You guys make a valid point about the Gomi fight.

Would you create a **** storm by ranking Diego Top 10 as a LW?  Naw.  You're too popular here, bennie boy.  You are the furthest thing from a controversial, polarizing member.  Now if I said it?  The sky would fall.

But I now see you've revised your LW Rankings and down-graded Diego from 5th to 10th.  Selling out?  

One fight that might be a Prairie Wildfire would be Diego Sanchez vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov!  Talk about epic scrapping.  No backing off in that wingding!  Diego vs. Nate Diaz would also bring the house down.

But a serious question remains for the house.  Who should Showtime Pettis face after Josh Thomson?

Gilbert Melendez or Jose Aldo?  Tough one.

While I appreciate you saying so Bill, there are some people around here that really do not like me. I think every post i´ve made recently, regardless of how innocous or on point, gets 1-4 downvotes just because its me.

There's....a little something off about this fellow isn't there? Also is that a picture of him and his wife or of some serial killer? I'm not trying to be funny but those have been my two guesses for like a week now and **** it...I wanna know.

To say that there's something off about Bill Burgess is the understatement of the ******* year.

@buffalo ben You're almost never on point. All of your posts contain a sneer, obnoxious tone and you try to act superior to everyone when you have no reason to because half the things you say are idiotic (see Diego Sanchez being in the top 10 as an example) and the other half are unsupported by any evidence whatsoever.

Anyone who gets mass thumbed down gets it for a reason. I'm not talking about one person following someone's posts around and thumbing them all down; if your posts have 3 thumbs down or more, it's probably because you either said something stupid or said something annoying.

You get thumbed down by a plethora of people because you're a snob who doesn't have a reason to be one.
Wolfman gets thumbed down by a plethora of people because he's a schizophrenic hack with no friends.
Bill Burgess gets thumbed down because he's a lonely mad man who seems to be the only person who likes the people above.

There are reasons why people get mass thumbed down. Stop acting like it's a problem with the world when it's a problem with you.

So he's like a 60 yearold jewish dude who's avatar is of a failed marriage from back in the day, he constantly posts offbeat **** and despite being a consistent member on Tapology never picks any fights? I think I need an adult.

Nah, but I was very interested in his picture, I thought the photo in the corner was some mug shot or something and that it was some serial killer who ate his wife or something, I just thought weird poster, weird avatar makes sense? Somehow he's become ever more obscure. 

I'mma stop being a **** now to the guy though, I was just curious about the picture and he reminds be of a unnervingly odd poster from another forum. Also, I was thinking his ******* jokes on the joke of the day thread sound like some 1960's psuedo intellectual ****...Also had me wondering, sup with this fool?

Anik, i sincerely appriciate your feedback. I didn´t realize i was coming across as a snob. 

I don´t think im the smartest or best informed mma fan in the world. To be honest joined this website because i want to learn more about mma. 

People do get mass thumbed down for a reason. I just wanted toknow what the reason was because, believe it or not, before this minute i had no idea.

I presented the idea of Diego Sanchez in the top 10. For you its easier to just call my idea idiotic, but you failed to realize that people like Nomad actually engaged me in decent conversation. Nomad convinced me that i was ranking Diego way to high, and i was. It´s not that i give a **** if you call me an idiot, since you don´t even know me, it´s more the fact that you get in the way when im trying to find people who are actually willing and able to educate me.
