I wish I could pin this to the top of this board so that people can continuously be reminded but since I can't I'm leaning toward shutting down the flow cause I'm sick and tired of grown folks acting like kids. Then you can get your weather from a real expert.

Few years ago I predicted that a recruit would go to UM. It was simply a prediction in a line of predictions made by me and others just to pass the day. Within an hour I see a post on the MSU board by a mod calling for this recruit to go to UM. Within another hour I get a call from UM rivals mod asking me to delete/edit my post because MSU coaches had called to challenge the recruit on why he was wasting MSU's time when he had made up his mind to go to UM. Then the recruit calls UM asking them why they are lying about getting him commiting to them. All because I simply made a frickin prediction.

I've had buds on their jobs get harassed because they are supposedly leaking information to me.

ON THEIR JOBS.

So here's the deal for the last frickin time. I have to be very careful in anything I say because it often has legs and not just among UM fans. ADULTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THIS EXPLAINED TO THEM.

I dont get paid for information nor do I get any satisfaction in having people go stupor on me cause I happen to post something. I post simply because if I was on the outside, I might want to know whats going on inside and would hope that others with real stuff would reciprocate.

And people who know me, are well aware of the fact that I dont the time or inclination to chit chat or bullshit.

But I get the heat when something comes back on me, nobody else. None of y'all.

I'll reply to your original post point by point:

"I think it's unfair of you to blame poor reading comprehension when you have to clarify and correct and reiterate what you've said. If you don't want to have to do that, then don't post in code. "The ice is thawing" and "it's sunny where I live" or whatever the quotes were are practically *begging* people to interpret. And people will get it wrong. "

My post was not the original post in the thread you are referring to. I expect people to follow the thread and therefore my reply. THAT IS NOT AN UNREASONABLE EXPECTATION. I wont go into detail what the entire thread consisted of because its proprietary information. But if I was reading that thread from somebody I know has a history of pretty solid infomation UI would: (1) Keep it to myself unless I was totally sure what it meant and (2) Not pretend that I knew what was being said when I really dont.

Yeah so I blame anyone who didnt know what I was saying but nevertheless represented that they knew exactly what I was saying for being irresponsible and immature.

"Really, if we stuck to literally interpreting your posts, those threads would be "Dot gives weather update."

That would be just fine with me cause I dont get paid for giving whatever you want to describe the infomation as not being.

"If you want to post in code, if you think there are reasons why you can't be too clear in what you're saying, fine. But you kind of lose the option of criticizing people for misinterpreting."

Naw man I dont lose the option of critcizing people for taking something that I said and putting a patently wrong meaning to it especially when they arent sure what I said.

Why act like you know when you know you dont?

But you're about to lose the option of having me say nothing ever again if you dont figure something out real fast.
