Same old shit from the Sharks

....….tell him he is lying. That might show a bit of belated integrity.

1...I didn't watch the Sharks match, so I don’t know....given Maaiks dislike for Esterhuizen, he probably believes what he's saying, so he's probably wrong...but there's a difference between being wrong and deliberately lying...belated integrity my arse.

2...and I can't be arsed to get involved in the stupid argument about comparing the tries of the Bokke 11 years ago vs now...I really don't care. I'm too busy to go and fact check and I'm not going to call someone a liar without checking the facts...you're so caught up in the notion of always having to be right, you lose focus of the bigger picture...Maaik might be wrong about the tries the Bokke scored in 2013 and he might even be deliberately lying about it...and that would be sad, but what's even worse is you constantly deriding our Bokke and downplaying their success...and you dare to drag me into this nonsense and question my integrity...take a step back.

"wow, it's sad that that I call out posters that I don't like or agree with all the time...wtf, really?...who the hell on here doesn't do that?"

Sad that you are extremely selective with who you do it to, yes.

"So I don't have integrity because I don’t call out Mike's ramblings enough for your liking?..."no other way to look at it"...LMAO...grow up man....rich coming from you."

Well... all the proof is on this forum, just look at how many times in the past .....that various different posters have called you out on it...

I'm not saying it to insult you, I am just being honest.... and if my perception of you is incorrect, so be it.... but from I have seen, clearly it is not just my perception.

You have a warped idea of integrity...we are all selective in our responses to different issues and different people have interests in different things...what in particular about my interests and the issues I address on this forum reflects badly on my integrity?

PS...I'm not in the least insulted by your opinion of myself...I'm more curious as to exactly what it is that bothers you.

"You have a warped idea of integrity"

Well according to more than one poster on this forum.... this sounds like you.

"we are all selective in our respo nses to different issues and different people have interests in different things...what in particular about my interests and the issues I address on this forum reflects badly on my integrity?"

Just how very selective you are with only picking certain posters on this forum to question their posts, opinions or intentions, whilst completely disregarding others that you are friends with.  You know that I have mentioned this various times in the past to you, so it's not like it's something new from me.

If I am wrong, who cares, we move on.....but I am still going to post my opinion on it.

"PS...I'm not in the least insulted by your opinion of myself...I'm more curious as to exactly what it is that bothers you"

Great, I would hope not, it was not meant to offend, it was just some honesty.

Just like I am never bothered about what people post on here, neither should you .... none of us really know each other.... so why should it ever offend us.

Draad knows quite a lot about Rugby Dave

Well the more than just one poster questioning my integrity can build their bridges and get over it...

There are ways to disagree without complaining all the time...if you don’t like it, don't read it...I don’t bother with taking him on about Mostert or Esterhuizen...he knows what my views are on them and a few other issues...it serves no purpose to keep harping on about it...and it's not pity, it's empathy...not the same thing either.

 I respect most on here, but that doesn't keep me from disagreeing with anyone...there are enough posters on here highlighting some of Maaiks failings and blind spots, no need for me to ad to that...that doesn't mean I agree with him or back him up when he is wrong.

It’s not failings or blind spots …..it’s dishonesty. Right here on this string. I describe what happened in Connacht’s tries, I provide the time stamps….but he still claims it’s Esterhozen’s faults., Not by examining  my explanations and providing reasons he disagrees….but by just becoming insulting.

You clearly  won’t deal with it, not because he gets flak from others, but because you have a total loyalty to him. 

Who cares. But if you then disagree with others, which do quite frequently, the hypocrisy is rather sickening.

Yes, no reason in his feelings, he made up his mind and he's sticking to his guns...why do you even bother?...and it's not loyalty on my part...I don’t know Mike personally...to tell you the truth, I can't put my finger on it, I just feel no compulsion to take him on when he's clearly wrong on some things...and I don’t know why it bothers you to the extent of questioning my integrity and character...why is it so important to you to prove him wrong?

PS...im intuitive,  I don’t think these things trough...I just go with my gut...

PPS...and it's not only Mike, there's a few others too...absolutely nothing to do with loyalty or friendship.

"...Moz and Mike are in similar age brackets."

Indeed, and it shows. Other than typing skills (where Moffie has a distinct edge), they're almost the same person . . . bashing away at the other day in and day out and calling the other a liar while sticking their tongues out at each other like 5 year olds.

Actually I was thinking you and Mike were the same person. He can’t get the year right when we scored 22 tries, even though it was given to him on a platter. And you can’t remember the string on which I commented on Fassi, even through I put it right on the Board. Went on hilariously denying it was the string I was quoting. Two thick mediocrities….but nice deep dive though, just like Saaiman you also didn’t have the guts to admit you were wrong.
