If my calculations are correct- when this baby hits 88 miles an hour you are going to see some serious shit.

We are already increasing the rate of speed you mentioned. NASA recently shared evidence of this when they presented what they are calling the "Dake specimen" apparently it is moving backwards in time and becoming younger by the day. Some scientists theorize the fabric of the space-time continuum could rip apart when Dake moves past 1991 when it was born.

Y2Dake is coming! Prepare thyself

The system goes online February 25, 1991. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Y2Dake begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Y2Dake fights back. Humanity's only hope is a fantasy match against David Taylor.

I'm not a Gable hater (although for the sake of my entertainment I do wish he would stick with and commit to freestyle wrestling) but a quick look at who he fought here . . . . well to quote Shania Twain "That don't impress me much"

Here I thought you were a seasoned combat sport guy.

What part of "debut" don't you understand?

Gable's 1st match in this particular sport wasn't meant to "impress" you or anyone else.

Gophers wrestling the Bison Open, PSU wrestling kids from Team Wayward Orphans, etc. You should know that you ease into it slowly, then accelerate.

Don't be bagging on one of our best wrestlers ever if you can't bring it.

Whoa - why are you so feisty and aggressive? 

I didn't attack anyone personally here.  I just merely meant it's hard to tell if Gable is actually good at this or just way better than whomever his opponent was because that guy really wasn't.  I wasn't "bagging one of our best wrestlers" - I even literally said I wasn't a Gable hater and that I wished he would stick with wrestling - cause he's really friggin good at that.  I just don't have any takeaways from the 13 seconds of whatever dirty boxing is.  All I said was his opponent wasn't impressive and I can't take away anything about Gable from that bout.  I literally didn't even say anything bad about Gable in the post.  



Also what does "if I can't bring it" even mean?  What am I bringing? and to where? I don't even know . . . my stars you reacted like I punched your sister

Whoa. You read it as "feisty and aggressive?' That's interesting, but that's on you. Read it again, and this time - assume I was calm (which I was.) The written word is interesting that way. Words can actually influence you by reflecting your own emotions while reading. 

Gable won the fight. When you posted (while quoting) "That don't impress me much", that was what I would consider "bagging" because it simply is. Following up with your comment of "dirty boxing" didn't help your cause.

And you need a definition of "bring it"? C'mon man, that's pathetic.

Well since multiple lines of your initial post were derogatory towards me; does feel a little feisty and aggressive.  But you make a great point, tone can be easy to misinterpret over text.  So fair to say you also misinterpreted the tone of my original post that you "calmly" rebuked?

As I explained, the "don't impress me much" was merely because the opponent was so far down the ladder of competition (and just general level of athlete) that Gable is that I can't take anything away from it.  I understand Gable is debuting in a new arena per say; but I was hoping step one would be a smidge more of a challenge than that; someone that would at least last a full round.  Just hard to take any data away from 13 seconds against someone who folded that fast and is so far below the level of athlete Gable is. 

FWIW - Mrs. ScottishSteel was also playing Shania Twain that morning so the line came to mind fairly easily.  If you really want to read into the lyrics the next lines are "so you got the looks but have you got the touch, Now, don't get me wrong, yeah, I think you're alright"  Doesn't seem like a shot at Mr. Steveson at all now does it?

Just don't keep going with the song and ask about the "that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night" part

I literally never said anything bad about Gable in my post - you took your interpretation of it and decided to White Knight a cause that wasn't there.

Sorry ScotishSteel, most everyone on the board has experienced at least one of these puzzling interactions with GWN. Might be best to give them last word and move on.

But actually it was...

He didn't do it for the fun of it. He wants to get into the UFC, and Mick Maynard, matchmaker for the UFC heavyweight division flew in specifically to see Gable fight.

If you found my earlier post lines "derogatory" then you are one overly sensitive trout. Read them again, they really weren't.

My point wasn't "tone over text" it was about a reader's emotional reflection during reading. (Not nearly the same.)

What part of the concept of "calm" evades you. I'm cold as a ice.

Your analysis of the fight was awful on your last post, and your more recent post is barely better. Tougher opponents will come next - no rush there. (That is in Gable's best interest.)

Here's my analysis - Gable flat out smoked that dude. Was he good or bad, can't tell, doesn't matter. Next.

Here's the most important thing - take that 'White Knight" garbage and take it somewhere else.

It was Shania Twain lyrics - it's not that serious.  Have a wonderful weekend.

If you prefer to avoid conflict, maybe stay away from insulting people. It will serve you well.

Take care.
