No. You weren’t. If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private. But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that. Your call. Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster. You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice. The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly. And you’ve been doing this for months now. This is not new. The pattern is clear and obvious. And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly. Maybe not friends, but friendly. You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.” “Good deed going unpunished”. You flatter yourself. But your actions speak much louder than your words. There’s no reason for me to trust you. And here we are. A real shame. -
In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example). And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects. -

Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished! -

Not the least bit surprised to hear from you at this moment. You see me in an uncomfortable conversation (with a moderator no less) and you seize the moment to take a shot at me. And you try to act like you’re giving me a sincere explanation of what you’re doing. Like you have an ounce of credibility with me. This is not the first time you’ve done this. While I may not be surprised, I’m certainly disappointed. -

Things have now gone from bad to worse. After I explained myself, I was kind of hoping you’d simply come back with “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you, may bad.” And we’d be done with this. It would be over. But instead, you double down on the roommate issue and follow up by questioning everything I said by breaking down some of my comments and what you think I really meant by them. In other words, you’re telling me my motive, my meaning, as if you know my meaning better than I do. It’s interesting to me…. I was recently told there’s an unofficial moderator policy: don’t attack the poster, attack the argument. Well, I don’t see that here. You attacked me personally the first time and instead of a simple apology, you’ve double downed on a bad hand by attacking me personally AGAIN. Why you’re comfortable telling me you know my meaning , my intention, better than I do is mystifying to me. And frankly, I think you’re comfortable doing this because one of us is a moderator, and it certainly is NOT me. I’ll say it again: you misunderstood my meaning, and intention, the first time, and you’ve misunderstood me even worse the second time. As I said before, I’m happy to withdraw and apologize for “go figure”, but the negative inference was not my intention. Poorly phrased, I give you (in two posts now). I don’t know what else to say…. I’m hoping this brings this very unfortunate exchange to an end.
