Let's all insult each other over football.

I respond to a lot of posts. I love the Panhters, and I love talking about them. I usually try to avoid insults, but if they come, it's usually "heat of the moment." I respect the vast majority of posters here and I'm not under any illusion that my opinion is necessarily the right one. I just like to share it.

Any forum will have insults. This one has been getting worse, but part of that is because the team is pretty bad, and our QB situation is awful. So, people who prefer one thing about the team to the other slug it out(trade so and so or not; moore or clausen; JR good vs bad). Ultimately, neither side really has a great argument. Both can be picked apart, so that leads to posters getting frustrated with each other when they can't really deal with it well, so kaboom.

I think it has to do with age. I'm 35 and am growing tired of arguing on a message board. Not only is it a waste of energy (as you'll never win a debate), but it's pretty pathetic. But I imagine a younger dude, maybe 18 to his mid-twenties, is still full of that that male ego infused, I Have To Be Right attitude. He's the one that can't let things go, is quick to insult, always thinks he's right, and simply must feel superior.

I've learned the best way to handle this forum (though I don't always do it), is to have your say in a thread, then never return to it because you know the debate will drag on for days and days and days. I also agree that it's a shame we're arguing and insulting one another over our OWN team.

I'm 22 and I posted this thread kthanx

edit: nothing to do with age, everything to do with attitude, which spans age unobtrusively

I'll admit, I've made some negative responses to threads. They are all generally in jest however. I don't think I've ever called anyone stupid or directly insulted anyone.

I think it's just an overall symptom of the internet. People say things that they wouldn't normally say face to face. A lot of people troll and don't realize they are trolling also, they are just trying to get a response. It's just to tempting, it's like tickling your GF after she tells you not to tickle her, you just have too.

thank you for putting it all in perspective.

I do believe calling you a 'cotton headed ninny muggin' is in order.

You don't have to reply, you know. During down times like this, which we normally experience in May-June, and there's nothing really new to talk about, don't talk. I pop on to see if there's anything interesting, see that there isn't, and leave. It's as simple as that. No one is forcing anyone to read and/or contribute to a discussion. If you don't like the topic, don't read it.

I agree. with all this crap lately going on with our qbs and stupid rumor threads its almost obnoxious to come in here.

normally the day of a game (i haven't been a member here yet for a day of a game where we win), but after the game, I usually wont come on here until Monday to let things cool off a bit and for the nay saying jackasses to give their 2 cents which I don't care about b/c its normally some sort of bitching and moaning and then disappear again.

And yet you trolled my Panther's support thread.

I wouldnt define this as trolling. If I was trolling, I would just say a whole bunch of stuff to piss you off. Let me know if you want that.

Can we get back to the girl on girl porn? I don't have much time left with an empty office....
