Okay, I don’t have time to express my thoughts and outrage but I must STRONGLY express that manhattan’s reasonings (to say nothing of his attitude!) for closing my thread instead of moving it to GD (link below). I have to go now to watch and see if the Ducks really do win tonight, as I have foreseen, or if I have to revise my theories a bit. So everyone, pray for the Ducks!! They are fighting the Devils, after all…(more later) Oh, and Achenar, if you’re reading this, I have no problem at all with what you said, in fact I laughed when I read your post. I know full well that my theories are FAR left field, and I accept that and even enjoy it. But it’s a far different thing to say you disagree than to call a person “STUPID”, especially from someone supposedly in a position of authority who INSULTS SOMEONE’S RELIGION, breaking the very rule he’s supposed to uphold! I will definitely be reporting manhattan to all the admins over this. But I don’t have time to get pissed right now…I have a game to watch and enjoy.

That’d be [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=189586), in which **Manhattan** ends with the remark: > [@](#): > > I’m not. **KGS** , your beliefs are stupid, this is not a General Question and you need not use a spoiler box to obscure your guess about the hockey game. > > This thread is closed. I gotta say, I agree. I think it’s stupid to say that you should have to use a spoiler box because you have a premonition that a certain team will win a sporting event. ---

Not only that, there’s a torchlight procession scheduled for 10 p.m., or whenever the hockey game is over. ---

My apologies, **KGS** – you’re right of course. At some point in the future humans will band together to deflect a meteor, which meteor will travel back in time to crash a Space Shuttle and make the Ducks win the Stanley Cup. Oh, and _The Matrix_ is prophesy, not a movie. Stupidity is not a religion. ---

I mean, your question was, boiled down: “Should I use a spoiler box to post future results that I claim to have seen in a vision, even though I haven’t given anyone any objective reason to believe my visions are accurate?” ---

Dude, **The Matirx** is a movie. Pretend. Not real. Fiction. If they Ducks win it is only because I fliped a coin. Heads the Ducks win, tails they lose. ---

Well, **I** , for one, am going to predict the future.The Ducks will win the cup.Also,The Devils will win the cup.One of those predictions is true. I put a false one in there too, just so I won’t cause a breakdown in the worldwide economy when everyone bets on the winner. I do this for you. ---

**manhattan** is now my personal hero. If I used a sig, I would put “Stupidity is not a religion” in it. I agree he was a bit abrasive, but what do you expect from posting stupid stuff in GQ? ---

I feel for you **KGS**. The question was kinda, um, I’ll just say it was posted in the wrong forum because I don’t want to offend you or your religion. And then **manny** came and was mean and rude to you. The fucking bastard. He looks like Evil Jesus IRL and he frightens me. Bone-chilling, goosebumb inducing fright. Fright that visits me n the middle of the night bringing along dreams and visions. The kind that makes me sweaty and tingly all over and makes my breast heave and my thighs tremble. . . uhm, what’s this thread about again? ---

Trying to make the world turn backwards so he can go back in time, and wondering what sound it would make. He’s also watching Visa commercials and deciding that identical twins don’t _really_ resemble each other. ---
