But, I AM anti-SI, and I explained why in my first post. They are artificially generating controversy, intentionally, to sell their product. They do this time and again, as does ESPN, USAToday, CNN in general, etc. This is the nature of the modern media. News is a product which they sell, and controversy sells news.
So... it IS that particular website, and that IS your reason.
The controversy they generate to sell their product has nothing to do with whether they hate us or not, and frankly I don't care if they do.
I don't agree that a "SI hates us" conversation was imminent, but who knows. Probably would have been better to play that out rather than go off on a tangent ahead of time, but whatever.
And as for your apology, it's accepted, but not needed. You're cool, and if you want to put me on your ignore list that's cool, too. It's not like I say anything that's must-read, anyway.
