"Now, some of you have been the way you are since your brain started recording your environment since ages 2 through about 12, so I don’t hold your inability to stop the addiction to certain judgmental behaviors — which are all really just hormones of survival in an ever-increasing dog-eat-dog society — against you, but I will exit the room or block out as necessary any overly Sith Lord-like negativity.

Sure you have your view of the team with access to games, practices, press conferences, etc. that many (most) of us don't have. But to make this kind of statement seems way out of line.
Some fans have their own observations and while you may disagree, or feel they are overly critical why do you to have to attack their brain, hormones etc.?
With all of your "knowledge and understanding" of the team you should be able to use this platform to counter any points of view that are not worthy with reasoned and exampled arguments..
To attack sports fans commentary in this "superior (holier?) than thou" way loses all credibility you may have for your maybe insider perspective and knowledge.
I probably agree with most of what you have been writing about the Ws this season. But this attitude that you address any non-agreement you perceive is unwarranted in my opinion.
If you want people to see your perspective, and give credence to your points about this season with respect, shouldn't you allow those who might read what you offer the same... or even more respect?
Reading this kind of diatribe makes it hard for me to want to continue paying for your insights, even though at the start of this season I thought I could contribute. You write you're not in it for the money, so maybe you don't care... but as a Warriors fan I feel you should give other fans the benefit of what they may feel without needing to hold over them how much you are privileged with your position.
I mean, do I really care? Lol. You’re reinforcing the notion that you live life in anger and want to spread your negative energy by typing in paragraphs of outrage. 🤷🏻♂️ My work is not for people like you. Like I said, I don’t do this for the money. I do this for the positive energy. And you do not have it. Peace ✌️
And I do appreciate your replying and being willing to engage those of us who do read and are willing to put our views out there for you to comment on.
Tbh I haven’t read past your first sentence of your first post. Probably won’t ever read it. Don’t take offense. If I sense that a commenter has sent me sentences and sentences of negative energy, then I’m out the door. I’m choosing where to spend my valuable time. But I did read your last comment and it seemed like positive energy (oddly, but I don’t really have the time to investigate how you went from A to B).

I would recommend taking the time to investigate (or at least read) since you were so quick to make a judgement about my "anger" and "negative energy".
I make quick judgments whenever I like, it is a defense mechanism at zero risk of gaining or losing information. As such I do not have time to give attention to your wordy “I took offense” thing. Start by saying some nice words next time. That is your lesson for today. I’m good as is. Don’t care for this thread, don’t really care to have one iota of debate, your reputation as a commenter for me leans towards negative. So, to change that, start your sentences with kinder words. It’s really that simple.
Sorry, but this is very insulting to me:

Shame on you!

Do you really think the part I quoted from your piece was "positive energy" ?
I did not, and that was what I was reacting to.
Your work about the Warriors team is what I read it for, not your commentary about those of us who may read or subscribe.
Sorry if you don't really care about your readers.... maybe that explains a lot.
Keep replying and show the world how mad you are lol
Not mad at all ... just addressing your comments as I understand them. I'll let the world read and judge for them selves.

Thanks for being honest.

No offense is taken.
