And what part of stating an accomplishment is supposed to be offensive or illogical to anyone?

Arguably as random a post as you'll ever see.

Welcome diversion tbh.

Whilst I absolutely agree with the sentiment, I'd have to say that's mildly passive/aggressive as (IIRC) that's what Ben had said previously. You are effectively calling him a homophobic douche.

But, if the cap fits, etc...

You'll have to explain the 'getting pumped in a pub' bit though...have we moved from trying to prove how good we are on the cricket field to pub games? You win then, I'm not good at pub games.

Well, if he was talking about himself when feeling uncomfortable just because there happens to be a gay teammate, then I stand by that statement.

No argument, but it'd be disingenuous to say you weren't implying he was a homophobic douche.

And even though that's what I wasn't saying; that is what you thought I was saying at the time that you posted, which still stands as abuse.

The martyr thing isn't very becoming, and as a change of tactic it's pretty transparent. Coming from someone who's been in your position, you're better off conceding that you've acted like a brat, apologise and play nice from now on. Then everyone will forget and we can all move on.

Or you can keep pretending like your marginalisation on this forum is everyone else's fault but your own and see where that gets you.

Not the only time this has happened, tbh. Been going on long before that openly gay thread and it pretty much won't change if I let it slide. The same trolls seem to follow me whatever I go on this forum, no matter what thread; trying to stir things up.
