Troll vs honest observations??

[ulismyman]

I have to put this out there for the board just based on my own personal experience on tbis board.
I take a pounding on here because i bring up topics that i am passionate about. Am i always right??? Hell no. Does that make me or other posters trolls for their less than popular opinions??? Hell no.

When you have coached (no matter the sport) and your family has played professionally it tends to create high passion and kind of a sense of entitlement to be able to have strong opinions on whats going on on the court or field or whatever the playing field is.
Did i think we would roll last night? Yes. Was i dead wrong?? Yes. Doesn't make me a tool or troll. Did i start a thread being critical of training staff?? Yes. That is my opinion based on years of following UK athletics and certain players not bouncing back from injury. You would have thought i did something to someones first born because i said Hawkins would not play last night...i was not saying that to be an asshole...it was my honest feelings based on what i have perceived at UK.

Back in the summer all you guys said i was incompetent because i thought Lee would be a better player than Skal...win some lose some. I was right about that, at least so far. What is my point to all of this??? Do not assume someone is trolling because their observations and analysis leads to a different conclusion than yours....Thanks

 

[JerseyCat84]

just because one is not a troll does not necessarily make them a good poster.

 

[ulismyman]

Good poster or not does not give other posters a right to get personal and tell them to go back to UL board or calling for Modd to take out this trash. That is complete garbage when fellow posters call for others to be banned

 

[TIE543]

I just want a dang update on Hawkins. Do we even really know what the problem is?

 

[ulismyman]

Sprained ankle

 

[CatEye2010]

OP, could be your username; starts with ul. Is it "ulis my man"? Or "ul is my man"?? May be causing doubt about your true fanliness. Then when some of your posts come off, well, kind of meeks4threeatthebuzzer or whatever his name was, some here get kinda riled up.

I do appreciate your passion, tho. But the trainer thing, COME ON, MAN! (in my best Chris Carter voice).

BBN comes in all sorts; it's all good!

Are you infiltrating our board for Zipp.


Just kidding.

 

[ulismyman]

Who is Zipp?? I have no clue who that is but i see his name daily

 

[ulismyman]

Ulismyman is my name because i love that kid

 

[fla.cat]

Everyone, including the perplexingly loved "Don" gets hammered on this board every once in a while.






Just kidding about the "perplexingly"

 

[deplion]

You seem obsessed with trying to prove you are not a troll, OP.

Why is that?

I never really get it about posters who want to be believed, trusted, and worshipped, or they feel slighted, not respected, and misunderstood on here. Its a freaken discussion site for Kentucky sports, and most of us don't have a clue who's who. If you make enough stupid or negative posts, you will be labelled. Show some ability to know the sports and most on here will realize it and give you likes. But whining about being unappreciated really takes the cake in my opinion. Sorry that I couldn't build you up man.

Don't break your arm, patting your own back.

They also said he was day to day, which is a much better outlook then I thought it would be.

 

[ulismyman]

Deplion....you have been around a long time...if every 5th or 6th thread you were labled a troll or uneducated on a topic you would get frustrated as well. This is a message board, the purpose of which is to discuss and vent at things you like or dislike about our players and coaches...no more no less. Just get frustrated when your loyalty as a fan gets questioned...that is all i am trying to convey. So next time i say our training staff sucks or get Poy out or Cal quit yelling....it's what fans do in heat of moment.

 

[kybassfan]

If you post in public, you should expect public response and criticisms. You openly bash elements of the Kentucky program on a Kentucky fan board you are going to take heat. Prime example are the trainers, which are exemplary. Your basketball knowledge seems to be lacking. You hug on Willis to the point that it isn't healthy. You create baiting threads. Then when you get called on any of this you whine pitifully. You've been so repetitive about this that folks expect it every time you create a thread.

Trolls are generally more comfortable on their own boards.

We all bitch and complain during and after a game like last night but the difference is, most of us don't do it on the message board. If the heat is the problem stay out of the kitchen, cool off before posting, it could help.

 

[ulismyman]

Kybass....i have a question for you...how would you know with any degree of accuracy how good our training staff is?? Do you know all of them petsonally?? If you dont..your opinion on them is no better than mine

 

[kybassfan]

Who is Zipp?? I have no clue who that is but i see his name daily

Like I believe this. Cover blown. Almost everytime Zipp is mentioned, he is called out as a Rambo mod on the UL board (I believe this to be true though I never go to rival boards unless linked from here).

So you knew who he was if you actually saw his name mentioned as you say or you really have some serious reading issues.

 

[kybassfan]

Kybass....i have a question for you...how would you know with any degree of accuracy how good our training staff is?? Do you know all of them petsonally?? If you dont..your opinion on them is no better than mine

I'm gonna answer a personal question for a troll?

Google Kentucky training staff and Tim Tebow. Remember Bogan's ankle during the tournament? Of course not.

Yes I do have some personal knowledge of those trainers. I can also READ.

 

[ulismyman]

Zipp and Steeler i see there names all the time...i just dont get involved in the discussion cuz i have no idea who they are what their history is...probably because according to you guys they hang out on UL board and i have never been on there...not sure why any uk fan would

 

[deplion]

Agree with this. Most everyone knows I gave Tubby a lot of heat on here over the years, but I knew when I did, I would get heat right back from some of my fellow posters.

I didn't get upset about it. I knew it came with the territory, and that's the way it should be.

IMO, there is nothing wrong with posting respectful criticisms on here. You have to realize that if you do, however, you are almost definitely going to be challenged on it.

Post big or stay at home.

Of course. As I recall we were on opposite sides of the fence then and both gave as good as we got.

I really have to question the OP's motivation for this thread. Seems to be baiting more than the one John Blue locked on him last night.

 

[ulismyman]

Ahhh yes baiting...that is right up there with troll...hate that term as well. What exactly is baiting??? If you say baiting is to get someone to respond to your thread...then yes i am guilty. That us just common sense...why do you start a thread if you dont want others to discuss. I think you guys use the term "baiting" as negative though

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

It's a message board. There is no reason to be hypersensitive about responses to what you post. This isn't the real world. It is entertaiment in a vritual world. Lighten up. Let it go.

if any body takes anything I say serious they have deeper problems then they realize.

I have some friends that are shrinks and I get a Starbucks card for each referral. Let me know.

Baiting is what you just did. It's against board rules. That's why your thread got locked last night on Hawkins not returning to the game. What did John tell you would happen?

 

[kybassfan]

Last cup of Joe I got at Starbucks was pricey. You better count that as ordinary income.

 

[ulismyman]

You look at baiting differently than i do...i post threads to get others opinions...if that is a bad thing then why are we here??? As far as John Blue is concerned...i will refrain

 

[ulismyman]

Deplion i am right there with you on Tubby...i vented so nuch on him and Joe Crawford and Randolph Morris...i lived in the penalty box

 

[kybassfan]

Don't matter how you look at it. It is against board rules.

 

[BlueBarry]

From one "troll" to another, pay them no mind. It doesn't hurt at all to be realistic and look at this team with open eyes. Keep on postin.

 

[Blueaz]

If you want other opinions. Wtf are u bitching about?
I have an 8 year old. He doesn't know when to shut up. He is 8, that is what he does
No offense, but you act like my 8 year old...you don't know when to stop.
You're say your not baiting, but want other opinions. when the other opinions aren't in agreement with yours, everyone else is just picking on you. Or they are homers.
Then you pick a fight about not being able to post differently and you get attacked...
It just goes on and on.
Just stop...don't act like an 8 year old.

 

[BBBLazing]

I only read OP, but I think that anyone that requests a moderator to ban or discipline anyone should be banned for requesting it. That makes you a (for fear of being banned) a female dog. Supposedly, if you are out of line, the moderators correct that. They don't need help from the cry babies that don't like people disagreeing with them on a forum designed for disagreement.

Guys like you make it hard. Unless I'm different than everyone else, I couldn't care less about your "likes". BTW, I've gotten plenty of likes, but I'm really tired of you guys that act like you own the place.

They have ignore buttons for whiners like you use it, make my day, you sound like the OP are you kin?

 

[BBBLazing]

Ignore me. I enjoy the nonsense most of you espouse. Most conversations are enjoyable, this one has quit being so. I'm out. You all need to get over yourselves. It is a game with kids the age of my grandkids.

Uh, you and your son (more son) continued a huge thread attacking me (I attacked back),personal messages, and emails to me (even tried a virus lol) all over saying false to your claims because I didn't believe or trusted what you/he said.

If you're going to give it to Op, at least practice what you preach.

To be fair, you weren't as zealous as him, but you jumped into the situation.

 

[martinsm30]

I am going to lock this thread. If you want to discuss non basketball issues please use the Paddock. If there is a poster violating the board rules use the report button. If you simply can no longer communicate with someone there is an ignore button. If there is something you feel you need to discuss with a mod our email address is in our tag lines.
