Oh it was "actually a good point" was it? Now who's pompous? I copied my post over from the other thread as it touched on some of the same discussion points that are happening here.
I've been making the exact same point about our transfer policy and the exceptional circumstances the club finds itself in all summer.
Some people have chosen to express dismay at the club as it went along, only to find themselves at the end of it all pretty much aligned with everyone else's assessment of the window (7/10 ish).
That suggests to me that getting worked up about something before you have all the facts with which to reach an informed conclusion is a monumental waste of time. And deserves being called out when the reactionary pessimism drags all the rest of us down.
PS: in what world is the word "judgement" pejorative when used as a synonym for "conclusion"?
I genuinely thought it was a good point and stated so pretty plainly. Even in the tone-free world of internet forums I don't see how that is pompous, it's just your way of saying 'and so are you'.
Regarding judgement, it was you using it as a pejorative, in that it was the final conclusion...which the Eloi saved until now, and the Morlocks spewed out prematurely.
It's grossly misrepresentative. No one who questioned parts of the transfer window ever said that was their final judgement, it was only ever an assessment at that day and time. Without us all doing that, with whatever perspective, what is the bloody point in having a thread about the transfer window.
I wish some users would stop treating TWF like a political party and just acknowledge what it is. It's to talk about Wolves. None of us are right or wrong all the time, none of us have access to all the facts when following Wolves, sometimes we never know the true story, other times it's years later. Even with the window closed the final 'judgement' we're making now isn't really that.
One more thing, all these loaded phrases bandied about today like 'dismay' and 'worked up' and 'hysteria' often are used in reference to the 'moaners', and the implication is that those negative traits come out in their comments about the club, bad anti-Wolves fans that they are, but actually most of the disagreements, vitriol and arguments come in personal clashes with 'positive' posters on the board.
