[quote name=\'CaseyAbell\' date=\'Jan 16 2005, 11:20 AM\']See scchuffield70's comment above. He first brought up the Prof in this thread (which is okay with me) and I responded. I definitely did not bring up the Prof out of nowhere.

I quote, in its entirety, sshuffield70's post:
[quote name=\'sshuffield70\' date=\'Jan 15 2005, 12:47 AM\']Trust me, they found a signature show.......but the idiots cancelled it for a "Poker Royale" tournament......stupid bastards.........

Please show us where sshuffield70 mentioned the Prof's name. He did not. In fact, by
your own admission, he did not.
[quote name=\'CaseyAbell\' date=\'Jan 15 2005, 12:07 PM\']I assume the reference to Lingo is an echo of the Prof's asinine argument that the $4.95 GSN spent on Poker Royale made a fourth season of the word game impossible.

There you go --
you assumed he was referring to the Prof. The comment was based on something Steve had said, but so what if he happens to take a similar tack? You're the one who brought the Prof's name up, and that, specifically, is what you were called on. But of course, as you've said to others...

Now, about this little tidbit...
[quote name=\'CaseyAbell\' date=\'Jan 16 2005, 11:20 AM\']What I don't do is automatically defend or automatically dump on everything GSN does.

No, what you do is to argue just to argue. You've done it with me, you've done it with Mr. Lemon, you've done it with Mr. Ottinger, you've done it with Mr. Odor, you've done it with melman1, you've done it with SplitSecond, and now you're doing it with the various participants in this thread. Moreover, you'll deliberately distort arguments made by others if you consider it necessary to continue the argument; I've called you on it several times (and would be happy to provide a list by email if you try to claim otherwise), yet it seems that you haven't learned a thing.
Yes, we often argue on this board -- about which era of Tic Tac Dough was the worst (Caldwell's or Wayne's?), about which was Bill Cullen's best game show, about what GSN should put on B&W Overnight, and about any number of other matters. But when you argue just to argue -- and it is a
demonstrable fact that you do exactly that -- you look utterly ridiculous when you refuse to admit it after being called on it. I said it before and I'll say it again: all it does is destroy your credibility, and if you don't have a problem with that, I don't either.
Now, to melman1 and Mr. Odor: I would strongly suggest that you place Mr. Abell in your killfile to avoid being annoyed. As we have said about Mr. Horan, irismason42 and others, Casey's not going to change, but you can change whether or not you see his posts.
