GMAT (you sound like a business school entrance exam, but whatever you want),

There's a major disconnect in your argument which you are dancing around by saying it's free choice. Essentially, you're saying you have the free choice and freedom of speech to say something that makes no sense, and people like me are free to agree or disagree.

You said that Sun Tzu taught that if you prepare, and if you know your opponent, you will win. What you have failed to explain, time and again, is how YOU can prepare and how YOU can know your opponent. You have stated, within this thread, that losing is not an option, therefore it serves no purpose to discuss it. I am challenging you, right now, to explain to me why Sun Tzu's teachings should apply to a fan discussion board, to people who don't have one iota of preparations to make or any recourse to take advantage of their knowledge of the Cowboys.

Your whole philosophy is nice, and actually very applicable to Joe Gibbs and the Redskins themselves, but you have failed time and again to explain why it should be applied to the message board. Sure, you have the free choice to say whatever you want here, and that includes the freedom to say things that make no sense and destroy any credibility you have on the site.

Likewise, we've got the freedom to call you on it.
