I haven't "fallen" for anything as NO ONE has been asked for money. If he's a service, he would/will be exposed as people are still able to make a decison on their own. A guy like EZ starts a service and he gets pats on the back b/c he needs money for the IRS. Not knowing all the facts in his case, would it be right for me to assume EZ was scaming the IRS and not paying his share? My point is there is an inherent hypocrisy here. Rainman hasn't asked for money, (blasted), EZ does ask (pat,pat)
My thoughts are if the guy claims 80%, who cares? Everyone with 2 brain cells knows this is IMPOSSIBLE over the course of any season. Runs yes, long haul no. So my comments aren't to support his claims, but to support his right to post without the horseshit responses.
To protect the newbies is horseshit also. The odds of a newbie coming onto this site looking for that one bailout winner is one in a thousand. Think about it. They will be looking for service plays, which is what the site was all about until the ban came. And who's to say the newbie doesn't look at Wayne's monster game, or Moondogs tennis, or whomever has a BIG play. And I am not singling them out as they are 2 fine cappers, and others on here have 10*, big plays, play of night, etc. So you say to a newbie, "Screw the low-posting Rainman, who's just a service (a free one too), and follow EZ (service who charges), Wayne, Homer, RJ, etc. What if they have a BIG play and it loses? Have you done your job of protecting the newbie? Or just b/c the newbie was dumb enough to chase or go all in on one play, ( a lesson they should learn not to do, and we all have) it's OK b/c they followed someone on Kapt's approved list?
You say you don't like arrogance, claim he's arrogant, yet go into EVERY one of his threads. If you don't like him, DON"T GO INTO HIS THREADS. It seems pretty simple huh? Like Savage always bitching about service records, which we all know are false, yet calling comp lines 24/7. Why?
To wrap it up, I just think the rules of the site should just be enforced more "across the board", including the clique with regard to bashing (tone not plays). It's one thing to disagree with a play, but to stay on someone constantly b/c you don't like their tone, etc is insane. And that applies to everyone, not just Rainman. So I'm not standing up for him but to the double-standards.
Good luck with your plays!!
