My turn to getcha! Gotcha!

[Propagandist]

Many a poster in here loves him/her/their some I-told-you-so moments, or the inverse of I-told-you-so: you-told-me-so but you were wrong! And I get it, you got them! Nice work!

But for the love of god this poster finds it annoying AND embarrassing (b and c above!). Now just *maybe* I've broken protocol by posting this, but all these gotcha posts can fuck off.

And I'm torn because I like many of the posters posting them (yeah I'm talking about you), but sometimes you've got to help those you love and I'm here to help: this is like the repercussions of winning an argument with your spouse, ie sometimes when you win you lose.

In other, other words, and I'm still talking to you gotcha-people, the gotcha! is for you and you alone. I'm going out on a limb that NO ONE thinks more of you when you point such things out...quite to the contrary...

And I know, I know it's a forum, but I can't be alone in this...or can I...?

I hate that Natebishop3 guy. He's an asshole and I'm way smarter than he is.

I've been completely wrong before and apologized both times!

I mean that wasn’t my intent…but
I get it. I really thought we could anonymously shame people into stopping. I’m an optimistic ie idiot.

I really like most everyone in here. I’m just throwing it out in general. No specifics.

 

[BBert]

I was wrong once last year but everyone has me on ignore so no-one noticed and I'm not going to say shit about it either.

 

[Strenuus]

I am so fucking smart with how many times I've been right.

 

[Chris Craig]

It's one thing to have a cool prediction and turn out to be right. But, bragging is a fools errand. I myself have used I told you so in good humor. But, I draw the line at being spiteful and prideful in such a manner. No need to beat dead horses and such.

You braggadocious bastard!

 

[Strenuus]

You braggadocious bastard!

You don't talk to your superiors like that!

 

[Strenuus]

Btw there's no way I can be serious here with how fucking wrong I am ALL THE TIME.

 

[Chris Craig]

You don't talk to your superiors like that!

Superior? Lol

 

[Chris Craig]

I think all of us have had our fair share of being wrong. Many us have too been lucky enough to be right on occasion.

 

[Strenuus]

Superior? Lol

All three letters that separate inferior from superior are lower. That's how the word exists!

 

[riverman]

I think Propagandist is referencing posters who end posts with "BAM!"

Nice

I figured that. I just thought if I said that at the beginning then there wouldn't be any problems.

 

[Natebishop3]

But you're right 0% of the time 100% of the time.

 

[BBert]

Well you were wrong!

It’s Fairly Hard to figure out what this thread is about really?

You're the biggest bitch in this forum.

 

[Strenuus]

That's being generous.

I was trying to think if this post was addressed at me in some way, but then I realized that I’m never right.

 

[Hoopguru]

I don't believe the word humble is in this thread till now?

Was this thread a bad idea? Probably. But don’t we all want this place to be mostly light and funny? I mean, I can rage with the best of them, but gotcha-isms seem really against the spirit of things.

I’m being vague because I want things to be better. We are talking about the Blazers, a passion for all of us, and like most things we all approach from different angles, but the core is there: Blazer fandom.

(I’m never right either.)

Nah. Good thread, but you’re trying to change one of the basic defects in the human psyche. Good luck.

The thing is, you don't have to be right, you just have to think you're right.

I try to think as little as possible. Gives me a headache.
