Anyone following these train of posts from when they started could make out the deep and delicious sarcasm in prfsr's posts, Hence the claim of humor.
You think so..
prfsr: please clarify ;D How come you got so serious on the post related to his playing cricket on the day his father died?

of course - check out the first time prfsr made the post and see if you dont recognize the deadpanned humor
Kban:I wish you show so much open armedness when things are posted about Ganguly. 


Rams,

Aernt the situations different here ?

In one case Player X (SG) is being criticized ?
In the second case, Player Y (VK) is being praised ?

I do write stuff refuting the criticism --very true. But I also try (at least nowadays) to bypass outrageous criticism meant to needle, although I may not always be successful at that.

Kban:It is all a matter of perspective.

I have seen Ganguly defended and praised to ridiculous proportions on this DG (not you persay) as much as he is criticised. 

VK as much as you see it as jest which I get it to a point as well but after a while makes you wonder.

I like CP, what can I say.  I have met him as you did and find him quite charming online or not.

But surely you see the difference between a tongue in cheek comments intended to poke fun at the wild craze for youngsters and the difference between tongue in cheek comments meant to denigrate a player ?
Again most of CP's fodder stems from the fact of reaction to his posts on this DG from my observation.  So what you see as denigrating may be true to an extent can also be seen as poking fun at others cost by some.

Thank you. Atleast someone understands :)

The funny thing is that this whole assasination of CP happens every month or so. Am glad there are still members like Ramji who stand up for what is right :)

Ofcourse it is.  How long have you been here on this DG????  Where were you during all that Kban's WWF scripted thread.  That is as good as it gets.  I know as long as SG's name or fans are not dragged you are fine. :)

glad to agree with me finally! that's all i was saying and do not waste your breath on poor lil diamond-studded kohli.

....and to quote some one, "your rants againt SG-fans are getting tiring and frankly, quite silly".  ;D
Anytime.   Glad to pay back the SG-fans in kind and give them a taste of their own medicine, Kohli, VVS or otherwise. :)

 ;D  ;D  ;D

btw, why do you "hate" SG-fans so much? why are you "driven by hate"?  ::)
As the saying goes for a jaundiced the whole world is jaundiced.

corollary : To the humourless the whole world is humourless  ;D
That is quite true too though irrelevent to this discussion. :)

Agree.

Please read prfsr's explanation above sir.

also, please read prfsr's viewpoint about Badri - you will see that your assumption that Badri's been given the shaft by cricket fans is not accurate

I like the real person who uses the online handle of CP. I have met him too and find him to be charming, hospitable and fun.

I wish I could say the same thing about "CP" -- I CAN'T. And while interacting on this DG, I have to treat him based on his online persona, which isnt nice to put it mildly. 

I believe thats the difference in approach between you and me

Firstly -- i did not intend my comment to refer only for CP's antics.

But coming to CP per se -- There is a lot of truth in what you say

but ...

a) when denigration descends below the acceptable boundaries and propriety of decency, its difficult to accept such posts, no matter what the origin of such posts are.

b) Its this whole concept of getting ones own back against other DGians over issues that are long dead (GC is no longer coach, SG was out and is now back) that are a detriment to the growth of this site, an impediment to good cricketing discussion, and above all fodder for ongoing fights and lasting enmity. A person who fails to see this after repeated explanations and requests cannot have the good of this forum in mind and is therefore detrimental in more than one way.

Think about it with a calm mind -- how does this one group against the other mentality help ?
