People throw around the word "disrespect" way too much to the point it's lost it's meaning. If you want to go the route you did. I feel disrespected by you accusing me of being disrespectful when that wasn't my intent what so ever.

If you look up the definition of the word, its says "treat someone in a rude, insulting or offensive way". I didn't call him a name or say anything offensive. I wasn't being rude. Being rude would be saying I think his opinion is dumb. I didn't say that what so ever. When I said "Wow" that is a word someone would say when they are surprised which I am. The definition of the word Wow is "a common expression used to show strong feelings of surprise"

Taylor got himself kicked out of a game which means he wasn't available to play, it also impacts the Dline rotation making it so there is less available players to keep guys fresher. He also cost his team yardage. It wasn't a play where he was trying to make a tackle and got overly aggressive, he didn't miss time a hit, he didn't take a penalty to stop a score. It was on a point after, a borderline nothing play. What was he trying to accomplish by trying to draw a call on a PAT? How is that helping his team? It was a stupid, pointless decision on Taylors part so I was genuinely surprised someone would come here and try to justify the action. When you justify a play, that means you either think it was a good idea or it's totally OK to do. It's not. He even brought up an example where Collaros who has a big time history of concussions and I hope for his sake, it doesn't impact him when he's done the game, went down because one of the dirtier players that's been in the CFL in a while, gave him a shot after he threw the ball. What does it matter how hard a hit was in someone's opinion if it's made when he's not supposed too? When the ball is thrown, you don't touch the QB. That's it, end of story. Might as well just say "well if he had concussed Colaros, it's bad but he didn't so it's OK."

I am shocked I am having to defend myself because I expressed surprise that someone would debate with me how bad behavior is not OK. What is going on here?

This is the first time I have responded directly to one of your posts in a number of years now. The reason I stopped doing so was because you criticized me for my grammar in a post I made once which I saw no reason for doing so except for the purpose of belittling me. Wish I would have saved your response so that others could give their feedback now. IIRC Ben the eskimo came to my defense but I chose not to respond and will now go back to not directly responding to any of your posts. I don't mind healthy debate and you do sometimes generate interesting discussions but I do mind disrespect and in that instance along with a number of others I have found you to be disrespectful.
