Actually it does need some explanation. I can forgive most of what Ranger writes. It is really mostly attention seeking jibberish of no consequence. Most of his trash talk doesn't bother me. Trash talking rivals can be fun and games also of no consequence.JohnBove wrote:There isn't a soul on this thread who will have trouble understanding or agreeing with what he said.But this needs some explanation.
Including you.
Insulting great athletes who you will never race against is stepping over the line. But really my opinion of his integrity is mostly due to his refusal to pay his debts. Henry would have surely paid Ranger if he lost. Ranger lost and isn't man enough to admit it. But the worse part of all is using his wife as an excuse for acting like a total a$$hole. That is inexcusable in my book.
Of course there is no chance of a 6:16. But the point being that even if he did something none of us think are possible, it doesn't change my opinion of his integrity.JohnBove wrote: Why do you address this as if it's a possibility?....
Finally, he's a joke -- a needy, pathetic fool who will say anything to attract attention. I'm not sure which is worse, his shamelessness or our pleasure in poking this village idiot with a stick.
He may be a needy pathetic fool, he may be severely mentally ill deserving much sympathy, he may even be a troll who doesn't really believe anything he says. He enjoys being poked, he likes the attention, so it is no big deal deal if we do it. (If he is severely mentally ill then we may be doing him a grave disservice and all should of us should be ashamed--I hope not.)
I'm here mostly because it is a very entertaining. Getting too involved or upset at what he writes is really foolish.
