...is when anyone makes a matter of fact statement.
I've done it myself before and when I look back on some of my posts I'm embarrassed by my arrogance and audacity. A lot of it is just the negative attitude people bring with them to internet forums. It gets you fired up, puts you in a mood to piss the "haters" off, but then one day you look in the e-mirror and realize you've become one yourself.
You can make any kind of prediction, boast, etc but put some care into the way you word it. Phrases like "period", "end of discussion", "end of story" and all other statements that give you the appearance of a self absorbed asshat are a surefire shortcut for getting under people's skin, and sometimes it's really tempting to use 'em when you read some of the outrageous and blasphemous remarks posted here, but try keep your cool.
Remember, it's boxing. No one can predict what would happen if two great fighters from different eras met up, or even how a fight between two contemporary fighters would look. We're all just making educated guesses.
For now on, I'm gonna do my best to watch what I say and how I say it.
