An exterminator believed cockroaches were thriving in Edmonton. He believed they'd hitched rides in products coming from warmer regions being shipped in as a result of city expansion. I find that interesting.

Apologies. I wasn't aware of your interest in cockroaches and I apologize if my assumption was off.

How could you not know with his obsession with Faith Goldy?

Its only diversity if the cockroaches are also diverse.

Well, if we're talking about obsessions and seeing as you claim to have me on ignore but I spend more time than I should need to dealing with you.

See, this is why you should have backed out of this topic. This is a different topic all together.

No, you puffed up blowhard. This is why you shouldn't have butted in here telling me you were the expert on what I thought, in effect calling me a liar by suggesting anything different.

I posted a thread here explaining clearly that an exterminator believed the roach population of Edmonton was increasing and he believed it was a result of products coming into the city from regionally diverse locations.

I posted it because it was interesting. You then insinuate, "No, I posted the story for some sort of nefarious purpose."

That was the suggestion you made and it was clear.

I therefore noticed how in the past you suggested a posted story was false because you hadn't received a personal notice of what it claimed.

I posted you multiple articles from mainstream sources (when you claimed I couldn't) and multiple relevant organizations (in fact here's another one: https://alliancehockey.com/Articles/381 ... Officials/) showing you how your suggestion based on claimed personal expertise was wrong and all you can do is try to nitpick your way out of it.

Get it?

We both did something similar. Made insinuations of personal disingenuity against the other only for the purposes of alleging a 'Gothcha.'

The only difference is I did it better and only to show you the folly of the practice.

I am an expert on this topic which makes me experienced and qualified to discuss this subject.

You're just pretending to know what's going on because you've read some articles.

You're calling me a liar by saying what I'm telling you is false.

Unless you're a coach yourself, you have no idea what you're talking about. Full stop.

We get it. Completely innocent post about your general interest in roaches.

Because it is false.

If this was indeed mandatory, every coach would have been issued a notice about it through the Hockey Canada portal that we're all registered with. If you had an ounce of experience with this, you'd know that.

Again, you're trying to discuss two different topics. The first being the suggestion that the OHF is mandating us to talk to our players about gender identity. They're not.

The second is a training module available for free and is optional for coaches to take online.

Two different topics, get it?

How about you login with your credentials and tell us what messages are there about your mandatory gender talk?

No.

I'm an expert on internet bloviating and as such am not going to bother reading the rest of your desperate attempt to talk around the mistake you made of hopping in here to puff yourself up and claim a mistaken gotcha.

That was dumb, Bud. You should stop doing stuff like that.

Nice dodge, Fiddle.

Come back to this topic when you have a clue. Until then, you're just another old man thinking he knows everything about the world because you read something on the internet.

I'm still here Coach.

Post something relevant and worth replying to for a change and you'll hear from me.

[llama66]

The forum seems angsty today. I feel everyone needs a hug.

Can you share with me the specific documentation that coaches have been provided with with respect to this 'talk' we're supposed to have?

Surely, the media has this and you can share with me.

See how you've lost here?

All you can do now is puff around like the little engine that thought he could (but couldn't )

You're just tilting at windmills of desperate diversion now (to mix a metaphor...cause it's fun and that's what this has become...about the fun. )

All I see you is dodging a question.

You've told me that I'm lying and that the OHF has contacted all the coaches and directed them to have this conversation with their players about gender identity.

Clearly, you know more than I do.

Provide me the documentation provided to the coaches so that I can be more informed.
