You spend a lot of time comparing men's finger to sausage sizes.

I know a lot of women who do that.

One post now = “a lot of time”

Oh, did I use hyperbole? How obnoxious of me. I sincerely hope you are not butt hurt.

Are these people the source of your otherwise inexplicable position that any criticism of Benning is an implied endorsement of Gillis?

You can’t be a GillisBro and a BenningBro equally or with some parts of both however divided. It’s like are you a Jew or a Christian, or a Republican or a Democrat? You are either one or the other.

OK, this explains a bit. The possibility that you seem to be missing is that one can be neither.

You just described poster Y2K/Pauser!

He has, in fact railed against every GM in Canuck history!

The Pause has never had anything good to say about anything Canuck until he/she/it left the organization.

OK, this explains a bit. The possibility that you seem to be missing is that one can be neither. That is to say, there is no requirement to endorse the decisions or track record of either man as Canucks general manager. You could take a position on which one was better (or less bad), without thinking either was very good. Maybe think of it like the old Ford/Chevy rivalry -- a car enthusiast might hold that Mercedes was better than either, so the distinction was unimportant.

So far, Gillis and Benning have manged the Canucks to exactly the same number of Stanley Cup championships. When a Benning-managed Canucks team wins the Stanley Cup, it will be clear to me that Benning was better. I still think it would take the Dynasty that you promised to prove a genius, though.

You don't understand.

Leaves-loving Y2K has hated on every single Canuck GM from Day One.

And he never had a single good thing to say about the Sedins.

Y2K is clearly either a Leaves mole or Satan.

Or both.

Y2K is a very angry little man with all kinds of envy pouring out of every pore of his body. His postings reek of displaced aggression. Shit is going down in his real life as with all the GillisBros

Unless you want to go down the anti-Canucks conspiracy theory rabbit hole...
