Kinda sad theme of the board

LowCountryCat said:
That's funny. Calbois constantly call anyone who so much as expresses an ounce of concern about the program a fake fan, which IS a smear. I've never seen you object to that once. That makes you a hypocrite.

Calling them Calbois doesn't help at all. Just because I want to talk about the program, the team, the recruits, the returning players, the Bahamas trip, and etc, without having to fight off hijack attempts to make it a negative on Cal doesn't mean I have some kind of sick crush on the coach. It's nonsense. It's like I'm back in junior high and I walked past the bullies table in the cafeteria and they're all attacking with their ignorant jabs. Maybe I should make that my mission as a moderator. Delete every comment that isn't directly related to the thread topic, every hijack attempt. I'd be deleting half your posts lowcountry.

Calling fans who disagree with Cal Louisville fans is okay I suppose?

It's only a baiting thread to those who feel like Cal is the spawn of satan and should be drawn and quartered. Otherwise, if you are someone who actually wants to talk about UK basketball and hate what this board has become, it describes your feelings perfectly. It describes my feelings perfectly.

Take for instance, I decided today to actually come see what is happening on the board. This is my first visit in 3 weeks. Every thread is turned into the same thing. It's maddening. We can't talk about UK or basketball or recruiting or the Bahamas tour or anything without all of it turned into attacks on the coach.

There you go generalizing and insulting people. I'm Satan spawn? Really? You probably need more time away from the board. Geez.

And you need a lesson in reading comprehension. Read it again. I was referring to the way people hate Calipari and think HE is the spawn of satan. Geez. Haha! :D

You're right. I completely misread that part. But the rest of what I said stands. I doubt anyone thinks Cal is Satan spawn. Nobody thinks he's any of the superlatives some people sling around on this board. Don't like this board? You're part of it. Be as positive with your fellow fan as you are with Cal. That's what I'm saying.

It reminds me of the people obsessed with politics. No matter what the subject other people are talking about, they're gonna jump in and derail the conversation to grind their axe.

At the very least, you mods need to strictly enforce a ban on the fights/personal insults that are so common. Threads will go on for PAGES of 2 or 3 people just insulting each other.

"Spawn of Satan?"

That's EXTREME hyperbole. NOBODY has said anything like that. But if you disagree with this baiting post, you somehow think Cal is the spawn of satan?

I thought the mods were supposed to be impartial.

Some may be. We're all anonymous here. There have always been people posting here who are fans of other teams and like to stir the pot. They play a role and enjoy laughing at the reactions they get. I certainly don't believe every poster who hates on Cal constantly is a UofL fan, though. There are many UK fans who are doing that these days- true fans who are very disgruntled. And as I said above, I get it. I suppose I just wonder how long we have to continue the same theme. Cal is the coach for next year, at least. Do we have to bash him incessantly and turn every thread into the same bashing for the entire summer? Maybe we can create a month for Cal bashing.... "July is Cal bashing month on Cats Illustrated! Come join the fun! Let's run that SOB out of town! August is torches and pitchforks month if July doesn't do the trick!"

Nope, I don't have to be impartial. I have my own thoughts. I don't think this was a baiting thread. And no, you don't have to SAY those exact words. Your feelings are well known. I've just put it in terms that are much clearer. And yes, it was hyperbole to make a point.

Actually that doesn't make sense.Louisville fans love Cal right now so they wouldn't be hating on him.I'm sure they hope he stays 20 more years.He's doing nothing for UK.

Absolutely agree. And do it on both sides. Don't ban only half the argument. Ban both people.

Perhaps, but you have to remember this- UofL fans love torturing UK fans. So, whatever they could do to irritate and frustrate UK fans is what some would do. But to be honest, I'd say most of the ones turning every thread into a bash Cal session are UK fans. I don't think calling them Louisville fans is a legitimate explanation for the condition of this board.

Wait wait wait! You now have the ability to read people's FEELINGS? And over the internet, to boot?

So you complain about people using the hyperbolic term 'Calbois' to make a point but you have no problem with using 'Spawn of Satan?'

You're embarrassing yourself.

This is nonsense. I have not seen a single thread created that praises Cal, says he is amazing, etc… Show me one such thread.

Yet, everyday, multiple times a thread is created calling Cal a new (derogatory) nickname, bashing him for something, and hijacking every thread created with anti-Cal garbage.

It’s beyond stupid and has allowed a handful of people (you included) to completely ruin this board.

No, some of you are crying into your pillow. Daily. Multiple times a day actually. I’m just as pissed as y’all are, just as frustrated. But I’m not gonna have daily meltdowns. I can find a level spot to stand.

seriously, once a person voices their opinion and makes their stance known, why would they feel the need to repeat it every day for months and months like it’s Groundhog Day? That baffles me

You cry about negativity, completely forgetting it was Calipari who created the negativity around the program. Don’t shoot the messenger.
