Anthony Jackson2 said:Calling it acrobatics is just saying Ibrahimović is the prototype for the players who will dominate the sport later on, even if you don't really have any proof for it,

Global average height: 5'6''
Median calculated from this source

We all know most elite players today are taller than that 5'6'' average, whether we're talking about Ibrahimović at 6'5'', or looking at the typical rosters for Real Madrid, Man Utd, Liverpool FC, Bayern Munich, and the top 20 national teams. Unlike 30 years ago when everyone was closer to Lionel Messi's height of around 5'6", most top-tier players now are much taller. To me, that's enough reason to think bigger players represent the future. I wouldn't call it "acrobatics"—it's just the most logical conclusion once you compare today's stars to the global average and look back at how players used to be.

It isn't "another bit of acrobatics from crimsonscout19," it's just his opinion based on logic during a discussion on the right thread!

I'm definitely not looking for special treatment, I just wish you'd stop assuming everything I write is some kind of exaggeration or provocation.

Anthony Jackson2 said:Honestly, regarding your post, the real acrobatics here is you jumping back into those "expert" theories, even though it’s pretty obvious you aren't an expert at all, I guess!

What exactly do you mean by "acrobatics" in my post? Maybe just grab someone up there and tell me how it's off-topic?

What's this supposed "expert theory" where he calls my take "acrobatics"? It’s just my personal opinion within the discussion—calling it some kind of formal thesis is honestly such a reach!

Anthony Jackson2 said:You basically stormed into this football thread acting like some kind of expert (CUT), and honestly, everything that's happened since then on my end is just a result of you being so cocky.
Anyway, back to the topic of Luka Modrić!

How long are you gonna keep bringing this up? It’s over, man—done and dusted. I already took my lumps! I got hit with a red card, 250 violations that won't expire until next year, plus a three-day ban. What else do you want from me? You really gonna keep rubbing 2006 in my face??

Look, I’m not interested in digging up the past or making the same mistakes twice, so I guess if you're acting as both a member and a mod, maybe just stop bringing up the stuff that got me banned in the first place!

Anthony Jackson2 said:Look, I didn't even try to warn you in that post—not like I was shouting it in red letters or anything! And I definitely wasn't trying to drag you into anything. I was just sharing my take, you know? Just throwing in a little personal side note, I guess.

Wait, what? So when you're trying to give someone a heads-up, you actually write it in red letters? I guess maybe that's your thing!
So why did Chiro say that, when I actually asked him... I guess maybe he was just thinking out loud?

crimsonscout19 I guess he's saying:
I don't get why you guys have to go straight to punishing me... I guess if you’d just given me a polite heads-up, I probably would've realized my mistake right away! But instead, it's just an immediate red card, lost points, and a ban. Total bummer!

So, you're really trying to prove me wrong about getting banned without any warning?? I guess maybe you think you've got me there!

Chiro23 said:Wait, you didn't even get a warning? I guess maybe they just let it slide this time! Anthony Jackson2 So, did Fred really not say anything at all on those threads? I guess maybe he just stayed quiet, huh?

Does Chiro know that you haven't sent any of my posts in red? I guess!

So, does that mean all those things you were throwing at me personally in your posts before the ban wasn't actually an official moderator warning? Since you were using black text instead of red, I guess it was just your own opinion as a user? You were basically just trying to bait me and push me onto thin ice, Anthony Jackson2!

Look, I’m honestly just asking you to let me be, man. Seriously, maybe instead of coming at me, you could go test those theories on the people who can't stop replying to every single thing I post every two days? You haven't found some troll or provocateur here; you just ran into someone with a different opinion. If I don't think Luka Modrić belongs at Real Madrid and you do, then maybe just back off and leave me out of it!

After I handed out that ban on the Ectomorph vs. Mesomorph thread (the one with the PDF about soccer), I went ahead and dropped this post:

crimsonscout19 said:I guess Zlatan Ibrahimović totally crushed that old stereotype during yesterday's Sweden-England match! He proved once again that being tall and big doesn't mean you can't be super agile, fast, and coordinated like people always claim. 😢
I guess Zlatan Ibrahimović is definitely the player of the year, and honestly, he’s probably a sign of where football is heading—big, powerful guys. It feels like when you've got someone like him on the squad, it's almost like playing with an extra man! 👍

Right after that, Anthony Jackson2 jumps in with a reply:

Anthony Jackson2 said:Looks like you're still pulling off those crazy stunts! I guess maybe you just can't help yourself, haha!I guess football is probably gonna be dominated by these massive, powerhouse players in the future, though you look at someone like Lionel Messi and realize he’s still likely the best player out there right now! 🙂

I didn't want to clog up the thread, so I just sent Anthony Jackson2 a DM instead:

Hey there! Hope you're having a great night!

I guess maybe we could say that he’s just on another level entirely! Honestly, I think it's pretty wild how much better he is than everyone else.
Hey mods, what kind of gymnastics am I supposed to be doing here? I don't really get what was so controversial about my post that you're giving me grief over!

Sent at 5:19 PM.

I mean, I guess since Anthony Jackson2 was online at least twice—judging by the posts he put up in the meantime— Post one! I guess I'll just drop the second post here! Hope you guys like it!Man, he didn't even come close to replying to my DM as fast as he hits up my posts! I guess I'll just call him out here—hey, let us know what you actually think about this! Looks like you're still out there pulling off those crazy stunts! I guess!.

What kind of crazy stunts do you think I'm pulling now, Anthony Jackson2?
Look, this isn't exactly news to me—you've been pushing my buttons before. I feel like you were lowkey trying to bait me into an argument a few times right before you got banned, just to see if you could get a reaction out of me. Maybe you're just looking for drama?

What's even the big deal with my post? I don't get why you're trying to drag me into this or lecture me, I guess!

Christian Taylor3 said:And that Anderlonov logic is still going strong: "It’s strictly forbidden to be condescending, arrogant, cynical, sarcastic, or act like you're some god-tier admin when handling complaints on PZK. (If you do, expect a ban.) If you can't manage to be cheerful and friendly, at least try to stay neutral and professional. Though, I guess it might be fun to watch people get totally floored by how polite the Appeals Team is.."

I feel like we've just been sitting on the sidelines watching certain mods and admins go on these massive ego trips for years now, which is probably why most of us stay quiet. That group of four from that banned religion is such a clear example of how the management team can basically terrorize people. And honestly, I guess I have to give a thumbs down to bluecyclist64 for his comments on the guys who started this thread—it's high time we finally call out the way mods torture people by deleting weird posts, which is why my post count has dropped to such an amateur level.
