i fail to see your point
one gains a 'stake' in a thread when that person:
1. raises a theory:
"Jordan is the greatest, no question there, but if you dont think lebron is fun to watch you are just a hater, simple as that."
2. poises a question:
"what if the heat win 6 in a row?"
3. is both detailed and well considered in their responses to others on the thread (i.e. that person actually cares)
"wade was injured for the last half of the year and the entire playoffs. he had his knee drained a few times through the playoffs. the fact that he still did what he did as impressive
but sure, blame him for being hurt and not playing like he was 22"
4. continues to present information to help prove his arguments:
"people are forgetting about the coaches. jordan easily had the better coach, and clevland....well he was no good clearly . spolstra remains to be seen, hes still really young with 2 rings"
5. again responds to a mindless observation by Vic, with actual considered information:
"the charlotte hornets had the number one attendance record from 1991 to 1997. what is your point? ir wasnt until 1998, jordans last year with the bulls, that chicago finally edged them out."
6. was also a major contributor to the previous Jordan thread, which essentially carried over to this newer Jordan thread.
so fordy, in this case it isn't a bad thing you have a stake in this thread. i'm just saying, you are a major presence on this thread, i am not. your points have been well considered and contain a lot of valid information. mine have not.
you actually care about the argument. there's nothing wrong with that man. but yes you do have a 'stake' in this thread, in that sense :)
