That would be the final straw.
I think it sounds more like a trade Dave doesn't like...talking about how Bobby Flay can't make a meal with only charcoal for ingredients.
Whatever. It's started to become a little bit like the Facebook friend who likes to post things like "If only the world weren't such a cruel place..."
Dave, I respect you, buddy, but it's getting old. Stop with the mystery tweets, especially the sad ones.
Enough.
I don't know what to tell you. There is an unfollow button, use it. I get absolutely zero out of Twitter followers, it's a fun way to communicate with fellow fans. If you are thinking its to promote my show, trust me when I say the analytics don't support it at all. Remember, we get zero credit for ratings as pertains to streaming or anything other than people with meters actually listening on an old fashioned radio, and 90 something percent of Twitter users stream.
I think out loud on Twitter. I vent. I post. I can't do smileys or emoticons because it's too mysterious and its attention craving or whatever.
I tweet. I post here and other places. I periscope now. I do a show. I love talking Kings (usually). Sometimes I put info out there. Sometimes I hint (because it's all I CAN do). And to sound self-serving, I have a pretty decent track record of being honest in my thoughts and accurate in my news.
You can't win. You're a mouthpiece or a shill, or you're too negative or a Debbie downer or a drama queen or an attention whore.
I don't ask you to put ANY stock in what I say. You'll never hear me say "well, I do this or that so what I say is right". I'm very careful to let fans think what they want, and to dispel the myth that talk show hosts' opinions matter any more than Jane ticket holder.
I'm sorry I don't include a decoder ring with each tweet. You can simply choose to believe me or not when I say that. Short memories man.
This is a trying time for being a Kings fan, and I find myself in the rare position of having trouble finding a silver lining. I live and die with this team, and I'm probably too honest and open with my thoughts and my emotions and should probably back off, but that would be disingenuous.
So honestly, with all respect in the world and zero snark, don't follow me. Mods, take a poll and make a rule that none of my tweets be posted or referenced because they're too dramatic or inflammatory. Don't listen to my show, don't watch my periscopes.
I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm being serious. The drama stuff for some reason bites me today because there's WAY too much drama. If that's what you think, you are entitled and bless you and yours. Ignore me and simply move on. I swear I will not be offended.
Mods, I hope this doesn't hijack anything.
Lastly, I'll say it again, the Kings convos here are top notch, and times like today I'm glued to 3-4 sites, and this is one of them. You are all passionate and knowledgable, and I learn a ton by reading. I love it. And I love being a part of this wonderfully dysfunctional kings family.
