As for what you've said in response to his last sentence ("And i would suggest he learned plenty, failure always teaches more than success.....") how do you come to the conclusion that it's "gospel since you've obviously spoken with him about it", when he clearly said "i would suggest he learned plenty"? Surely if he had spoken to him about it, as you say he "obviously" has done, he wouldn't have said "I would suggest", would he? He would have just said "he did learn from it" or something along those lines, wouldn't he?
He obviously believes "failure always teaches more than success", as a general "rule", so he wouldn't believe that he needs to talk to him about it, to know that he would have learned from it.
And it's so nice of you to jump into the defense of Mart as he sorely needs someone other than himself to do it.
Quite clearly I'm of the opinion that Mart thinks very highly of his own opinion.
I believe too highly,
but then again that is only my opinion.
You clearly also think highly of his opinion.
As to my points about his over-inflated opinion about most things AFL (my opinion only),
surely it is only fair and reasonable that if I've suggested Tom Lynch may have disagreed with Perfectionist's point about 'learning whilst sitting on the pine' and 'expert Mart' chooses to disagree with that question of mine, I might take the view that he 'feels' that the point I was raising was not valid?
Given his self-proclaimed expertise in so many areas, I'm surely allowed to sarcastically ask whether he's making it all up or has actually asked the person who he claims (based on his expertise) 'learned plenty' from the experience.
Or is it now taboo amongst the 'folowers of Mart' to even question the great man?
Do I take it that you had no objection to my other points because you haven't bothered to 'defend' Mart over them?
