jettasian, I think it's too draining to proactively react to negativity before it happens. Predicting and anticipating disagreeable scenarios often manifest them.
Negative maybe. But I'm sure I was right about what I said.

Thanks for that thread, but I have no interest to know what they do or don't do outside of skating. I'm here to watch them skate, not doing charitable work.Would you like to visit the "Skaters and Good Deeds" thread, where there is no whine or mourn but only positivity and praise?
Yes, it might happen, but I would not hold a preconceived judgment and qualify it as "negativity". What constitutes "whine and mourn" in your mind may be deemed a healthy debate by others. Let's keep an open heart without preconceived "negativity" before it happens.
Ha, another premature complaint of an imaginary event, just like what jettasian was preemptively complaining about.
What did I tell you about manifestation, jett?
Well, I was just not aware that the predictions include fans' behaviour.
People can predict and I can observe. I like obverving people's behaviour.
I remember you. You're the poster who went on endlessly about how people were mean to Patrick Chan around the time of 2009 Worlds and how he was being wuzrobbed. I believe I remarked about it at the time, and wondered if you had any other interests when it came to skating. Apparently you do not, since I see you're still obsessed with the topic and ever-ready to insult skating fans whose views of Chan and his scoring differ from yours. You do realize that this is a general skating discussion board, right? One in which people have different opinions about various skaters and like to express those opinions - before and after events? If you don't enjoy it, you can just use the ignore function for anyone you disagree with. Happy reading!I predict Chan will win and many will whine and mourn about how unfair, inflated for home ice blah blah blah and the other guy should have won blah blah blah... It has become a tradition for every Chan win.
It is a prediction thread, so we probably should tolerate people bringing up an imaginary event. However, it is the preconceived judgment or negativity assigned to opponents or disagreers that makes me uneasy.
Indeed. :thumbsup:There was no reference to fans' behavior in icellist's prediction, which concerned only the competition outcome and was therefore appropriate in my opinion. It is a prediction thread, and one should be allowed to predict the outcome, including overscoring, falls, and so on.
But I'd like to see Kevin win one before he retires, and this is his last chance!
I didn't say how it will happen, just that it will! I leave the specifics to the skating gods.I think Chan's a lock, unless he withdraws or is injured
The only one close from this list is Takahashi, and he hasn't been healthy.
But I'd like to see Kevin win one before he retires, and this is his last chance! He deserved the win at Skate America, IMO.
Kevin will never retire. 20+ years from now he and his kids will be competing at the same events. How's that for a prediction? (after all, the thread title does not include the year!)WHEN does KVDP retire?
It will be the end of an era.:scowl:
