GDT Rattlers vs World Champs, 8/3

[calsnowskier]

which one of you guys is nolan nonsense jr?

I was thinking it must be Tidrow...

 

[Robotech]

His post count is south 1000, so he is scum and he is not worthy of sullying our GDTs...

Hey, hey, I'm south of a 1000, too. I'll get there soon enough.

Is there a definite conclusion on whether Nolan is a real Giants fan or not? I though he was a real fan until you guys showed me the light last season and I made the switch from posting on ESPN to posting here. Suddenly it made perfect sense why every post from him is a negative one. I think some have the opinion that he is a real Giants fan who is just really negative. I'm not sure which is sadder between being so negative about your team that every post is a downer or trolling a board all these years when you aren't even a fan of that team. Either way, what a sad, sad person.

There's really no other conclusion.

The crazy thing is that it appears that Nolan does actually watch Giants games. How disturbing is that if he isn't even a fan? I couldn't imagine how boring it would be to watch every game of a team that I am not even a fan of.

That's a good point. But he's curdled his sad identity into the team with such malevolence that he now seems to enjoy 'his' team losing, to prove how 'smart' he is. Then when they do win the World Series, it's 'oh I'm so happy! I'm such a fan, look at my guys win!'

Anything less and it's 'yes, I predicted they would falter and once again I was right'

Basically, he gets off on pissing off others, and he's found a good way to do it.

Purest definition of a douchebag there is.

And like Pavlov's dogs, we hear that bell and we start salivating all over the place, just itching for the right argument to "prove" that Nolan is a nutjob, or deluded, or something. And every time I do that, I come back with my tail between my legs. My moral and intellectual superiority crushed under the weight of Nolan crazy. A friend of mine says, "You can't argue with crazy." But then the bell rings, and I am off again, all slobbery-mouthed.

That's why I am going cold turkey on the Mouse board. Pretty soon, I won't be hearing those bells.

Yep, I did that already. Still lurk occasionally. Without us to (futilely) embarass him, he's literally half of the posts. Also, Marcus clearly snapped and can't bear to post (or got banned again). But even some regulars not among us here have disappeared. Nolan has 'won'.

Fine, he "won".

That just means that that he invaded (and "conquered") Fremont, so we had to retreat, and settled on Santa Cruz instead.

In the end, who is the real winner?

Exactly...that's why we're putting 'won' in quotes. He was and is a giant douche, and eventually everyone got tired of it and left. Now he has full command of the podium for an audience of 3 or 4.

You can't "win" with a troll without the ability to ban purely argumentative behavior or an "ignore" feature. And ESPN has no incentive to implement either of those. Observe that since Tito showed up at Baggs blog, the post count has easily tripled in the comments section - 2/3 of which are people arguing with or about Tito.

I'm with Cam on this one, time to close the door to ESPN.

I've given up trying to figure out why he does what he does. You're probably right, though. He might be a Giants fan underneath it all, but he is pure troll.

I haven't posted on the ESPN Giants board since April. I do still post on the MLB main board.

Agreed. I'm over it.

I prefer tzill's description of NNonsense as the guy who farts in the elevator.

NNonsense wins a small, enclosed box that smells like shit and I get to enjoy my air.

I don't know what this means, but I like it.

I think she is saying that the hit-n-run is on?

Watch for the pout-heart shape-and hips shake from Flannery the next time the Giants get a runner on.

and just to conclude this thread appropriately ... Vogelstopper!
