Damn! Now we have to discuss sports in the sports forum?

[joeybee12]

Is there no end to the tyranny?????

[madinmaryland]

1. Well, that should elimate most of

cboy's posts.

[Condem]

2. That could of gotten very ugly, joey.

Nice job, redbear.

[madinmaryland]

6. Like this forum is not already ugly?

They could shut down half the threads in the forum. Just look for any thread with more than 50 replies, and guaranteed there is an ugly flamefest or worse going on.

[Condem]

8. You put who's popular and who's not to a secret vote, mad.....

...In my opinion you're asking for trouble. It's one thing to do it out in the open. But to do it behind someone's back is altogether different.

[madinmaryland]

9. Huh?

Are you responding to me?

[Condem]

10. Responding to your response to me.

[madinmaryland]

11. Just a little confused about your response to me.

That's all.

[Condem]

12. My point is this. Once, Once got his donation star (and he did-nice gesture 1goblue)...

he could put it to an actual poll. Then folks can vote with total disregard how someone feels. Say in this secret poll you were far and away voted the most annoying. How would you feel? It's all fun when it's out in the open. Once you can vote without anybody knowing. something sinister could begin. Then you got someone, or more than someone , feeling pretty shitty. That's all.

[MrSlayer]

39. If your feelings get hurt on an internet site then you might just be a wee too sensitive.

Seriously. This forum is looser with the rules and it should be. Sports fans love to bust balls and talk trash, ripping each other is half the fun. Guys being guys and all that.

[Condem]

40. If I drew you a storyboard, Mr Slayer, you wouldn't get my point.

Don't you hang in the Lounge? Why don't you hustle back there before I light you up like A fucking Christmas tree.

[MrSlayer]

41. Bring it on.

I hang everywhere on this site. Just be prepared to take as good as you give.

[Condem]

42. Love that, MrSlayer

Hey. There's an Appreciation thread you're wanted in over in El Loungo. See ya, man!

[MrSlayer]

44. This had better not be the best you've got.

I was prepared to be underwhelmed but this is pathetic. Come on man, light me up.

[Condem]

47. Give me something to work with.

I'm dashing in and out here. Dead mother, you see.

[MrSlayer]

48. You're the one who's going to light me up and I have to provide the material for you?

This is the worst flame war I've ever been involved in. Dude, just skip it.

[Condem]

49. Jesus, MrSlayer.

This is how you get your ya-ya's out? Who's fucking pathetic?

[MrSlayer]

51. I'm not the one who claimed he wanted to get into it.

Or did you think I was just going to run back to the lounge after your initial insult? I don't get my ya-ya's out (great live album by the way) on internet flaming but I will play the game if invited. I figured we would have some fun with it. If you didn't want to play why did you bother talking shit?

[Condem]

53. We'll talk about sports, MrSlayer.

Being an exhibition game, tonight, and the lateness of the hour grows, I'll be more than happy to continue this amicable conversation over a bottle of your favorite (and,mine) on say, perhaps a Saturday night where it doesn't affect my athletic performance the following day. Kapisch? And yes, Get your Ya-Ya's out is a good, not great album. Never liked the Stones live.

[MrSlayer]

54. Good enough.

It's always better to be there for the show and in the right frame of mind for the Stones. Perhaps I did overrate Ya-Yas, Still Life is probably their best live album. Good luck in your athletic endeavor.

[Condem]

56. My man.

Look forward to it. Have a good tomorrow. I enjoy the flaming as much as you. Gotta have some time to do it , though.

[madinmaryland]

43. You gonna send me back to the lounge too?

:wtf:

[MrSlayer]

46. You better watch your step MIM. You might be the next to get "lit up".

He's a very scary man.

[madinmaryland]

50. Condoms are scary?

:wtf:

[MrSlayer]

52. In certain circumstances they could be.

No razors on this one though.

:toast:

[madinmaryland]

55. Heh!

:toast:

[TZ]

16. I agree but

get ready to be called rat and fink and crybaby and worse for that opinion. Thats the way I was treated when I thought things got too ugly around here awhile back..:eyes:

[Condem]

27. That's the gist of my point, TZ.

They'd have say it to my face (well,sorta), where I can respond. Not too different fron the Bradley Effect in voting. Remember that?

[madinmaryland]

28. By TWO people, only.

[1gobluedem]

36. I have to admit, I didn't see it that way

I just looked at it as another form of the trash talking that goes on here -- mostly all in fun. I didn't mean to contribute to anything ugly.

[Scurrilous]

3. It's Orwellian!!1! n/t

[LisaM]

4. Then how are we going to track road attendance?

And other things not related to the actual events on the field?

[madinmaryland]

5. You will have to PM the twins to get that information.

:shrug:

[cboy4]

31. Don't worry .. the attendance talk isn't going away any time soon

Speaking of things going away soon...

Let's hope for a Lions-free Thanksgiving one of these years. :thumbsup:

[LisaM]

38. Oh come now - last year's game was Lions free

So what more could you ask for?

[inthebrain]

7. Do we have a rat in out midst?

The last refuge where you can bust balls and have a few laughs on DU is this sports forum.

[RockaFowler]

13. What did I miss??

:shrug:

[joeybee12]

15. See the locked thread and why it was locked...

...amazing that someone would consider the sports forum a place to discuss sports! Up really is down.

[RockaFowler]

18. I see it now

I went to lunch and poof!! it was gone. I was reading it before lunch, too

[JonLP24]

29. Oh wow a locked thread that must be a first

I thought for sure all rules were thrown out in this forum. I see the Upton poll is still going and that is borderline call-out.

I know if someone posted a poll in GD or maybe even the lounge asking is so-and-so a hypocrite and post previous posts that would probably be locked. Not only that, the thread slightly has anything to do with sports but mostly about Upton.

[Forkboy]

30. Borderline?

:D

[JonLP24]

32. lol

I guess it's a full blown call out. :D

[inthebrain]

33. This is probably the only section of this board I post on now adays

The rest of it is a little too childish for my tastes.

As much as things get a little flamey here at least some discussions take place as well. And not all parties go running to the mods trying to get a thread shit down cause they dissagree with it.

I'd rather people just be themselves without fear of getting kicked out of here, suspended or their threads locked.

I'd rather leave that to the babies who posts in GD and GDP trying to play keyboard warriors and pseudo mods.

[JonLP24]

34. I agree with you and I'll add

This is the only forum where I don't get p'd off. Sure the language and stuff is cleaned out at other forums but I read certain opinions that make me upset but here in the Sports forum everyone here has a different opinion then I do but it's all good fun. All I do is laugh here and slowly the Sports forum is becoming my only forum.

[Upton]

45. I agree with you too inthebrain

very well said..

[Onceuponalife]

58. The rest of the board is too childish??

:wtf:

This from the guy who posts "The Giants are contenders!!!!1!1!1!!!!!!1" over and over?

[inthebrain]

59. I find it funy that even UPTON of all people agrees with me on that.

Yeah, what goes on on the rest of the board is a lot of backstabbing, troll posseing and complaining about practicly EVERY SINGLE THING THAT POSTED.

And yeah, although I am just having my fun with Cboy and Upton, it is childish. I can admit that.

Try getting even that much of a confession out of the posters in GD and GDP.

Were you even around for some of the stupid games that were played here during the primaries? I was getting stalked (I ain't exagerating there) by a group of posters to other message boards who took to posting my stuff here to rat me to the mods.

Yeah, shit like that.

We go back and forth here but I think for the most part we know it's stupid.

[joeybee12]

14. Keep going people...c'mon we're gonna get locked, so post quickly!

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

17. The Red Sox are second only to the Yanks

in hated baseball team....Gotta get my shots in while I can..

[madinmaryland]

19. The Dallas Cowboys ARE America's Team!

[joeybee12]

20. If you rooted for a real baseball team, people might hate them instead of

saying, "Who?"

[KamaAina]

21. Seen any synchronized swimming lately?

Damn, those Uzbeks are da bomb!!! :sarcasm:

[joeybee12]

35. Yeah, I did...

...1984...none since.

[KamaAina]

22. self-delete

posted twice

[madinmaryland]

23. Well, I guess that depends on the definition of a REAL sport is!

We have made calling out each other a sport here!!

[joeybee12]

24. Yeah, we especially call out people who have the gall to root for

the cowpies!

[madinmaryland]

25. I find it real gulling that some people are trying to usurp the Dallas Cowboys'

claim as America's Team!

:D

[joeybee12]

26. Hell, they lost the rights to those claims years ago...

...the reasons are numerous...as you WELL know.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. They Never Had The Claim

And, no, Ed Sabol did not come up with that. Tex did and went to Sabol, who went to Roselle. Ask Ed's kid. That's exactly how he tells it.

[Onceuponalife]

57. I think Redbear wins my non-poll?

:wtf:

[joeybee12]

60. Kick!
