One thing you are omitting, Dave, is that DaHoss's " competition " hardly acted in a sportsmanlike manner throughout the contest while DaHoss held his tongue. If someone sets the tone throughout there is hardly a right to complain when someone else follows suit.

BTW...I'm not complaining about Hossy (I was in his corner along with most during the contest)...
My post was not a poke at Hossy (nor yourself) but rather a poke at those who choose to get up on the soapbox and preach about the principle of sportsmanship or lack thereof...

While the analogy compares situations that have taken place in vastly different arenas... for arguments sake the issues/principles may be considered somewhat similiar

-The competition... PG and RA's current connections are quite unpopular

-"Legal" Methods to enhance one's chances of winning exist(ed) but may be less than sporting.

I clearly realize that poking a lil fun at those who are preachy but inconsistent is no way to win a popularity contest...but hey I'm bored and it is afterall just the internet.

Not to mention poking at some that haven't even commented on "the principle of sportsmanship or lack thereof" to this point...

....but would it help if I acknowledge that you and a couple of others were unintended victims of unintentional collateral damage...

I'm glad I made the top of the list for "lack of sportsmanship" when the contest in reference involves a clown who continually reincarnated himself after getting himself banned under laughable circumstances.
