I don't agree with any of this.  I think you are being wildly pedantic and this feels more like its coming from a grudge based on earlier disagreements.

If your intent was really to be helpful, you could have said something like "you should probably clarify that only one of the picks was a first and why don't you think Din was an asset?".  But instead you come out with an attack.  Why don't you call out anyone else who is stating opinion as fact?  It happens all the time on this board, including the guy you are "protecting".  I think you owe me an apology for a malicious attack, but I'm not holding my breath.

Am I being pedantic? Yes. But imo that is necessary at times. 

Did I "attack" you? Not intended to be that. I can see how you may have  seen it as personal, but it was not (and if i stepped over the line somewhere, did not intend it that way, and my apologies.) I did object to the comments, which i saw to be both objectively untrue (not hint they were an expression of an opinion) and somewhat deceptive in the context offered of what you replied to and quoted, and I still feel that way. 

You say I could have replied differently, but to do it  as you suggest, I would have had to seen a clue that you saw your statement as merely your own opinion and not fact. That was nowhere to be found, and I responded to what WAS written rather than trying to imagine what was not. That's on you, as is the fact that when I objected to what WAS written, you attack rather than say "Oops, i said that wrong", which would have avoided all that ensued when you tried to prove what you said was somehow right.

If you mean to say that I don't think the 2nds should be counted, then say that and try to justify its validity. (I disagree 100% and think that ignores very clear and ongoing NBA operations that are easy to see.) If you want to say YOU didn't see SD as an asset [at all, apparently], then say it that way rather than simply saying he wasn't as a blanket statement. Objectively that blanket statement is false, because of all the reasons I have already offered and more. But the main point is that there was no indication you were saying "this is just MY opinion" and that part is not on the reader.

Again, my apologies if you thought my comments were personal attack. That was not my intent at all. I didn't think what was said was true as stated, and that was what I was addressing.
