SouthNYfan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 1 hour ago, DCOrange said: The issue is that people don't always commit crimes because it logically makes sense for them to do so. In fact, it almost never makes logical sense. Just because McCoy doesn't have anything to gain from our perspective doesn't mean he didn't have anything to gain from his. Hell, just because a crime was committed doesn't mean that the perpetrator had anything to gain at all. But assuming that the attacker required having something to gain, the simple answers: 1. McCoy gets what he views as his possessions back. 2. McCoy gets the power/control of the situation/her. 3. McCoy scares her out of going to court/out of the house. And most of all, since McCoy isn't personally carrying out the act, he thinks he can slip by since he technically has an alibi. I am not saying that McCoy is guilty. Obviously Cordon's statement makes it look pretty bad but that's also obviously just her side of the story and the major red flag in it (the attacker requesting the specific items that McCoy wanted) is strictly based on her word and nothing else. We should clearly sit back and see how things develop. My point is simply that crimes aren't always committed because the criminal has something to gain, and even if it doesn't seem like it to us, McCoy may have thought that he had something to gain anyways. I don't disagree. Motive is a big thing in crime. You make good points as to what his motives would be. She also has motive in terms of self preservation ($$$ and housing), and ex bf revenge. Honestly it's a very crazy situation with so many plausible outcomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the OED is rightly the standard (and you did not actually cite the OED, btw; you'd need a quite expensive subscription to be able to do that), but Webster's New World College Dictionaries are fine dictionaries that do all of the things you say they don't. I am currently looking at the second edition of the Webster New World College Dictionary, and it provides etymological context etc. As I'm sure you know, Merriam-Webster is the corporate owner of the Webster name when it comes to dictionaries. As for Oxford, we publish all types of dictionaries, including American ones and ones that are meant for 4th graders. The Webster New World College Dictionary is the official dictionary of the NYT, WSJ, and AP. (God, I feel like Marshall McLuhan in "Annie Hall"!) You shouldn't feel like Marshall. He would have chewed your damn head off if you didn't use Oxford, any U of T English prof would have. Next your going to tell me that Oxford University press publishes plenty of style guides, which are not the Chicago Manual, and that those guides are fine, as well. Its your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but come on man, no writer or editor worth their salt uses Merriam or Chicago.

oldmanfan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 As I stated earlier, in the Internet age when everyone expects things to be settled RIGHT NOW, investigations take time. The legal authorities and the league will do so, and when they know the facts then a decision will be made. But I will say this: expect pressure on the Bills organization. My daughter (whom I have brought up to be a proud Bills fan) texted me this morning about this incident. And to quote: I don't want a player on our team that I can't be proud of. The me too movement is thankfully alive and well, and I suspect women who are fans of the team will be watching this very closely to see what the league and the team do. And I expect Kim P will be listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You...have provided no actual evidence you are in the right. I've wasted enough time actually looking things up. You seem ready to easily handwave away what we've said while providing nothing to back your own assertions. It's like arguing with a child. "Well, you have to admit, this proves..." "Nu-unh!" "Look, all the evidence sh..." "NU-UNH!!!". Sorry, not wasting any more time. I proved my point. Time you actually prove yours. Yep. Asserting that a woman beat herself up and called the cops is a very plausable scenario is a very respectful thing to say. It doesnt make you an uneducated piece of garbage that has no clue how rare those cases are and how ****ty those assertions make actual victims of violence feel. They all agreed with you on that.
