Again thanks for affirming my initial thought, for a second time.

Would a "second affirmation" be kinda like a reaffirmation?

I thought under the circumstances, using smaller words would be best.

I agree with you. When I was listening to the speech, it shocked me. Cause it was a bit harsh. But I know what she ment by it and I know she didn't mean to put anyone down. I don't know her personally , but I can't imagine any one purposely being that way. I have blurted thing out lots of times and thought about it afterwards, and wished I had said it different. I cheered her on in the run....shes amazing! wish I was going to kona with her!

First of all, I refrain from judging your intelligence based on your ignorance of the details of that case.
Second of all, I don't think that the ability to meet due dates is a very good way to assess intelligence.
When it comes to due dates, I know a lot of prompt dumbasses, and a lot of intelligent people who are regularly late.

I believe she meant no disrespect to her competition. She has wanted to go back to Kona for so long and finally realized her dream. I say cut her some slack.
I agree. I should have added that I would suspect she didn't mean any harm, but wasn't thinking about her choice of words and comments. But again, that why it's best to keep it simple. But passionate people are hard to bottle up.

Great! Wonderful! Maybe in her next schedule you can include learning about being tactful and gracious. I know Bree, she's a great personality and warm, but intelligence is not one of her stronger suits.and this, coming from someone who's still throwing around the word 'retarded.'

I'm on your side. She's a triathlete not a public speaker and I'm sure she meant no disrespect to her competitors.
That was a great quote by the way made me think.

Wow I must be a horrible, stupid, and mean person. That word is one of my favorite words.
I am sure I have offended more than a few people with my frequent usage. I felt a disturbance in the force the day it's usage was banned on slowtwitch.
The only thing that managed to tone down my usage of the word was the arrival of a kid my house.

In the words of my good man Axel Rose , 'not to be an asshole BUT' I cant be the only guy to find the bi joke kind of funny. Looks like we have some folks here on the twitch that are so freekin literal that all jokes and sarcasm have to be in pink
I mean really.... How could you think the guy was asking a serious question on the BI acronym while I was laughing while I read it??
Hmm??

We get so used to athletes ( in all sports) who are good with public speaking - they are good at it so they get the lions share of it that when we have to listen to someone who is not that adept at it.
I work a lot as a Race Announcer and often have to interview athletes, and sometimes it's really hard to pull stuff out of them - I can tell that they are really struggling so I'll keep in short and sweet. Others, are very good on their feet in these situations, very comfortable, confident and know exactly what to say.

Definitely not you, we're talking about a pro triathlete that makes it extremely well known she is from Hawaii, the joke going right over this person's head is unreal to me.

Delivery when it comes to humor is everything.
With the tone towards Bree on this thread in general, the humor escaped me at the time, then he decided to up the anti to affirm my thought's of him after I accepted his response.
In hind sight, I should have spelled it out. Your point is well taken. Don't ever apologize for being an Ass Hole, that's a quality I can respect.
Also with the spelling and grammar nazi he thinks he is,,,, shouldn't he have spelled it Bi not BI when he replied? Just sayin ;)

I would think he capitalized it as it was an acronym.
