The Greatness of Joe Frazier and an example of when the lineal was needed and came to the rescue of boxing

Know what you guys remind me of?

A little clique of obsessive trainspotters who have deluded themselves into believing that the real purpose of the rail network is not to carry passengers around the country, but to give guys like them a fascinating hobby to pursue.

Hell, what's the point of traveling around inside trains anyway? You can't see the engine when you're sitting inside a carriage. And you can't film it thundering down the track at 90mph, or sweeping majestically into a station with that big whistle blowing!

Shit .. you can't even see the ID number on the engine from inside a carriage. So how are supposed to log it, photograph it, and post it online to prove that you've even seen it?

And you remind me of someone OBSESSED with trying to prove yourself right. Is there anything else you talk about on this forum? Not from the looks of it.

Yeah, well . . . who knows more about trains, the pedestrian being told what is what by the sanctioning body conductor, or the train spotter who can tell a freight hauler from a high speeder a good half-mile out?

WTF?

I'm only commenting on this bull**** because you and your chums keep quoting and mentioning me, asking me what do I make of this, what do I think of that. It's like you are obsessed with getting me to agree with your nonsense.

I'm actually quite flattered that you think my opinion matters, but don't twist things round and try to pretend it's me who is obsessed with this ****, not you guys. If you don't want me to talk about this, stop fucking quoting me!

When you cheerlead the corrupt ABC orgs and are blind to common sense you open yourself up to ridicule and questioning. If you don't like that than don't read my posts. But if I see something I don't agree with (and obviously plenty of others don't either) I will quote it. You can respond, I have no problem with that. But I'm going to keep telling truth and facts while you keep making baseless claims.

Sure. Him, Wisp, Pep, Bronson, Billedriver. Plenty of others. There's probably more i missed. Than there is history itself.

Duh ... isn't that what usually happens when you have the same points being made by 2 different people?

He is also making different points as well, stop making me point out the obvious please... You sound b u t hurt, if so, no need to respond.

. You respond... The you get b u t h u rt when people refuse to let your ignorance fly... The lineal is not a made up institution. And even marg who does not value the Lineal iunderstands that. You don't, stop crying.

I am wondering what his actual argument is... He just keeps parroting "The lineal is not real." People keep providing evidence for it... and he goes back into parrot mode. Which apparently makes people cliquish...

Delusional now?. You have Queenie, and who knows what his logic is... You think you have Marge who has a much more nuanced understanding of the lineal in his critique of the title... Hint, he does not claim it does not exist, he questions the value of a historical peerspective regarding the title... He may feel like the plagorized view of the title from Ring created a fictional title, but he also looked at that last point with more thought in subsequent posts....

I left you at least a few spelling errors!

Let me amend this post as follows: Nobody is trying to browbeat anyone into believing in the power of the lineal traditions. But if you argue something expect to be called out. Some posters here have made it clear they do not think much of the lineal, and that is fine. You are trying to assert that the lineal is a fiction because it is different than the alphabet belts... that just happens to be a very poor argument.
