someone criticizes Nadal, but I do have an issue with those who do it and then come back at you crying because you don't like Fed (not you, but there are plenty of them). I also have never hunted anyone down because they didn't agree with me, but I will defend the right to my opinion, because who is someone else to determine what my position should be?
I am not a crowd pleaser, or an approval seeker. I do not care about belonging to a group or being politically correct. If I have an opinion I will voice it. It is no more than any other poster on this board. Everyone that hits submit is typing in their own opinion, so I don't appreciate people chasing me down telling me how vehemently they disagree with my opinion. So dang what! Am I to cry because someone doesn't agree with me? Hardly! But what's even funnier is that I don't even remember who calls themselves not liking me here. There's less than ten people who's screen name I recognize because it's not that deep to me. When someone comes after me with a vengeance (and there's been plenty) I usually have to check their history to even see who they are.
If this post offends you I'm sorry, but I've had my fill of people ignoring an entire group of bashers because they're on the same side, and then being hypocrites and chastising the other side.
