"contribute to each game's merits"
Instead you spent the entire OP contributing to cricket's merits (which is reasonable) and the rest discrediting the other sports. That's a logical contradiction. Your sentence is thus self-defeating.
I'm sorry but I can't defy logic here and all of a sudden think that this thread was actually created for what you are trying to insinuate now. I simply came in and followed the thread and gave the merits to the sport I knew about. In no place did I ever decide to bash cricked or show how baseball ups it in any case.
But I have, with logic to back me up, questioned your motives and knowledge of baseball due to the way you have presented yourself and the topic. And considering you also did state you were bias I would say my questioning is not only confirmed but really begs the question of why you are even defending yourself on this. You acknowledge early on you didn't seek to be logical because you were affirming your bias first. So that's a second logical contradiction
You should instead be thanking me for giving the merits of the other sport in question while not taking shots at the other which is what you originally asked for. And you shouldn't contradict yourself (twice actually). Either you came in here to give the merits of both or you didn't. Either you came in here to be logical or you came in here to be bias. Either way, it is quite obvious to see where my questioning of your character and the nature of this thread has arisen. Now please show me that you simply worded things wrong and meant to put it another way. Either way, doesn't matter to me. I've presented myself correctly in this thread, pointed out the merits of the sport I know about and not tried to deny the other or talk about it ignorantly, and kept a firm but respectful composure.

I didn't say that *I* was going to state each games merit's, I said "let's". Which includes me, but I already stated a bias so I stuck on the cricket side, the rest is up to you all. I thought this was obvious, but clearly it is not, at least for someone like you. At no point you ever stated that you don't know anything about cricket. So essentially, you were doing the same as you thought I was doing.

From my original post:
It might be easy for someone on the outside to be able to call something easy but until you really play it competitively, you are just speaking out of your ass. Which is why I will not simply call Cricket and easy sport that a bunch of silly men play.
I'm not going to call what it is (which I should because it was rude) but that is not a good way to formulate an argument. And even if I hadn't made that statement up there, which I did of course, I in no way ever used any of my posts to discredit something else out of any form (whether ignorance or not). So stating that I was doing the same as you simply isn't true.
Now I don't want to further derail the topic off-subject because that is not my intention here. My intention was to point out the merits of baseball which i know about and then point out the flaws and contradictions of another's arguments because it is necessary in debate to know who you should listen to and who you shouldn't. If you really want to keep denying logic then please PM me or put a wall post about it. But I will have respect for your thread and let it continue as is.
