To go back and try to make it into something other than that is not right. I've explained many times what this is about...including a post BEFORE you previously responded. I give you guys a lot of latitude in how you phrase things, choosing not to pick apart your phrases to distort the real meaning. If you wish to turn this into a forum of "contract language", count me out.
Besides, I see nothing in my post to suggest that killer instinct (it) is not a product of genetic make-up and therefore, technically, is consistent with my stance. A blue ribbon for you for finding a word that makes my last statement incorrect. Also, MJs killer instinct has little to do with the general idea of the post. It is a but one part of his qualities (the killer instinct, which by the way, and which was HONED by his competitions with his bro). Whether I said it or not (and I did) is irrelevant. Let's just break this down into simple concepts that can be responded to in simple ways.
My stance is that the traits that allow a person to become a leader,or winner at high levels is governed by genetic make-up. I supported this by citing actual research. All opposed to this idea please do not post back on anything that is not supported by some legitimate source, unless you qualify by stating it as your opinion. Simple rules, right? See who can follow them.

its a shame you are delusional about your own behavior .
you claim not to want to pick apart posts based on what you termed "contract language" but that is what you attempted to do to me and others on this thread ...but when its thrown back at you ...
you suddenly dont want to play this game anymore .
you dish out stuff all the time as far as insults and little snide remarks putting people down but seem a little thin skinned when its thrown back at you and thats a sad indictment on you, it really is.
i have no problem letting things of that nature slide , there are people on this board who make those kind of mistakes all the time and i never call them on it and I dont plan to in the future I simply do my best to understand their point and converse with them on that level and the reason is simple I treat people the way they treat others as far as I can see.
If you were a poster who treated people with respect , from me you'd get it.
if you were the kind of poster who would let "contract language" as you term it slide , I would let your errors slide with no problem...i would never even mention them because i really dont need to I am perfectly capable of making my point without them.
this board is as leniant as any board on this site as far as the stuff said and the ideas expressed, this thread is supposedly about Thomas' job performance , the last time anyone even mentioned Thomas was like 5 pages back, if no one else cares , than neither do I.
You swear you've made your point over and over again , and if you really knew anything about the subject and I believe it was Chan who pointed it out to you but you failed to grasp it was this .
they are all theories ...none of it is factual and you cant really prove a theory , because if you could it wouldn't be a thoery , it would be a fact.
psychology = 1 big grouping of theories
and to be honest they change all the time, there are always new studies saying one thing and then there is a study that says the opposite that comes along later.
also unless a study was done on that particular person we are posting about there is no way to decipher which way the win blows on that particular theory because there are no 100% cases in large numbers or generalizations , if there were , it would be a fact not a theory...they could easily be an exception
, most of this post has been brought by what Da Grinch learned himself the 1st day he took Psych 101 some years back...so take it easy on the college man he might know what he's talking about.
and once again when it comes to MJ he and his circle of people say it came from his setbacks namely getting cut from HS as a sophmore and competing with his brother in the backyard, no one has studied Jordan close up , he says it , his family has said it and his friends have said it in interviews , that you cling to theories even at this point when common sense says give it up long ago, well i'm at a loss for words on that , so i'll just end the post here.
