Games of the XXX Olympiad (Official Thread)

[Cromarty]

Britain had never, never, won three Olympic golds in one day in athletics before. It's not disrespectful of the other athletes, and it's not hyperbole; this is the best-ever single day performance by the British Athletics team in terms of gold.

Yes, because the Olympics are the only sports competition worthy of attention. Like I said, its nice to know your opinion. Have a nice day.

So, what, in your opinion, was Britain's best ever day in athletics?

[Tourists of Glasgia]

Really confused by this:

Britain had never, never, won three Olympic golds in one day in athletics before. It's not disrespectful of the other athletes, and it's not hyperbole; this is the best-ever single day performance by the British Athletics team in terms of gold.

It was 3 golds in 1 hour and 6 in 1 day

I accidentally posted as this puppet but it still comes up as my main.

Not the one in question, obviously.

Not the one in question, obviously.

In other words... you can't think of any other day but you're arguing because you can.

Which is lolidiocy.

Never asked what it wasn't.

Probably a Friday. Good stuff always happens on a Friday.

Attack the post not the poster. Just because I don't want to tell you what I consider to be the best day, doesn't mean I don't have one in mind. I don't want to tell you because your only goal is to pick an argument with me and all you've been doing is name calling. I'm not attacking your opinion, I don't see why you're attacking mine. Unless you want to have a civil conversation, piss off.

No you didn't, and I don't have to tell you what I think it was either.

You are, however, attacking my opinion, and doing so, by the looks of things, with no real basis. Would it really be such a world-ending thing to share with us what you think is the greatest day in British Athletics? No.

Please do share your opinion with us.

Come on mate, you've opened up your opinion on the greatest day in GB athletics, and we're merely interested in hearing your views, that's it.

I was disagreeing with you, I was not attacking your opinion. As you can see by reading your posts I acknowledged that it was your opinion and you have every right to hold it. I was simply stating that I do not agree with you. I think there were a lot of great days in British sport and I don't think I need to pick one, but I do have one that I think stands out, but seeing as I have someone following me from thread to thread trying to pick an argument, name calling, and attacking me, I'd rather not share it. (This person is not you, so I'm truly sorry)

Following me from thread to thread calling me names, making assumptions that are unfounded and attacking me personally. No thanks, I'd rather not share my opinion with you. When you learn how to attack the post, and not the poster, and how to have a civil conversation, maybe I will, until then, creep off. I didn't come here to pick fights, so right now you're not worth my time.

You could always TG me with it. I'm intrigued now!

I think I will, I'm sorry if my post came off as offensive, I didn't mean it like that, I'm just sick off all the hyperbole and over dramatic commentating this olympics.

[Cromarty]

If you think I'm harassing you, go report it.

As a note, replying to two (ZOMGHARASSMENT) posts in two threads is hardly 'following you from thread to thread'.

[Cyborg Holland]

I can't actually think of a better one. The only one possible is Sydney 2000...

We can't help it; we're British, we don't quite know how to react to actually being good at sport!

You would think that the hype that the British media heaps upon any international sporting events involving the UK would prepare you.

I was trying to give you the chance to rectify your mistakes instead of reporting you, I'd rather not do that. It might only be two threads, but asking the exact same question in one right after another is none the less a pattern, and frankly there is no need or reason for your combative attitude. I don't like reporting people, its not my style, so you can either have a civil conversation with me, or you can leave me alone, but the personal attacks you're throwing at me, are hurting no one but yourself, not to mention an insult to your intelligence and intelligence in general.

Its fine, actually I'm watching NBC and the Americans are much worse about it to be honest. GB is plenty good at sports actually. Especially that team cycling...I don't really understand it though.

My apologies, I really was trying not to cause conflict. I just don't like putting people on ignore because of one disagreement because I might like their contributions elsewhere in the forum.

[Disserbia]

delete this sorry

You would think that the hype that the British media heaps upon any international sporting events involving the UK would prepare you.

And how often does that hype fall flat on its face?

Yeah so please, for the love that is good in the world, bitch slap each and every one of your media employees until they stop it
