Looks like Happy and Zach were both wrong. In this case it appears as if it's his parents that don't want him around, especially his Mom. This has ground to a halt after yesterday's "not just an announcement" press conference was imminent. Not even one posting today about Shamorie.Truly insightful post. You shouldn't be shy about posting more of these well thought out and researched opinions. Dave, in the short time I have been posting here I have respected you as a moderator. When I posted the above quote, I thought that it was obvious that Ponds parents, or at least his mother, did not want him to stay in NYC. If anyone didn't, at the time, agree with me, then that is fine. That's what message boards are for. But when I saw the obnoxious and vitriolic posts, especially from Pete88, I have to admit, I was taken aback. It seemed obvious to me, based on his parents insisting he take other visits even though he himself wanted to go to SJU.Then when Zachs article came out, confirming my theory, I grew angry about it. Nobody is hoping, more than me, that we land him. I felt I should respond to these obnoxious posts. If Pete88 doesn't have the dignity to admit when he is wrong, and apologize for his ad hominum attacks on me, that's one thing. But given the fact that the point I initially raised is now the central sticking point of the Ponds recruitment, and this very thread, I resent your assymetric response to the situation. Read his post above. That's obnoxious. Especially in light of the fact that he was dead wrong. Yet I was the one that you told to cool it. I realize that he is not man enough to apologize, but I'm still a bit disillusioned with you. What's going on man?Dude, just stop. I looked through your post history and it was aggressive towards 3 different posters all in a row. Just chill and stay on topic. Non-issue moving on... Just one more thing and then I am done (unless the attacks continue) Please notice above that Pete88 initiated the obnoxious language, not me. I know he has been here a lot longer than me but that is irrelevant to the situation. Also, those "three posts in a row" that you mentioned, were in response to three separate JJ members, who first attacked me ad hominum, for my perfectly reasonable post that turned out to be correct. They were shooting the messenger, and I was a little shocked by that. Should I have not responded? Nobody will be more disappointed then me if Ponds doesn't commit here. And no, I am not seeking credit for being the first one to accurately call the situation, but a few of these guys were shooting the messenger in very disrespectful tones.P.S. If anyone feels the need to respond, I would hope that they respond to the actual text of the statements and not make some general criticism about the fact that I made one more post. For example don't say something like "Your still on this" or "get over it dude".Unbelievable....7 day BAN! I don't have time to deal with nonsense and have one person ruin everything for all. This thread is about Shamorie Ponds not you.
