Wags is listed as 6'0" on a site I found. Safe to say it is probably generous.
I take some solace in the fact that I'm as tall as Malcolm Marshall, although that's all we have in common besides a crappy (pun intended) digestive system.

It's interesting how TJB was previously not well liked on the forum but ever since Miyagi happened he's the voice of reason.
TJB got well liked once we all learnt that he thought his own posts were **** too. Happened a while before Miyagi.

I think the moment when someone is able to poke fun at themselves for all the flaws that are apparent to everyone else is the point when the forum starts to accept them.
tbf I've reeled back the ****iness levels of my posting significantly. I was definitely worse back when I first joined, not Miyagi level, but still not great.

Also didn't help that most of the forum took my **** posting seriously. One guy thought I seriously went a bought a protractor and held it up to the tv screen while watching Murali bowl to see if he was chucking or not

What are you trying to do with this post TJB?

I mean really. Are you trying to bait me into an ad hominem argument with you?

Make yourself feel superior to me (albeit through the eyes of the wider readers as well perhaps)?

Try and gain "virtual" friendship status with the people who take an issue to me in an online forum Sun Tzu "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of way?

TJB, I'm glad that you think that you have reeled back the "****iness" of your posts. Are you going to reel it back further? Or is this top quality posting with no "****tiness" in your opinion?

Jeez dial it back it's on online cricket forum not some hunger games ****. This weird attitude you've got with being right, and groups and infractions as if it's some kind of game is disturbing frankly.

Chill man

Something about me really rubs Miyagi the wrong way. I think it must be the first impression (though I can't remember what that was), because I'm actually one of the few people on here who treats him with any sort of respect and responds to him relatively seriously, rather than just **** talk him constantly.

So instead of answering my simple question, you continue to discuss me?

TJB, where are you going with this?
I can answer the question if you want, it was just referring to the general gist of the conversation, which was (through no action of my own) about your posting. I wasn't starting anything.

Simple question?

You just bombarded him with 5 questions at once. The question is where are you going with all of this?
There was only one primary question, that is, what he was trying to do with his post referencing me.

The remainder were only leading questions making inquiries that possibly explain his post.

Oh the ol' Sun Tsu enemy of my enemy, gotcha, you want to make "virtual" friends with ***** et al.

But do you really believe that referencing me wasn't going to start something nor no action of your own?

I mean, we reference each other all the time and no one seems to get upset about it, so I think it's safe to say that yes, yes TJB did genuinely think this.

Well it is far more insulting to be called dishonest than merely socially unaware I guess. But let him answer for himself please.

Then a good start would be perhaps not to reference me nor talk about me then, don't-cha-think M8?
You reference me in 1/3rd of your posts - I take this as an admission that you're constantly trying to bait me into an "ad hominem argument with you".

And as far as I understand - baiting other members is an infractable offence.

Mods?

Bruh if they actually infracted people for baiting you'd be long gone
