Hey dude,

Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson on Saturday. How to be Zen in the face of adversity.

I did nothing to provoke you, but the words "Liverpool sucks" couldn't come out of your mouth quickly enough. But it's okay, I know how glory-hunters work so I don't take your offense too personally. I forgive you.

You might want to try actually using your own means and achievements to provoke me instead of jumping on the bandwagon and lauding other people's achievements as if they were your own though, at least there'll be more grounds for your provocation.

I'm very happy at the way I responded, and I'm sure you're disappointed at being unable to provoke me into anger, because I'm absolutely sure that that was your intention.

Oh and by the way, Liverpool's non-class players (in your opinion) actually beat Man United's full-of class players (in your opinion again) earlier in the season 2-1, after going 1-0 down... And we're higher up the table as well.

So I have nothing to argue with you. Liverpool may not be strong enough to mount a title challenge this season (I don't think they will), but at least there is solid proof of that result, instead of skewed and biased opinions.

I respect your opinions though, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with them. I forgive you once more, and hope that you will learn something from this. If not, you might encounter someone who is not as forgiving as I am and something will happen to you. I hope that day doesn't happen though.

Thanks again for the valuable lesson.
