You seem to have some personal problem with me...
No. Who said it was a fact?
And Hanyu doesn't get "benefits of the doubt." He fights for every point he gets (not that he ever really under-rotates to begin with...and you're trying to compare to Jason Brown? Don't do it, alright, it would be a bad move...). He is not even here so why are you mentioning him or anyone else? It doesn't matter; what matters is correct judging.
I don't have a personal problem with you because I don't know you. I do have a problem with your posting style because IMO, you frequently post negative statements about skaters other than your favorites and present them as fact. Let's take this statement you recently made in the "New Short a Release for Duhamel" thread:

Isn't she tired? Really, judges and Duhamel are responsible for destroying the pairs discipline. Any injuries that come to them or other pairs is on they and the judges' heads.
Here you express two highly negative, even inflammatory, opinions about the judges and a skater you apparently don't like very much: that they are (1) responsible for destroying the pairs discipline; and (2) that they will be responsible for any injuries that occur in the pairs discipline.
These are your opinions, not facts. You have presented no evidence showing that (1) the pairs discipline is being destroyed; and (2) Duhamel and the judges are responsible; nor have you cited any evidence in support of your conclusion that they will be responsible for all future injuries. Yet you present them as absolute statements, without any of the customary qualifiers such as "I think," "IMO," etc.
It's a similar thing here regarding the call on Jason's quad: you simply state as fact that the call was wrong. You have no evidence, it's just your opinion. And, may I add, you're certainly entitled to that opinion. But other people are entitled to disagree, and IMO when you state something like that as a fact it comes off as bullying and know it all.
As to your statements about the call on Jason's quad: you seem to equate "correct judging" with "judging MaxSwagg thinks is correct." But they're not the same thing. Again, where is your evidence that the < you saw was beyond the acceptable range?
One final thing. You state that I shouldn't compare Jason to Hanyu because Hanyu (1) never really < his jumps; and (2) he fights for every point he gets. Your first point is factually incorrect. All you have to is go back and look at his FS protocols from 2012 - 2016 and you will see that he does, in fact < jumps from time to time. As to your second point: do you think Hanyu is the only skater who "fights for every point he gets"? Because I'm pretty sure all skaters fight for every point they get, and to imply otherwise is insulting. But you really missed my point. Much as I admire Hanyu, he has IMO benefitted from generous calling when he didn't deserve it: see, eg, his silver medal at COC. IMO, as much grit as he showed, he didn't deserve PCS scores between 8-9 for performance, execution, and choreography. But you know what? He got them. And that's that.
