Well here I am again fellas! I included a photo of my UM degree in my ban appeal. Not sure if anyone was able to read it. I am assuming the doubt associated with the legitimacy of my account resulted in this ban. Do you guys truly believe I am USC19 or whatever troll you thought I was the first time this happened? And you think I am this troll because I was not familiar with the Iron Arrow Honor Society? Am I doing something else wrong? I just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row.
Well I suppose maybe I’m ignorant for not being familiar with this Honor Society. I was never a part of it. I was a B student while attending the University of Miami. I saw a dude praising FSU and he had the word “Arrow” in his username, so I assumed he was a Nole fan. The thought of this Honor Society never crossed my mind. After googling this institution, I do recognize the big multi-color jackets. Never really knew or cared to know what all this stuff was about. School was never really my thing if I’m being completely honest. I went to UM to get my degree and get out as soon as possible. Not sure if it’s worth mentioning, but there’s an article about The University removing its affiliation with this very honor society.
What I find the most odd, is my BigDaddyCane account has 100 something messages at this point. There are so many messages, including messages here, that prove the following:
1. I am a University of Miami alumni and fan. I have not put the University down in any way, shape, or form other than some criticism directed at the current coaching staff, which I don’t believe to be as critical as several other members here. There’s plenty of criticism from other members, many more harsh than me. I provided a whole timeline of facility upgrades at the Hecht under the name “Canes Guy” in this very thread. How would a non-student know the details I provided? Do I have to name names of people who were there when I was? As a Kinesiology major, I used to do lab work with athletes at The Hecht and regularly saw Andrew Swasey (The Head of S&C) working out the football team all the time.
2. Look at all the other threads I’ve posted/contributed in. There was one about talent last month when the draft was going on. I made several posts and comments about recent players there. There’s a Nike thread where I talked about uniforms. Even in the thread where I goofed on the Arrow society, there are several comments and replies from myself and general discussion about where UM stands in conference realignment. I asked if one of these conferences was actually interested in adding UM and everyone took it as I was claiming The U wasn’t worthy enough which is not at all what I meant. These same people were liking and replying to my comments in the same thread earlier. Do people just not remember? Or do people genuinely enjoy forming a mob mentality when someone says something they might disagree with or take out of context?
Like I’ve said, I’m more than happy to post a photo of my degree, although I’ve already seen folks ready to dismiss it as fake based on 0 evidence, so I guess maybe that won’t be enough. I’m sure I can find a photo of Donna handing me the **** thing. Would this be enough? I don’t know. I’ve got to admit, I’m a member of a lot of different types of forums from Canes football to guitars and cars, never have I ever been dealt with anything like this. I’ve been called a troll, but where in the conference realignment thread did I post something to troll or purposefully incite anger?? Even the dude who I was disagreeing with, I told him I agree with some of his points, just not all of them. Telling someone they agree on something doesn’t seem like a tactic a troll would use to **** people off.
I’m a member over at State of The U and posted there for a long time using the same name BigDaddyCane44. Don’t know if any of you mods use the site, but I’ve been posting there for years. I wanted to switch over to this site because SOTU doesn’t post the same amount of content as they used to. It’s basically dead. A dude in the conference realignment thread, Atlas Atoms? I’m 100% positive he was/or is a member of SOTU. I think his name used to be SBERG. Doubt he remembers me posting there, and I don’t know him personally, just that he was on there too for awhile.
So yep, all I wanted to do was to come here and talk about Canes football. That’s all I’ve really done. I don’t think any of my posts constitute as trolling or break any rules. I offer praise for Mario where it’s due while sometimes being critical while acknowledging what other programs are doing to succeed. It seems fair to me, but I’m constantly being accused of “hating UM and being a troll”. I have not used any derogatory language or disrespected another member. People have said nasty things to me and I’ve mostly just ignored it. If you would please explain to me how I’m trolling so I can actually understand and get better, it would be appreciated. I’d love to continue my membership to this site and upgrade to Premium so I have a place for Canes football.
