I've been expecting Jannsen to take 157 for awhile now.

I imagine that cut for Kerr has to be brutal

why would I feel contrained by the same social conventions on the internet that I would if I was two feet away from someone?

Thats like saying "I never criticize any NBA/Football/XXX sport players"

Or "I never say anything about people I know that I wouldnt say directly to them"

Bs. I think the only difference between me and lot of people is that I dont feel a need to lie or sugarcoat things when I'm on a forum.


If all I'm going to say is happy sunshine and rainbows then what is the point of discussion?

157: Derek St. John DEC Matt Ballweg 7-4

This is the point. It's easy to talk so negatively from behind a computer screen. You can be critical of someone's performance without being a dickhead.

I am sorry that I said mean things about Matt Balleweg, like sarcastically implying that he was not the best 157 pounder ever as part of a joke. That was completely unwarranted.

I take full responsibility for his loss to St. John. Clearly reading my negative posts harmed him emotionally and he was not able to properly prepare for todays match.

Sometimes I enjoy being a dickhead.

Which is all well and good, but it's a cowards way out to be a dickhead behind a computer screen if you wouldn't be one in person.
