So did Juolevi have a good game today? How far back into the thread do I have to go to find that out?
This board reads like a high school debate club 20 year reunion.
Yes, trawling though this trash is exceptionally anoying, but don't blame "THE THREAD" the dissonance in discourse is due to a single poster,
I think most people on this board are intelligent, and unlike other boards don't have their ego tied up in being "Right" I think most people hear are fine with changing thier minds in the face of a good point.
So, what then when you encounter a poster who obstinatly refuses to accept the sum of the evidence and continually posts phillibustering B.S to try and control the narritive?
You need to understand what they are doing, because it's not the same thing you are doing, thier goal is to continually have the last comment posted be supportive of whatever it is they are selling.
To take it back a step further, people should know that the Vancouver Canucks hockey club though whatever P.R firm they use, have employed a battalion of "Astroturfers" whoes job it is to try and shape public opinion by inncessant online lieing.
Think back to maybe, 2 years ago? Do you recall a legion of pro Benning supporters, who seemed to be about as in touch with reality as Joulevi was with career ECHL'ers as they breezed past him in training camp, appearing on forums?
Do you recall getting into or seeing arguments that made no sense? Where one party involved was rejecting reallity and badgering anyone who confronted them with it? And all of this happening specifically in threads involving the Canucks?
Well, now you know.
Aqua, Dim Jim and Trev (unfortunatly) have employed professional liars to cover thier blatently embaessing tracks. And Joulevi at #5 is as embaressing as they come.
Agent provocetuers like Krutov's dounut don't beive what they are saying any more than you do.
But, they decided at some point, that being a professional liar isn't something they need to be ashamed of.
It is. It's a truley pathetic way to make a living, for men of low charachter, low self esteem and low integrity.
The proof is in the p**p, and should you care to sniff your way through the last several pages each and every assertaion I make will be prove.
Oh, and there is a predictably personal attack comming up shortly, straight out of the scientology handbook, "ATTACK THE TRUTH-TELLER'S DISTRACT FROM THE TRUTH BY MAKING THEM THE PROBLEM"
There will be no reply from me other than to repeat what I have already said: Read the last several pages.
Mods? Have you not been briefed on this? Astroturfing is about the worst thing you can do on a forum, at a certain point,it's obvious the poster in question has motives beyond discussing hockey, is an "astroturf free" disscussion board not something we all want?
Once popular message board's concerning other topics have been abandoned due to "whistling past the graveyard" on this matter. ALL large companies, political parties and organizations do it, the fact that it exists and is rampant isn't in question, google around for 5 minuetes and you'll see what I mean, to think it doesn't happen here would be naive.
But the issue here is that the Canucks, due to bad press, have embarked on a completely over-the -top campain, that it's there isn't debatable (Reads some threads....ANY threads)
The question is how much longer will this be allowed to disrupt the usage of this bpoard for it's intended purpose?
