Another Class Act by Bonds................

[thesanityannex]

Seriously?

When did he "require" and when did he "refuse"?

The way I read it, a fan asked Bonds to sign a ball, Bonds declined. The fan asked Bonds for a picture, Bonds accepted. Bonds asked the fan to sign the waiver, and the fan accepted. (Not necessarily in that order.) Nobody forced anybody to do anything.

As I said before, I would probably not have done the same thing, but that doesn't make it classless, it makes it his decision.

You read "declined", I read "refused". You read "asked", I read "required".


Whatever though, the fact still remains that Bonds is not the "friendliest" guy around. I believe we can agree on that.

Ok, that's fine. You just didn't understand my post. I was saying that Bonds was not being an ******* in this instance- he took a picture with the guy, and was not, in my opinion, rude in declining the autograph request. Therefore, while we should as a society discourage people from being *******s, I was not in any way defending or rationalizing such behavior, because that behavior, in my opinion, didn't take place here. So that statement doesn't make much sense in the context of the thread, which is what I was trying to say.

There's nothing wrong with my comprehension, no matter how many times you keep saying otherwise. I interpreted your post just fine; it comes down to the two of us interpreting the same event two different ways... You say "poh-tay-to," I say Bonds acted like an asshat.

Your entire argument is based on the opinion that Bonds didn't act like an asshat. My argument is based on the opinion that he did.
