    napalm,

    I think you are probably right. I don't really know how bad the bridges were burned but I trust Clutch's articles about them.

    Sorry cuddie keeps wanting me to respond like he's trying to buy a HP touchpad and i'm Best Buy.

    The thing is, everyone is already well aware of your opinion. You don't really post anything new, and oftentimes you don't even post anything relevant at all.

    Nearly every thread. As I've said before, you're making progress which is a good sign.

    My strategy is to actually explain to you the problem. People have tried before, but they usually give up after pages and pages of irrelevant pop culture references and TOF talk.

    As for your question, people were explaining why before you entered the thread. Some think we're close to contention. Some cite the 60% win stat. Some think it's a good gamble for the vet min. Some want him to mentor Terrence Williams. I don't agree, but they're entitled to their opinion.

    Nowhere did I find someone saying that McGrady was their hero, and they miss him. That's you giving yourself an excuse to post pictures of old school basketball players and McGrady's second round stats...which you do in nearly every McGrady thread I see you in.

    this seems like you are talking about yourself. we are aware of your opinion of me and tracy and when people say stuff about tracy that you don't like.

    and we are aware you don't like it when I post old school players.

    Ok,
    here's a new school player and reason why this fantasy of his return won't happen.

    I have a purpose. I'm trying to get you to stop the madness once and for all. All I'm asking is that you stop calling anyone who sees things differently from you a TOF. That you stop going into McGrady threads posting the same things over and over, because it does nothing but detract from this board we all love. That's really it. I don't have a problem with your opinion, and I'm not trying to change it.

    I don't think people realistically believe he'll return. But the thread was asking whether or not you wanted him back at the vet min. Some people think he can complement Kevin Martin. I disagree. You disagree. Noted.

    I'm going to ask you stop going to McGrady threads and say the same things over and over and stop calling people who believe that McGrady was not as relevant a tinman coalition member.

    It's detracts from this board we all love.

    That's really it.

    I don't have a problem with your opinion.

    I'm not trying to change it.

    Now hit that reply button like you are on the price is right.

    This is the first time you've asked me to do that, while that's the only thing I've been asking you this entire time. I don't call people who believe Tracy was not relevant a member of your coalition. That's way too many people. Only those who post in nearly every McGrady thread calling people TOFs that rewrite history, etc.

    But, fair enough. The only reason I post in these threads is to try to get you to stop your nonsense. If I've accomplished that, I have no reason to repeat myself.

    Glad to see you go out with another pop culture reference though. I don't watch that show, but I'm relatively sure there isn't a reply button. Ah well.

    I'll never pick you for trivial pursuit.

    Who is rewriting history? That would be cool. Do you mean NBA history? I've noticed several inconsistencies on people's recollection of history, but some who actually rewrote it? wow!

    You've accomplished adding more post counts to your record. I think can probably catch up to me in time, you won't catch DD, he's Brett Favre of Clutchfans.

    Hey you started this thread. You believe there are TOFs?
    But according to others, they don't exist!

    The truth. it's out there.

    A sound decision, trivial pursuit lives up to its name in my mind.

    Actually, you and the people I refer to as your coalition said that. I don't think anyone is rewriting history, and I've told you that multiple times. But yes, that would be cool I suppose.

    I don't think I'll ever catch up to either of you, but thanks for the support.

    You know, I don't hate you tinman. I enjoyed your historical posts before they turned into troll bait. As personal as things have gotten, Clutchfans wouldn't be the same without you. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Mostly better lately, but I hope that can change.


    Sigh. Just when we were making some progress. The guy who started the thread was rational at first, trying to take both sides into account because I guess he was genuinely curious about why people wanted him back or not. He even seemed pro-Tracy, surprisingly. But 12 pages later, after you entered and started calling people TOFs, he starts the TOF talk. If that's your incontrovertible evidence for the existence of TOFs...heavier sigh.

    If you're still convinced that they are still active here, who here is a Tracy Only Fan, tinman?

    I can't peer into people's minds or hearts.
    Maybe it's something that possesses your mind like a zombie state.

    Here's an example. It's in the GARM, the highlights are not of the Rockets and the actual truth is a lie (read the actual results of the game). Thank goodness some Rockets fans notice that it didn't belong.

    There are TOFs, oh there are.
    But there are more fans for Tracy than there are haters like you.
    Just give up, lmao.

    Oh yeah I'm a huge Wade and Derrick fan.
    I don't have to like ONLY the Rockets; something that you don't understand.
    Be more open-minded... seriously.

    The existence of TOFs and YOFs were spotted by many clutchfans before I discovered them. I didn't mind their existence, they just puzzle me.

    I wasn't responsible for that terminology. I take full responsibility of the term "99ers".
    :cool:

    This never occured to me until now...
    But you are an egomaniac aren't you?
    God damn, all this time your annoying banter was just a desperate cry for help.

    You know what. I told you I wouldn't argue with you in T-Mac threads. Did I not?
    I'm just going to walk away. Lol.

    I'm confused now, I thought this thread was about McGrady and all you want to do is talk about me.

    :confused:

    I haven't posted in a thread about McGrady in two years and look at my SN. Tinman is a troll - many of you guys getting baited in this thread are old members...... how have you not realized this yet?

    This is fun to him. Chill out people.

    That thread was from June 2009, when McGrady was still a Rocket. I asked you to name for me an active TOF here, because it's been over a year and a half since he's been traded and you're still babbling on about TOFs that have long since dispersed.

    I gave you an example of what the TOF illness could do to a person. I particularly like this example, too bad you don't like it.

    The TOF could mutate and resemble any type of fan when it is dormant.

    I fear there's a sleeper cell of TOFs waiting to flash Daryl Morey when Tracy McGrady gets an ESPN highlight dunk.

    How do I know you aren't infected with the TOF? How can I help?
