Jon Jones arrested for DUI

[gnp]

Wow is it just me that thinks this thread got way out of hand?

Lets look at this logically. JBJ broke the law which ever way you want to dress it up that's what it boils down to. Now while certain people may not like the celebrity culture being 'news' that's the world we live in and because of this our celebrities/sports stars are paid insane amounts if money. There was a time when an MMA star getting a DUI would not have made news but at the same time JBJ would have been getting a few grand per fight.
Trust me when I tell you JBJ would take the huge paydays for a few people gossiping about what he did rather than being broke but no one outside of his family knowing what he had done.

Secondly this is a discussion forum specifically where members are here for a love of Matt and the sport if you really have an issue with us discussing JBJ's failings then that's your own issue and not the forums.

Ok...help me define the distinction between "put down" and "judged". . .

So, in your opinion (which is less arrogant and self-righteous as mine) no one has a right to play devil's advocate?

And if they do - you reserve the "right" to lambast them for it?

Where did I "lambast" you? There was literally no personnel attack in my post merely a few of my own observations. I would be interested for you to point this out as you have asked similar of so many others.

You posted smiley laughs after someone called me "arrogant and self-righteous" - did you do that because you did not mean anything personal?

Actually yes I did, the sarcasm in the post genuinely made me laugh as I was reading the posts so I posted a laugh pretty simple really.

Now onto where I "Lambasted" you?

I do appreciate the honesty here, thanks
