I haven't seen Illmatic condescend to anyone, other than those willfully not attempting to understand his points which are usually quite clear, even if I don't agree. My only beef with anyone has been an unwillingness to explain their "WHY" in a short summation despite innumerable comments that could fill a section of the Library of Congress. Once I understood the general points, all of which are boilerplate for the Ben haters, I had no more interest in engaging because I knew those points and disagree. I find you to be reasonable in your posts and even when you get heated it's clear what you mean. There's only one real troll around here who is just trying to stir shit, and no it's not Dviss he's just passionate about his position and I respect him I just was frustrated with his refusal to explain his position. Now that I know it, I know as I thought, that they are all points I've heard a million times and disagree with. The only time I see Ilmatic sound condescending is when he's explained himself ad nauseum and people continue to misrepresent or willfully fail to see his point. It's a common trait among sports fans. As they say, opinions are like assholes, we all got one and all sports fans kinda are one.
