Nah, I was just pointing out the irony of you getting annoyed at OS trying to have a sensible discussion with you after disagreeing with you because you didn't have anything to back up your point other than making point blank statements and then complaining that you can't have a sensible discussion around here. "Sensible discussion" does not mean "never having my opinion challenged." A sensible discussion is precisely what he was trying to have with you, but you found it "funny" that you had to actually elaborate on what you actually meant by your buzzword. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him digging into your comment and your inability to do anything other than restate it without elaboration and put on a D-list display of faux-outrage speaks volumes.

This post is not aesthetically pleasing.

I wasn't being sarcastic there, I didn't mean to offend anyone's knowledge on the matter or anything if that is how it came across. Honestly I wasn't expecting a backlash such as this on giving my opinion on something fairly subjective and which wasn't even the main point of discussion but clearly I did say something incredibly out of order. I personally don't intend to get seriously involved most of the time when posting so maybe I expected not such a heavy reaction. Whatever the case, apologies if I wasn't following the forum etiquette.

Haha. I remember how in a test in Australia post Eden, Australia were in a good position. Laxman, Dravid batting at the end of the day. SlowLove stated how he doesn't like the look of it and they went on to make tons of runs. That Laxman guy. What a player.

What Aldo probably means by 'aura' in a batsman is his consistency. Steve Waugh for example seemed to be so unflappable and so consistent in his run scoring that you generally believed he would rescue a situation no matter how dire.
Laxman for all his genius gave the impression of being inconsistent. Mecurial players are great to watch because their unpredictability makes them more exciting. But they hardly calm the nerves in a crisis.
Whether the preconceived perception is the same as reality is a different matter of course. It may be that Laxman is the most consistent batsman in the history of cricket. But I would like to first see the mathmatics (eg standard deviation) of his scores before deriving a proper conclusion.

Yeah, but we do it all the time in every facit of life for some reason.
"He's crap"
"She's hot"
"He's tough"
"She's a bitch"
What do they even mean?

In fact we could stop about 90% of arguments if both parties stopped to think what the other person means when they use a specific word or phrase. So often we apply our own meaning to a word or phrase assuming that the other person thinks exactly the same way as us.
It far more constructive to not assume anything but first work out what the person is really trying to say. But this involves slowing down the conversation and listening.
Words and language really are that nuanced.

Haha, yeah he had a mortgage on it and no-one else was allowed to have it.
As if Chanders didn't have that type of effect on teams. Was maybe punctured by the fact that you were a chance of rolling the rest of the team for 150, but Chanderpaul definitely had it over a very long period.
