Almost as though the thread has prompted a diverse range of opinions, right? Which kind of scuppers your conformist insult.It's incredible how most people disagreeing with the op don't even have complementary arguments. It ranges from - "Yes Jose has this preference but I think it's a good thing" to "Jose has no such preference whatsoever, it's all a coincidence."
You'd think some of these brave conformists (full of awareness) would figure out that their arguments are at complete odds, and perhaps confront each other about it, but I can see how that's not as appealing as forming a clique based on very little intellectual overlap, other than (against the op, and 'in the majority').
This is some of the stuff people thought was a smart contribution:
"The tall players are not just bringing height and nothing else" - isn't what was argued.
"Clearly they are not just tall players" - he didn't claim otherwise.
"So we should buy short players because they are short now?" -not what he said.
"I think our tall players have a lot more going for them than just their height" - didn't disagree with that.
And then a long list of arguments refuting an absolute claim, when none was uttered. That's poor form, even for this place.
If people disagree with the OP for different (or even opposing) reasons that's fine. The OP will always be the basis for most opinions and nobody has any obligation to seek out other opinions to disagree with. That's the way threads usually work.
