Well, still waiting for rexhamer...Let's see what he had to see at the other site. My last article was posted on April 23rd, here is what he said on May 2, inresponse to me saying the old arguments (17-3, 9-2, 14-15) have been laid to rest for good:

You need to go back and re-read my blog. All your points were addressed and refuted.
I win Internet arguments becuase I do extensive research, post stats to support my case, and publish lengthy articles. You have fallen into the trap of many Lakers fans - you did not read the entire blog. You cannot "cherry pick" the parts of the blog that you want to address.
Go back and read the entire blog. |
This is a point where he was mimicking me. As to the highlighted part, I went through it word by word and refuted everything.

Just because you say you refuted something doesn't mean it is refuted. My argument is a serious blow to Lakers fans who thought the old arguments didn't hold up anymore. I have proven they still do.
Go back and re-read my blog, only you should read it thoroughly, don't just skim it. All you points are refuted. Your latest blog changes nothing. |
We are still waiting for him to "prove" what's in bold. Guess what, he can't! If he tries, I will refute that a well, besides, there is nothing in his blog to back up his claim!
Then there is this gem from this thread:

First, his second article ignored a lot of new evidence! I had to repeat it! Again, flawed logic on his part, he refutes things without even addressing them! If it was so easy, why didn't he do it? He can't and he knows it. Instead, he crafted this thread, chalk full of nothing but flawed logic and an avoidance of the issues at hand. He even shows his own hypocrisy at several points in thread:

Hypocrisy in bold. this has been refuted, he has never challenged it and it is his opinion. An
opinion is not a refutation.

That’s 5 out of 6, that’s 83% in favor of the Celtics after reviewing and evaluating Blog 5(MJ). MJ has repeatedly whined that I haven’t refuted his blog. |
I already proved your tallies mean nothing. Since you can't refute my blog, you tried changing the subject and shot yourself in the foot! Address my blog, quit ducking me!
Oh, and one last comment in my last blog. This cued me in he was going to try to use the replies to the blogs to claim victory. More flawed logic, ending the game in the first quarter! Oh, I said that already!:

You can concede any time. There is no shame in being No. 2! |
Apparently you don't have a clue how to do statistical research, you got owned on that! your proof:
I could say a lot more here, but let's examine the whole story....
If my points for Lakers supremacy are incorrect, and the overstatements by rexhamer on Celtics success are actually true, why hasn't he, or any other Celtics fan stepped forward to prove this? I asked him this earlier, and he said maybe they don't want to take the time! Crap, something as important as finding out the Celtics are now number two to the Lakers is extremely important to Boston fans.
Thousands of Celtics fans have seen the war. No one has refuted me. rexhamer can't win this fight, he has proven that. I need to find a better debating partner. Who's up to the task?
Give it up rexhamer, you are beaten. You can still believe the Celtics are number on even though they aren't.
