Where I am from, we don't back down from arguments, not even really bad ones.

venice had always said this, once regs get to know you, expect WR to drop.
Was a pretty general comment, and even the targeted person agreed.
As pointed out, general comments are not always most accurate when we get to the specifics:

And I agree P4MS going deeper on my general comment, and apparently Mr. Haterade drinker did, too:

+1.
But then somehow...this came up out of nowhere:

So apparently my general statement was way off because happy guy says his experience is the opposite.
Then apparently it was all my fault even though I paraphrased venice (sorry to drag you into this):

The above statement is complete trash and opposite of the truth as a response to the winning LLSNL posters who were discussing their short-term win-rate results and wondering about their future results at a new stake (1/2 player who recently moved up to 2/5, for example)
Enough said.
Funniest thing is, Mr. Haterade/happy guy, conveniently ignored the part that I said that venice said...
Then of course, now opinions are also right or wrong:
