Regardless, I guess it's time for my participation in this discussion to brought to an end.

There are different rankings with significant differences, but for the purpose of cross-referencing Chicago, Toronto and Phoenix, the ranking should be more or less similar.

Your guess is wrong. We should keep discussing anything that we feel strongly about...

I may not agree with him all the time, but I admire his vigilance in pursuit of a substantial answer.

Huh? Toronto is actually a larger market than Chicago in terms of population.

Come on. It's not merely a matter of population size.

So what point were you trying to make? It has every bit of culture that Chicago has, more diversity and roughly the same population. Maybe you meant to say it's not a "glamour" market?

I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't agree (oops, I guess that proves your point) and I think you are making an inaccurate, sweeping assertion. I would hope I could change your mind, but I am also not inclined to waste time in what is probably a pointless endeavor. You have gone out of your way to remind the board that you don't approve of my "style" on a number of occasions, so I would think enough is enough.

carey wrote:You dig in on a point that is largely inconsequential

And yet it is consequential enough for you to get antagonistic.

carey wrote:You like to argue and I guarantee you don't even care about this particular issue

I'm really perplexed why you feel the need to figure me out and be a constant critic of my posts. And that you so definitively claim to know what I'm thinking and what my motives are is just weird.

I'm honestly not complex. What you see is what you get. I'm not going to talk about something I don't care about or don't have an interest in. And when I state an opinion, 99.9% of the time, it's what I believe.

In this case, I don't feel it's a certainty that the Suns couldn't have signed Gasol. I'm sorry that offends you so much, but I promise you it's what I believe.

I have no problem with JCSunsfan, or 'bazz, or anyone disagreeing with me, and I thought this discussion/debate (or argument, as you say) was, devoid of any animus until you decided to deliver your needless barbs.

Regardless, I guess it's time for my participation in this discussion to brought to an end.

Then we disagree with what antagonism is. Have I called you names? Have I threatened in any way? Am I even baiting you into anything? Trolling you in anyway? I'm merely saying you do this a lot. Just like I always complain about people posting stuff I've already posted constantly (because it happens all the time.) I could care less about the Suns signing Gasol, if the could have, would have, whatever. My main point was that it was widely known about Gasol's outside of basketball interests and saying Phoenix is remotely on the same scale culturally as an international city like Toronto is really, really off base. And that you would use a touring production like Cirque du Soleil to further your point? It just seemed like you were digging in to dig in. Not like you had a particular dog in the fight.
