pablo, et al and zinfandel thread

[Thomas]

I know I am not the only one who noticed that we never got direct answers--therefore, I don't believe a word of either one of their final (pray) posts...

Would be good if trolls stayed around long enough to learn the lengthy wine experience and years behind posters on this bb before they made remarks about our collective lack of knowledge.

Like I said, they never seem interested in any learning. They just want to keep the fire burning. It's funny how it feeds on itself and how fast post counts grow when it's a debate. It currently has 4 more posts than our offline info thread. Which is more important?

[Thomas]

And glass, pablo has shown up on another thread, so he/she is not giving up.

I just don't understand some people. There is nothing wrong with a good debate. Adults should be mature enough to be able to agree to disagree, no matter what the topic is. And civil enough to answer questions with respect- but hey, maybe I should take off my rose-colored glasses and step back into reality.

Something makes me think that pablo has a personal agenda with his appearance here. Or maybe it's just an inferiority complex. Don't they have psychologists or medications for that sort of condition?

[Bucko]

Maybe Pablo is just a fan of Coturri. I'm not -- too many bad bottles.

The Coturri of the north is Black Canyon Winery. I find their wines horrid, but the winery has its avid fans.

[Thomas]

Well, without wanting to restart the debate--the point is, Bucko, pablo could have been a bonafide fan, but he/she engaged in tactic rather than debate. An obvious agenda.

Why do you suppose that so many knowledgeable wine drinkers and wine people find C's wines a problem?

[Bucko]

True, he may be a shill for the winery, but he may be a fanatic fan -- we don't know.

Benefit of a doubt and all of that stuff ...

Buck-Snort he was given lots of opportunity to clarify his position. As you know, we have lots of divergent opinions on this board O Leather-Tongued One, and we still manage to explain why we think as we do, not quote the Speculator, WSJ, or some other rag. I take umbrage at being talkled down to by some-one who has no idea about my expertise. As stated on another thread, this board can put the experience of its' members tasting expertice against any group in the USofA. Instead he choose to tell us we had no idea how good the swill Coturri puts out was a figmant of our imagination. Posh and Foo. WW

You be the best gutter supiner I've ever seen ... snicker. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

As Dean Martin used to say, "those aren't cufflinks I wear, they're curb feelers..."

I just went over and read that thread. Wow. Finally someone as pedantic as me. I'm crushed. What do I do now?

I'm happy to see that Pablo has figured out the "cut", "copy", and "paste" commands under the "Edit" button. (Took me a couple of years to find those.) Had to be that, 'cause nobody in the world writes like that in an online forum. Most people don't even bother with spelling, syntax, or punctuation. That Cotturi website must have very discrete copy blocs.

I knew he sounded familiar.
