New to the board

And some posters are a complete bag of dicks.

Someone has to keep things balanced with all the pussies tossing their panties at Martin Mayhew around here.

See what I mean, FamineGod?

5 days and dozens of posts later, guys like this will find a post and get all butt-hurt about it, even though I didn't come remotely close to singling out any particular poster.

What I've come to realize is that certain posters absolutely, positively, cannot handle being disagreed with at all. If you offer any evidence to the contrary when they post that so-and-so "blows" or is "garbage" they lose their cool and resort to calling you a homer, a kool-aid drinker, or immediately resort to questioning Mayhew's career track record.

It's amusing, really. Most posters you can have a perfectly healthy debate with, no worries at all. Others simply want to trash the organization in order to help with their frustrations, and nobody had better say otherwise- they don't want any facts and or opinions that might disagree. In their eyes the Lions suck as an organization and won't get any better until they start doing EXACTLY what he thinks they should do. If you (like me) are foolish enough to try to engage in any sort of debate with them the result is developing a small herd of passive-aggressive e-stalkers like this who find old posts of yours to comment on after the rest of the board has already moved well beyond that point in the conversation.

I imagine this is all pretty standard message board shit though, and you seem to have plenty of board experience prior to landing here in free agency...

@ FamineGod-

This is a big part of the reason why a particular sub-set of posters like to hurl the "homer" stuff at me, because I'll correct posts that flat-out lie like that one did. My issue is that A.) sometimes I think these people really believe the stuff they're posting, so my hope is that seeing hard facts right in front of them might open their eyes a bit (in this case the defense was not nearly as bad as the guy is trying to make it seem) and B.) certain other posters seek out stats that help support their case that the Lions are a dumpster fire- so if a fib like that goes unchallenged, pretty soon it gets accepted as the truth and suddenly we had the 2nd worst defense in the league last season, rather than a middle-of-the pack unit like in reality.

Which stats are those rankings being taken from? Pts/game? Yds/game?

Shit, missed this one, would have just replied to this that we were 17th/18th...

Anywho, see above, I guess?

tpaulus_2: not a Lion fan, but like FamineGod a Kffl person.

After the Pats I root for the Lions because of my wife's UP connection. She is from Da Soo.

My Mass. plate on my van reads "YOOPER"

Nice van dude

Hefty bag full of dicks. Two of the hard dicks poked a hole in the side so there is a trail of little dicks behind them.

Wrong thread. Christmas wish lists is under general discussion.

This will be the year he puts up incredible numbers. Hes already their best QB of all time although thats not saying much.

Is this his fourth year, or sixth? (Duplicating Year 3 would be good with me.)

I so want to comment on this, but I'm not in the mood for an argument.

Way to go. You crazy bastards scared off another new guy.

Big Blue -- I really wish I was up to arguing right now, but if he actually believes the reason people on here call him a homer is what he posted. It is pointless. It did give me a good laugh though.

I smiled. Didn't actually laugh. But said " You gotta be fucking kidding me..." Under my breath, rolled my eyes, shook my head, then turned my phone off.

What's the point of arguing aboot it, Right?

Ahh, nothin like good buddies who always have your back and... oh wait... never mind... my mistake there.

Suck it up buttercup!


(You kinda set a tone with your first post in this thread.)

 

[tpaulus_2]

Dealing with a particular poster's recent non-stop trolling efforts gets exhausting after a while. My bad if I needed to vent. Didn't realize you'd take such offense at something that wasn't directed at you at all...

 

[broncosmitty]

Be more specific please.

I've never had less optimism for theLions, so, I take every "negative" post as intended towards myself. (I've always been self centered and egotistic, nothing new there.).

We're fans of the NFLs version of TheClippers, there's going to be some anxt.
