Rather than ridiculing people why don't you make your response simply about what you disagree with. Focusing on who is saying something and why they're saying it is going to get you nowhere. Like I said earlier, you guys are just as big of a problem in Kobe discussions as all the haters are.

I've been around on this site long enough to know that most of the posters here who criticize Kobe, at least on the general boards, have some agenda. Obviously, there are several posters who criticize Kobe and it's perfectly fine, but there are far more haters on this site, and they are to be called out.
The most annoying thing about Kobe haters, to me, is that they mix and match what he does off the court with what he does on it, when they are almost always completely unrelated. What he does off the court should be completely insignificant as long as it doesn't affect what he does on the court. If you're a basketball fan, why even care about what goes on off the court? When people see Jason Kidd running a typical flawless fast break, do they think "haha, wifebeater" or "great point guard"? Kobe deserves the same treatment. All basketball players do. That's what annoys his fans so much - people's intense dislike for Kobe as a person keeping them from often even acknowledging his obviously high level of basketball talent and skill, much less appreciating it.
