These are your words, right? "I understand if someone can't relate, but as a baseball player, and a fan of professional baseball, seeing the reactions of men who lost a teammate and a friend definitely hits hard."
I don't relate and it doesn't hit me hard. Therefore, according to you, I must not be a fan of baseball.
Your post was in a public forum. It addresses everyone who can read it, you stupid bastard.
Let's try the approach you use with BL. Answer a simple question:
"I understand if someone outside the game can't relate"
"Anyone who can't relate must be outside the game"
Are these two statements the same? I'll wait here.
I'll play your stupid game because I'm bored. No, they are not the same.
Now, if you would, why include "but as a baseball player, and a fan of professional baseball" if you weren't trying to exclude? This stands alone pretty well:
"I understand if someone can't relate, but, seeing the reactions of men who lost a teammate and a friend, it definitely hits hard."
Did you just have "extra words" you wanted to use?
