Okay... so just because I don't pick him to be on the podium or win in Sochi I'm suggesting he's "done"? Tell me what I've done to diminish his reputation.
As for detecting sarcasm, this is the internet -- you can't make something "sound" like sarcasm (unless you put a winky face emoticon or write *sarcasm* or something like that). It might sound okay in your head, but people don't always read your post in the same way you think your post.
And, as for another unsubstantiated assumption you have made about me, I have watched the Big Bang Theory and it's one of my favourite shows... Sheldon, as annoying as he might be, is also the smartest one who rationalises things based on detailed facts. So, um, thanks I guess.
I am perfectly fine with you assuming that he could not win Sochi. As a fan, I hope he would win, just as other skaters fans wish their favorite would win. That is not the part where people will deduce he is done. You are very smart, first to build up that Plushenko is great skater with consistent jumps, and then try to set up the image that Plushenko's wins over other skaters are purely because he is a great consistent jumper, because apparently his other abilities are just average, or even below average. Then you repeatedly "correct" people's assumption that Plushenko's bad performance on EC2013 is due to his injury, and insisting that the cause of Plushenko's fall is because the jumping ability of Plushenko is diminished. Since you insist that this diminishing ability has nothing to do with Plushenko's injury, it only means that you want people to believe that now Plushenko's only advantage (which was established by yourself) is now gone.
Yes, you never say he is done, but your posts are pretty much hinted that. And it is perfect fine for you to think "it is you who deduce my post like that", but do not expect people would assume you're being innocent on this topic.
I said "you have probably never watched...". So you proved me wrong. That is fine. And if you could only sense sarcasm via symbols, I have nothing else to say. Because apparently you cannot sense any sarcasm without the help of smileys.
And yes, Sheldon is the smartest one in the show, that is why I put (sorry Sheldon) in my post.
