Gents let me be abundantly clear: the way to get the wrong kind of attention is to 1) derail threads by attacking posters constantly and 2) make Nole and Gator Tears your contrarian hill to die on. The former is inevitable for some of you (but still not smart, and I’ll get to that), and the latter is so freaking weird I can’t explsin it.
Actually I have a guess at what the latter is. Some of you just love playing the heel so freaking much it overwhelms everything else you do, even whatever affection you have for UM athletics. Some of you are so arrogant (read: insecure) that the slightest whiff of opposition to your opinion is interpreted as a physical assault. It’s very weird, and it ruins threads as much as “actually Taggert ith an innnncredible hire” is in Nole Tears.
This is the zoo we live in. CIS Park Zoo. We know all the animals, the exhibits and the price of admission ($0). What you need to remember is that the rabid animal, the one that doesn’t respond to treatment, that’s the animal that gets put down because he’s a threat to the rest of the animals, and little kids with balloons. The one that doesn’t know his place in the zoo (or thread), the one that can’t get told “I don’t agree with that” without turning into a ***** flinging primate, biting the bars and screeching page after page.
Respect the other animals. Don’t have rabies. Stop making so many people look at these threads with a groan instead of glee.
