These are made ever worse when one is stuck in an incorrect way of thinking (mass generalizations that don't reflect reality), but who still insists on forming opinions based on several incorrect conclusions.

Actual quote verses the one you're claiming was made. That would be spinning my statement into a lie so you can steer the thoughts and conversation to your liking. I see why you and Boar bumped heads, he's not a fan of people who intentionally misconstrue words to create wiggle room either. No where did I say ALL MMA people do anything, but you changed the statement to a false generalization that implies things I never said or intended. Somehow I suspect it's the wordplay games like this that caused Boar to point out you skewing conversations with an agenda, there was no reason for you to attribute that to me except to belittle me and show how wrong I was and yet I never said it. When the discussion doesn't suit you, making up things to weaken the other persons position only shows your position needed support you were unable to provide so you attribute false statements to the other side and attack the false statements, Boar isn't the only one who will tire of that BS rather quickly.
Ed Parker said it best, "try to lengthen your own line, don't try shortening everyone else's." That looks like a lesson many here could learn from.
