I was watching the game, and they hadn't canceled it when this was posted, and the article said that it already was. Clearly the article was incorrect which is why I was responding, so people didn't read the misinformation. As soon as it was canceled I updated the comments with the edit.

Except the article was never incorrect. You were. Twice. You didn't just say it was incorrect, you called it garbage; that's reactionary and ultimately makes you look foolish.

You're entirely free to continue behaving however you want, but noise will never be signal, and I'm much more interested in what you could contribute to a signal.

Article was marginally correct, but he leaped upon the slightly-wrong-at-the-time-wording ("all games" when tonight's schedule other than Utah was still intended to be played) with way too aggressive language.

Then fate turned around and made the article somewhat more true, when the last game of the night was cancelled due to refs having worked Utah games. (However, intervening games after the Utah game were played, so, it wasn't "all games" originally).

Still doesn't excuse the commenter being a jerk about it and overreacting.

You weren't watching a game _that hadn't started_ when it was canceled.
