    I’m guessing you don’t know the definition of irony. Not surprised though.

    You condemned the post/poster, as if to say one should not do such a thing, and then literally did same thing. I think irony works here. Often used to contrast the difference between expectations and reality, discrepancy or absurdity.
    Perhaps contradictory is your preference?

    It makes sense to me to get rid of Pickens because both are XWRs with the exact same limited route tree of cornet, post, fades, and slants. Unless you want to throw the ball deep 15+ times a game to keep both happy it just doesn't make sense to keep both from a game planning standpoint. The Steelers needed a ZWR even if they kept both on the roster.

    Yeah, not really. 'Literally' appears to be another word we're having trouble with.

    As in "actually" or "exactly". As in, he "actually" did the thing he condemned.
    Again, I'm comfortable with this.

    Yeah. I'm aware of what "literally" means.

    Not so sure you're grasping it yet.

    Yeah, I'm aware of what it means as well. Again, I feel comfortable with my use of it here.

    Alright. So show me where Glenn, on his own initiative, dug up a three-year old post and gave someone a hard time over what they said three years ago.

    He (Glenn)expressed distain to the individual responding in a certain manner, alluding to or suggesting it is poor form or at the very least invalid. In small part because the thread is so old. The individual, suggesting Glenn's take wasn't so good, on an old thread.
    Meanwhile, he (Glenn) is on the very same old thread responding to an individual in a certain manner, suggesting the individual's take isn't so good.
    These are not meant as verbatim to both parties responses to each other, but a general description of the circumstances of the responses.
    Satisfied?

    For the record, I never once said Glenn "dug" up this old thread.
    I said he was giving them a hard time for a take they had, while being on an old thread. Just like they were giving him a hard time for a take he had,while being on an old thread.

    Ask AI, that's what Blast Furnace does when he doesn't know things.
