Him calling himself the greatest ever in the very same conversation as he discusses his commitment to the Christian faith is really something.

What's a little snark between friends? 😉 I get it, though. It's hard to be patient online. Most people aren't genuinely interested in hearing someone else's view. I was.

Oh, wait. No. I see what you're responding to. It is in the thread, and I missed it. Again, appreciate you taking the time to clarify. It was kind of you to do so.

Oh. You know what? If they said that, I haven't seen those posts. I only looked at the ones directly in this thread. That does help. Thank you!

...It's also possible, though, that I'm misstating your argument. So let me know if I misunderstood what you were saying.

I must be missing it. They literally use the hashtag Pedo Don, so what in their argument translates to you as "powerful people can't be immoral?" I think their argument is "powerful people should be judged by the standard of their time." Then they misstate what that standard was in 1776...

There are other stories. But bottom line: Saying the on-ice product needs to improve is like saying Victor Wembanyama is tall. However, the fans are fun and passionate and show up despite how little the club is regarded outside of Ohio.

The team's biggest star by far to that point demanded a a trade. That request was honored. He was booed mercilessly when he took the ice against the CBJ with the NY Rangers. What does he do now? Um. He's in Columbus' front office. (This is the midwest. We can't stay mad.) www.nhl.com/bluejackets/...

Oooh, oooh! Can I introduce you? The Blue Jackets have a cannon that fires after goals. They once tried to turn the cannon into an inflattable mascot and abandoned it after three days because it was too phallic. sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-gr...

I agree that the original post was off base, and you're 100% correct that might doesn't make right. (A point you make eloquently.) But also to be fair, I don't think that is the exact argument OP was making.
