So you’re mad because I unspecifically told anonymous toxic posters we don’t want them...which is exactly what they’re doing to our players and staff.
We’re reaching levels of butthurt and hypocrisy that shouldn’t be possible.
Wish people would quit dragging up threads

These threads should have been brought up right after winning the SECT. But you also notice some of the more butt-hurt ones are saying that we STILL haven't done anything good. So they're doubling down. It's doing nothing but proving the point of those who necroed the threads.
Which is the exact reason you should be fine with bringing up old threads. Or are you fine with policing just those people?
Where did I say it shouldn't be allowed?
I said anyone engaging in UK fan purity tests is a DB.
Wall Knight Teague is okay with calling people out. And he’s okay with calling people out for calling people out for calling people out. But he is most definitely NOT okay with calling people out for calling people out.
It’s perfectly logical.
Personally I think if someone wants to, do it. But lets not pretend that the other side of the coin couldn't be done the same. Just because one group projects their position as being wrong in a "positive" way, doesn't mean they are right. And really it's nothing more than a form of apathy because the "negative" side probably just cares more. I think it makes our program strong. They are far more important to the demanding nature of the job, which results in hardware if you continue the logic over time.
I hate everyone, I hate people, I hate happy go lucky positive people, I hate paranoid depressives.
Just call it in time and let it go, if someone says the team is garbage after a 4 game losing streak? They are.
If they say they will never recover, call'm later. If someone says they will get better and they don't, call them too.
Just call everyone everything and lets be 3rd graders, then demand strict gun control.
Can we all just agree to disagree? If you want to dig up old threads do it. If you don't like it don't do it. Shit posters will continue to make shit-posts either way. Most of us are UK fans, even those that have swore off the team forever. The people who make those threads are probably just as passionate as any other fans, that's probably why they made the post to begin with. At the same time I do like laughing at them for it.
My rules are:
1)I try to never make it personal when discussing a player or a coach. They all want what we do, to win.
2)It is okay to yell at my TV, question the actions of the coaches or players. If a player does not appear to be giving 100%, it is fair to say so. We had some real sleepwalking going on during the 4 game skid. It is okay to question recruiting and/or coaching decisions. I may not know as much as the coaches but this is sports, I have the right to my uninformed opinion.
3)In the event that I am proven wrong about a player or team, I am always thankful that I was wrong. I never take joy in anyone's failure just because it proves me right.
4)My foresight will never be as good as your hindsight. I don't trust people with blind faith in anything (except their God).

Anyone can bring up old threads if they want in my opinion. Why not? It’s not like anyone is forced to click on it when it appears. There are many threads I don’t even open on a daily basis on here. If someone wants to call someone out for something, have at it. It’s better than viewing 100 threads saying we can’t overlook this team or will Vanderbilt play. That gets boring after a while.
Also, while we're on it, as a former college athlete, I LOVED harsh over the top criticism. because the further they went with their negative tone, the easier it was for me to overcome it.
Athletes love insane fans. It brings interest to the games, and it makes them work harder. Cal loves it too when he's performing, don't let him fool you. He likes that people are that interested, and then allow him great bulletin board material.
If fans are being crazy and demanding, casting negative criticisms and going overboard, then shut them up.
Welcome to American athletics, it appears new to some of you.

Or "we moved up 6 spots on KenPom" or "latest bracketology" one month in advance.
This thread is entertainment. Couldn't have happened if some of us didn't go straight negative.
I have never understood the logic in RR keeping archive posts. No good comes of it, except it generates 'argument-posts' between users. Do they really need the traffic?
Ten or fifteen years ago there was a guy who was using a 'way back' program to attack any poster who disagreed with him. It just caused a lot of anger between posters and some nasty personal fights.
Everyone is wrong sometimes. Everyone who takes a firm position on anything should develop a taste for crow. But that doesn't mean there should be a 'shove it down their throats' option.

Huh? I think you may be educated beyond your intelligence. (Not sure, but you may be.) That was a type-fest but not fully coherent (To me anyway.)
I was speaking to another person in any event. If you want to read of course, read away. If I mentioned you, who knows, maybe I did if you are one of the perpetrators (Good or Bad). If so did it hurt? Good. (I remember your screen name but not sure how I remember it, in a good or bad way. You either don't post much or you may be so wishy washy it doesn't matter. To me anyway.)
Posters on this site know each other by their persona and their history of posts (At least that is how I do it.). Some more than others but you enjoy your day.

The Voice Of Reason Award To You. You're an example of one who thinks their thoughts out, before they speak them out.

It is entertainment. How many damn times can you or I say same old bs leading up to games? Isn’t this exact thread what adds spice to the discussion? I mean if you get butthurt over someone referencing a post you made, how the hell do you function in the real world?
So you labeling someone you do not know as “garbage” is different than that person saying Diallo is pathetic? You value yourself more than you are actually worth.
If the shoe were on the other foot, there would be a lots of spewing by those that made the posts and calling the others sunshine pumpers. Fair game as far as I'm concerned.
You could probably find folks who would agree with you on the first part,that's why I stick to basketball and comedy on the board. You are correct for the most part, no one has any idea who anyone really is on the board(except for the few I know personally) even if they post what they do or where they are from we don't know if that is the truth or not.
Posters may reveal more about themselves than they realize because they get caught up in their emotional attachment to UK basketball teams.Some post with the intent of stirring up conflict or controversy,others post what they really think or feel.I never try to figure out which is which because I don't really care.
They offered her less money than the men. She is protesting...
Dear God no
I was a chat room host on the old AOL GrandStand College hoops chat. That was bad enough: this would make me insane
It's a weird phenomenon. Some of these same posters hate the rich, consider themselves the "99%" no doubt, but when you're talking about born millionaires and aspiring pro's who don't give two damns about them, they want them to have it all.
I wonder why?
I have my moments, as do we all. I don’t always keep my thoughts to myself during game threads

Saving humanity by "publicly" calling out one at a time
Yeah but you're always so nice before you slice and dice...
Not yet,
If you become outraged at fans calling the situation in the moment and consider mean tweets and post as "crossing the line", you might have helped make America and younger generations what they are today, soft as a baby's ass.
Yeah, believe it or not I also pass judgment on child molesters and neo-Nazis I don’t personally know. People tell you a lot about themselves with their words and actions. And I’m comfortable alleging that posters who rush headlong into trashing the things they claim to love the very instant those things fail to please them are probably not great people in real life.
I don't think anyone is outraged, it's been more fun than anything.
I very much like who you appear to be thru your posts, but you could be a serial killer for all I know.Like Doc said to Creek Johnson who had lot's of friends " I don't.And i thought you liked me Doc. Dang
Now, now Mortouchysky, that fall's on your generation as much if not more. Control thy-self brother keep it impersonal and all is good. It's not "It's all good" that crap reeks. Get personal with a poster/player/coach/fan/whatever you do not know and it is too far either way.
It's your definition of soft that may be warped. (Other words too.) Many definitions of words are now skewed...why?
