Props to Gunny cause it appears that he was the only one who actually read through the posts.. Welcome to Nashville by the way. Stay away from the catfish and don’t miss out on the Mexican restaurants in Town.

That statement almost would have carried its intended weight if I hadn’t had said the following:

Yet apparently that quote went unread as my instincts tell me you wouldn’t had made those posts should you had read that.

Consequently, structuring your arguments on a frail foundation carries less weight than an empty Wal-Mart bag.

 

Jeeeez RollTide!!!! Are u still going on about that..
Its bad enough i can't stand seeing that guy play us two times a season, why would i would vote him to the Aloha State.. Heck no. Whatever serious or non-serious pro-list i make up, his name won't be in there.

Payton will be in town in a couple of days so if you like him so much bow up your hair, grab your favourite pom poms glitter up and go cheer for him.

just don't ask us to do the same..

 

GT.. You’re absolutely right about one thing; members should be able to provide their feedback to any given subject without fear of reprisal in the sense of being attacked/mocked/etc. Furthermore, members should feel free to post threads without the constant worry of being attacked with unwarranted cheap shots such as taunts and unnecessary name calling.

It is absolutely acceptable when a member provides his criticism to a particular post. Nonetheless, when a member throws in a few brutal ‘below the belt’ punches with it intended at attacking another member as a person, the assaulting member shouldn’t be surprised when the subject of his provoked mockery responds with a knockout blow.

Mixing up fact with fiction tends to get me worked up more than anything, especially when it comes from the fingertips of a member who chooses to pick and separate comments as he likes in order to strengthen his argument. GT, you explained that you had read this complete thread, yet I remain mystified as to the order of which it had been read.

Kindly explain if you started reading from the last post and then read all the way up to the first. The reason I’m puzzled is because you said:

And again:

Now here’s the fun part. Locating the combination of your comments to dwindle the bricks of your fortified position was not difficult at all.

Did you fail to read the title of RollTide’s initial post:

Ouch….
Or how about this cheap shot:

Now if the words “clueless” and “unknowledgeable fans” were not direct and personal attacks at another member, I wonder what is. Should I roll down my sleeves and wait for censored-out words to precede or follow my name prior to responding? Don’t blame me for taking that direct ridicule as a personal attack. You or any other member would have done so too.

Uh-oh… you forgot about that right?

Its not that I need a dictionary to interpret words from other member’s posts; I am however convinced that you might need one in order to choose your words more shrewdly in future posts.

MOCK
–verb (used with object)
1. to attack or treat with ridicule, contempt, or derision.
2. to ridicule by mimicry of action or speech; mimic derisively.
3. to mimic, imitate, or counterfeit.
4. to deceive, delude, or disappoint.

–verb (used without object)
6. to use ridicule or derision; scoff; jeer (often fol. by at).

So I’m left wondering if your verb was used with an object or without, because either way I look at it, your first post was indeed a personal attack, and your final post was nothing less than sheer apologetic hypocrisy.

Now if you would have primarily altered that sentence to read “pitbull’s post”, instead of “pitbull” as an individual, I wouldn’t have brought that up and we would instead be quoting each others posts in a more sociable thread such as why Vince Young deserves the MVP player of the week award..

The mockery was never directed at you; it was in fact you who initially provoked it by mocking others.

Oh, and I’m sorry too. I also ‘just don’t like’ it when people hide behind discussion boards to deliver unpleasant deliberate attacks at other members on a personal level instead of taking the time to discuss the actual issue which they initially entered the thread to discuss.
