You know, for someone who claims to be a nice guy with tons of friends, you sure are a jerk on these boards. Would hope you dont treat people in real life the way you do here. I don't know if you have a case of fearless keyboard warrior or what, but you're basically a continuous asshat to basically anyone who's not drinking your koolaid. You lash out in defense of Hauck at anyone who is remotely critical of him and basically dismiss them as stupid or idiots for not seeing things the way you do. You don't seem to have any objectivity about the state of Griz football and basically seem to think that what ever Hauck thinks is right or has done is basically gospel. You should spend a little more time trying to see the perspective of other posters instead of just giving them a blanket dismissal and telling them they don't understand football. It would go a long ways in actually gaining the respect of people around here instead of just thinking you have it.
It's no claim; it's a fact. Ha. There's an element of keyboard warrior. But, if you look closely and exclude the trolls and other-school poster/trolls, I only tell about a dozen or so people that they are stupid. And I believe they or their posts are. I focus on the posters who have hammered at me, or are jerks, for that stuff. I don't agree with scores of posts and posters, but I like the posters and rarely say anything to them. I've been disagreeing with AZ a lot for a few months, but, for the most part, both of us are fairly respectful. I don't know where he is coming from sometimes, but I like him and he's never jerkish. I often defend the team and the coaches, but I don't lash out at posters who say anything critical about Hauck. You are wrong in your assessment. I go after posters whom I believe are blatantly wrong or unfair, who are just pushing their (untrue) narrative, who are liars, etc. As I have gotten older, I have less time for fools, I admit. I also don't have the patience to baby posters who say stupid things, if I don't like them or they hammer at me. I have confidence in my posts. I often post directly. I don't like trolls and liars, of which there have been many on the board in the past couple months.
It may surprise you, but my goal is to support the team generally and counter incorrect and stupid posts, as well as learn things and have some fun. My goal is not to be respected on a football message board. I really don't care what any poster thinks. I know I have a huge following and even the naysayers and jerks read most of my posts. People know that I often have good information, sometimes inside info. Most people on the board are looking for that, as am I.
I am happy to have a conversation with you on any Griz football topic. I am happy to explain any comment I make. Fire away.
