Two things....I can't imagine a world where I care enough about some strangers feelings on ANY topic to actually DM them. That seriously cracks me up people would do that. Jokes on them though, I don't ever check DMs on here unless I've posted in the Tix for sale area. lol

Next, while there's plenty I roll my eyes about posted here (on both sides of the coin), I've never let it cloud my feelings or judgments or responses on the sports side of things. We're all Pack fans so while we don't agree on a lot of things in the world, we all love the Pack so there's common ground even among the most left or right people here. I think there's something cool about that personally.

In general, I agree with you…. That said, the way people talk to others in the sports forums doesn't sound like "we're all Pack fans" to me.

There's a few of them who seemingly use the forums to serve their psychological need to feel superior to others.

I think that's a great idea - the animosity from this board transfers to the sports board.

Very much my point….the WC is a lightning rod, and that's a good thing.

Meh, that whole line of thinking just comes across like a childish threat:

If the rules clearly state no politics on the sports boards, then the mods are perfectly capable of giving anyone who decides to go on a political rant a "break" if they need it. The only other sports sites I've regularly visited didn't even have political boards... it was understood talking politics was verboten.

Smarpty. He is also the one that actually has posted politics in the middle of a sports board thread... at least twice I've seen him do it now.

I don't really care though, because I have him on ignore. Only have to read his posts when he gets quoted.


Right now the most annoying tit for tat feud on the sports boards absolutely has to be the 2001 / ICW poster and AnaeAnae. 2001 is a complete idiot no doubt, but AnaeAnae is drawn like a moth to a flame to everything he posts... he's been asked countless times to put the other guy on ignore, but he just can't bring himself to do so for some reason, which actually makes him more annoying than the idiot himself... and then 17 has to jump into the conversation and quotes both of them. The three of them all ruined another thread just the other night in fact.

Lol yep.

Yeah it's every dang thread with those 2 and Anae is every bit as annoying as 2001 and might actually be worse.

Well, I don't want to actually name people, it's kind of rude. To be honest, I was thinking of a few posters on the sports boards that never post here.

I really never thought 2001 was all that bad, if even if I never understood what he was saying half the time.

I actually agree, to me Anae is way more annoying. I have him on ignore but everyone always quotes him so I still see it all.

As usual, I'm struggling to find your point.

Ok, now lets do you!

No, that's a very fair point. There's a handful of posters on the sports side that either a) I ignore or b) they're very condescending and/or want to feel intellectually superior and by doing so come across as ****** nozzles. Then you have probably the 4 or 5 posters who incessantly argue back and forth with each other and derails what feels like every thread there. To me, those people should be dealt with more so than the water cooler where it's contained to basically an echo chamber.

He is more annoying only because he doesn't know when to shut the f up, but 2001 / ICW is definitely on here only to troll... and he initially trolled both James and gravis before he found his secret admirer in AA. They are both equally as bad as the other as to what they do to the readability of these boards.

I have them both on ignore, but AA has to chime in on every thread acting like a toolbox. He has multiple arguments every day. Maybe the other dude does too and I don't see it, but AA clearly never goes outside.

Neither…I'll go with 65Pack. There is no way that's a State fan. He only shows up after a loss to bash the pack or the coaches. After a win, he's nowhere to be found.

If he is a State fan, he is one miserable person.
