My last post should have been in response to this post by trent:
trentonlf: Why are you trying to get me to change my vote? Is it because I should feel sorry for Leonard? Everyone has RL that interferes at times and most will also be heavily scrutinized at some point. Just because had a strong reaction to it does not sway my vote. I don't like the comment even after his explanation or yours, but I do find it interesting you are defending him.
I am not trying to get you to change your vote. If I provide a faulty reason for voting for a player, I hope someone points it out. Whether I chose to acknowledge the fault, change my vote or vote for other reasons is up to me. The same holds true for you. I asked you to consider if your stated reason for voting loses its persuasiveness when considered inside of the full context. Apparently, your answer is no.
So then my question is, why do we disagree? If Leonard’s statement within its full context can be easily interpreted as both yours and mine, then we may merely have a matter of different interpretations. Two town butting heads. If we simply disagree, that’s fine. I’ve not ruled out this possibility entirely, but it currently doesn’t feel that way. Instead of just answering the question, you begin with conjecture and answer the question last. Your responses about the hammer felt that way as well, more defensive/reactive than expected for a town player. My vote stands.
For clarity’s sake: No one should feel sorry for Leonard or give him a break. He should be evaluated solely on his play. I recognize reasons to vote for him.
@Sage – that partly answers your question, I have more to add in another post
I see a lot has happened since morning. I would like to get my other reads on the table before the hammer, working on that now.
