So before I start I should say that I hate this board. I joined last year and after a few months couldn't stand it. For some reason the people on this board don't understand irony or sarcasm in any way. And once they form an opinion on something, they are either incapable or just too stubborn to listen to an opposing argument.
I remember one time there was a thread discussing who the best WR in the NFL was, and I listed something like 1. Andre Johnson, 2. Calvin Johnson, 3. William Franklin, 4. Justin Gage, 5. Brad Smith. Now to anyone with a brain I was obviously being sarcastic and listing three Tigers' players since I am a huge fan. But apparently nobody has a brain here because everyone freaked. Four different people put negative points on my reputation arguing that Housh, and Fitz, and Moss were sooo much better than Gage and Franklin, and even though I don't care at all about reputation points I thought it was really sad that they could be so offended by a joke.
And then in a discussion about Bulger where everyone was saying if he could just get some protection he would be a top QB again. I simply said, "The only times he has done well is when he has been sacked over 40 times." It was completely true, I just found it ironic. Yet one guy flipped a sh!t over me saying that. He apparently thought I was saying that Bulger can only do good when he is getting sacked and he claimed I had no knowledge about football, and had never watched a game. Of course I knew this guy was an idiot, but for some reason I get an official warning from the AvengerRam guy saying it was "Completely uncalled for" for me to defend myself after he said all that about me. He also said that I just have to know when to stop as if my argument was terrible and that the other guy was 100% right. Now this might have been because from what I saw Avenger Ram is one of those people I was talking about earlier that will not listen to any opposing arguments (especially if anyone says anything bad about Bulger). But that just pissed me off so I never came back to this board until now.
Bulger and the Rams terrible play today just reminded me about how much I hate this board and I thought I would come here just to vent.
I know what everyone is gonna say, but I don't really care, because after this thread there is a good chance I won't be back again.
