Removing the franchise tag from Julius Peppers is the best option.

ehhh...you learn what threads to avoid taking part in.

these certain topics seem to find their way into new threads a few times a week and end up with the same lame discussions going around and around and around and around.

they have all been really predictable and the amazing thing is that anyone who gets really involved in them think that they will ever be able to change anyone's mind about it or they their panties so wadded up that they have to come in here and start fighting even though it's going to be the same discussion over and over again.

it usually turns into a bunch of name calling and insults towards those foolish enough to disagree with them.

Your right. Some of us keep beating our heads against the wall when the truth is that those that continue to rail ad nauseum about the same thing in every thread want to stir up controversy and argue and insult others not discuss issues. I just need to get better at not taking the bait.

:banghead:

Yes it's much more pleasant when one ignores certain posters altogether. Not because they have opposing views because that's no biggie, but because of the way they go about expressing themselves. Initiating namecalling and insults in response to a normal discussion comes from a position of weakness in their arguments. Nyah nyah I got nothing so I will call people names!!!!!11111! I'm an awesome internet hardass!!!!! W00t!

usually the posters that get sucked into it i don't have problems with on a majority of topics but they have one or two that they seem to get all riled up about and get totally sucked in. once i see that they have started in on that topic i either just sit back and laugh or avoid the whole thing. leaning more towards avoiding it, though...it gets boring.

55 can't help himself. He thinks he is right about everything and follows me around like a lost puppy on here. He has mad inane after inane argument just to disagree. God Bless that dewd.

The "insults" and name calling is not meant to be that offensive. Why so many take posts on a messge board personal I'll never know.

it seems you are a bit aggressive in going after those arguments as well...if there is a pep contract thread, you're going to be right there doing the same thing.

btw....the insults,

- No personal attacks are tolerated.

it's against the rules whether you think it's a big deal or not. you have been doing a bit of this and i'm surprised that you haven't had any infractions so far. people have gotten more for less than you have gotten away with.

[Jangler]

That's why I have stayed of of these threads for the most part. Unless you know who was spreading manure.

The namecalling and insults are "not meant to be that offensive"? You're right, if I say CAROLINA TROLLS YOU ARE AN UTTER DICKCHEESE for believing something, it's not personal or offensive. Why would someone take a comment addressed to them and not in response to an insult already delivered by them as personal or offensive? Come on now.

I am far from the oversensitive type or PC type, I just think that in the context I described (A serious context and unprovoked, not a joking context.) it's utterly juvenile and shows more about the insulter than the insultee.

agreed.

[carolinarolls]

If any of my comments that some of you deem inulting were unprovoked there would have been an infraction. As was stated, there have been worse penalties for less.

The truth is that I don't start it. Never do.

[Montsta]

Yeah! Who needs thoughtful analysis and heated discussion, anyway? Message boards are for mindless grunting and strutting, 'mIright guys?

Less cynical message: It's a message board. We're here to discuss the Panthers, not yell a bunch of meaningless slogans to boost morale.

Must be new to The Huddle. Welcome kiddo.

...

panthers55 has once again solidified his position as the biggest a55hole on this board looking down his nose at everyone else. 55 obviously takes serious pride in making himself feel superior to other posters on a message board.

55 is a joke

[Montsta]

Never start it crolls?!? You are usually the reason a well thought out thread like Fiz's gets derailed into a name calling pissing match, where you say other people's opinions are not well thought out simply because they disagree with you on the 3 things you comment on this board about; the FO sucks; Jake Delhomme sucks; and tagging Peppers was mean.

mean?

how about dumb? If you are gonna rant, at least pay attention.

the rest of your post is rubbish. You are just mad. I guess you love Joke, love the FO and think Peppers will still pull two first round picks for NEXT year. That is OK> I get called all sorts of things for taking an opposing view on some of these subjects. Sorry I don't fit in your little perfect box.

effn hilarious

...

that is not starting anything. the mods know that 55 follows me around with a sick obsession. I am allowed to defend myself you know.
