Take away this black'n'white line of thinking and this forum is done. |
i love the recipe-forging as much as the next fan, and i love debating recipes and discussing all the little bits and pieces, and i love how much seems to ride on whether to add 1/4 tsp. of AJ or 1/2 tsp. of AJ, or on how long to stir the bench in the 1st quarter, or on how many points in the paint need to be mixed in.
I just feel terrible, though, when the differences grow to the point that they obscure common ground (everyone cares about the team or we wouldn't be here at all) and lead to unself-checked my way or the highway or if you don't like this team (or country) go somewhere else.
dba, loved the post, that's what i'm talking about. i mean, i have to admit, i experienced a sort of perverse pleasure last night in turning the game on in the third quarter (having seen and disbelieved the score displayed on the web) just to see the train wreck, just to feel the shock and disgust (how could we be so good three nights before against the spurs and then so so bad), i saw an unguarded tay airball a jumper (over the basket! no less, that's not so easy to do!) from the baseline and turned it off, uneasily thinking: wow,, that's my team!
