T-Dub Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sure as day follows night, or maybe more like an explosive toxic morning shit follows a night of drinking & cheese coneys. Being predictable doesn't make it any more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I knew Bung was making a joke. Nothing to see here. I think the running joke should be the few people who get really upset when people complain about every thread turning into a lizard people/GODdell/Patriots/NFLfavorites argument. It's just goofball shit that doesn't need to be interjected into every conversation. Or maybe the people who get really triggered anytime someone says conspiracy theory. Which word or phrase would you like us to use so you don't get so upset about this? I would happily use your preferred terminology as long as it's suitable. Don't give me the "it's not a conspiracy because I know it's TRUE!!!1!!1!1!" bullshit either. Before you start crying about the couple of times I've brought it up myself - it was alright mentioned by the conspiracy theorists (plz don't get mad) earlier in the thread, and the other time it was 100% relevant to the thread that was talking about Burfict's suspension. FWIW I don't mind people talking about NFL conspiracy shit when it makes sense to bring up, it just gets old when you can't talk to some people without it being brought up in every discussion.

That's a valid answer although I'm not gonna say it's his sole purpose. Tdub talks a lot about the games a lot in a real sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I love that you're legitimately passionate about the NFL and whether a bunch of people call you a troll or not, you generate more legitimate football discussion than most people for sure. With that said, you seem to take pride in pointing out how dumb Bengals fans are on a pretty frequent basis. I've seen your "fans are dumb because they said Justin Smith sucked" example like 100 times posting on various boards with you, you gotta let it go at some point. Just because 3 random dudes from Bengals.com posted something 6 years ago that said that Smith sucked doesn't mean that we're a bunch of dumbasses. To your point, most NFL fans in general ARE idiots, but I think most guys that spend the time to post on boards like this are at least somewhat above the average Facebook comment shitposter. 20 minutes ago, schotzee said: That's a valid answer although I'm not gonna say it's his sole purpose.

He definitely does and I actually like ol' T-Dub myself, we just seem to butt heads on a couple of issues and unfortunately we both carry it over to other topics sometimes. He seems like a good dude though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked scharm as well. It's kind of easy for me to overlook occasional irritating posts from people w/o arguing or blocking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of easy for me to overlook occasional irritating posts from people w/o arguing or blocking them. I have a total of 0 people on my ignore list on any board and I've been posting on message boards (not just Bengals but tons of other hobbies as well) for 15 or so years now, pretty much since message boards became a thing. I never saw the need to use it. The legitimate trolls tend to get run out or banned from any reputable site and even if someone posts a bunch of dumb shit, I assume they'll post something eventually that I want to engage them about. I don't see the point of the ignore list as it would make conversations tough to read at times with a lot of people not always using the quote feature when they're replying in a conversation.

Review who was making a joke and who had a multiple-paragraph meltdown over it and then get back to me on this "snowflake" stuff. Or don't, it's really not that important.

Tdub talks a lot about the games a lot in a real sense. LOL dude said my sole purpose is mocking "all of us"? I don't have him blocked but I admit I was skimming. Someone sounds, dare I say, triggered? I'd imagine I could count the number of people who believe in the NFL's integrity on one hand so it's barely an "us". Again with the cheap internet forum tactics, positioning himself as the defender of the collective.. Take that weak shit back to Reddit or wherever it works. I'm assuming you meant a "valid question" so I thought I'd answer & that's why I quoted you instead. Pretty simple really; the shadiness doesn't make the action any less real. It's like the WWE (in many other ways) - even if the outcome is determined, and I think I've called it more like tweaked or influenced anyway, still some dude choke-slamming another dude through a table, or in this case trying to block Atkins 1 on 1, is entertaining. The pro wrestling "kayfabe" philosophy is really interesting IMO & helpful for understanding any media-driven organization, not just the NFL.

Or don't, it's really not that important. You obviously get super bent out of shape when people call things a "conspiracy theory", but what else are we supposed to call them if we firmly believe they're not true? Just sayin'. Until you can come up with a phrase that we can agree makes sense, I'm going to call them the title that I feel they deserve. It's unfortunate that you typically shift focus to me saying "conspiracy" rather than proving me wrong. But whatever. I tried to poke a little fun but I believe I had some legitimate points and questions in my last post. If you just want to ignore it all and be a dick about it, then that's fine too I guess, not much else I can do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man you can call it "Kevin" if it makes you feel better, I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it. The last time I tried to have an honest conversation on the topic, I asked a very simple question: Why has Mike Mitchell never been suspended? All I got by way of an answer was deflection & the usual accusations of whining etc etc so I dropped it. I think anyone buying Goodell's "integrity" grandstanding is naive, you think anyone doubting it is a Flat-Earther; it's whatever. Just saying that your attempt to portray me as being overly-emotional about it comes off as projecting, at best. If you really think that's all I post about just put me on ignore and get on with your day. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
