once again.

optimist != realist
realist != pessimist

I don’t understand why you keep saying realism is pessimism.

I’ll stop there.

Great argument if you like putting works in peoples mouths. All I said is that realism and pessimism are getting confused on this site. Let me put it to you this way

If Chief31 is a pessimist and he calls himself a realist, what does that make the optomist?

If pessimist = realist
then
optomist = ???

It sure sounds like he says I (or anyone else with positive things to say) don’t konw what we are talking about and that we are not realistic.

Your kid does track, u hope he does well, but do u criticize his every move? Do u tell him he can win a race even if u know he can’t? Do you not blindly cheer for him no matter what?

You want to get your nose all bent out of shape then go ahead. I have not said a damn thing about anyones fandom, all I have said is learn the difference between a pessimist and a realist. Too many people think they are right all the time and anyones opinion that differs is not thinking realisticly.

I really don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp.
