@GoshisDead,
You'll live to regret that, Bubba. I'm a gonna copy this post, and throw it up in your face when appropriate, in the future.
It was ill-bred and ill-mannered of me to have mentioned Mark Noble. However, one sentence of yours:
It ends with the expression of the mystery opinion coupled with derision for the people who didn't get and/or agree the previously unmentioned opinion.--reminded me so much of him. But you're right, there are so many members who use such "techniques." What makes such threads truly offensive is the smugness with which the author reveals his or her superior, alleged knowledge.
Something about how much people who think they know it all annoy those of us who do.
