You know who I am because you "know" Joe? If you knew who I was you wouldn't be calling me the Pemberville Parasite lol. Again, I don't understand what any of this has to do with the fact that I said something about OSU fans doing the exact same thing that Web was doing which in your eyes was trolling. Obviously you have nothing to say to that point and the ensuing posts prove your lack of intellect.

Karen- you have a history on here of being sarcastic and confrontational, and you personally addressed my post to elicit this kind of response--and you got it. And fwiw, it's common knowledge that you went to Eastwood HS, which is located in Pemberville, ergo the PP reference. Also, my post was directed at another poster NOT for what he said, but for trolling the thread to say it. Now, if you're so dense as not to comprehend that, you've got yet another problem. Finally, I do know who you are, and I most certainly "know" Joe.

My post in response to you was because you called him a troll for talking about an OSU player which according to you is off limits to non OSU fans. Should Web have started ANOTHER thread on Pryor so he could give his opinion or is he not allowed to at all? That is my point. You called him a troll for giving his opinion. I said the same thing happens with OSU fans talking about Robinson and Rich Rod as well as the entire Michigan program, but that isn't considered trolling? So me saying what I said elicits the response you gave about where I went to high school? That makes perfect sense. You know who I am because I went to Eastwood and you know Joe? I'm sure I'm the only person that knows who he is and vice versa.

Well, according to the volleyball guy, even though I am from OHIO, I am not welcome to partake in conversation on the OHIO Chatter website unless I am an OSU fan. Nevermind that my opinion on the topic is the same as many of the Buckeye fans here.

Sorry vball, I ain't going anywhere. Sorry to disappoint you.

Well, just so we keep it all factual, some of the Buckeye "fans" on here are some of the biggest blind haters of Pryor I have seen.

no, I know who you are because Joe told me who you are....unbelievable.

Webbie, you can partake in any conversation that you'd like, but, like you, I also have the right to call you a troll for coming onto an obvious OSU thread and calling out an OSU player--just as you would do if I were to come onto a tsun thread and call out a tsun player. See, it's that simple--really.

Then you don't know the definition of trolling. It's that simple.

FWIW this is what Adam Rittenberg (ESPN B10 Blogger) had to say when asked about Pryor's comments.

Terrelle certainly keeps us entertained, doesn't he? There's a reason why his media appearances are limited, although I always enjoy hearing what he has to say (many Buckeyes fans don't). He's a confident guy, and he could be right about being able to dominate in a spread option offense. But Pryor also is a guy who, by all accounts, strives for perfection, wants to win very badly and has tremendous respect for the seniors on the team. He wants to win for the seniors and talks about it a lot. Those qualities are admirable and desired in a QB.

According to the Urban Dictionary trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet.

There are some other "interpretations" of trolling for sure. I just happen to see that one recently.

Which would define vball really well in this thread. Congrats vball, you are the troll!

While it is sad that Persa was voted above Pryor and I understand TP's frustration with that, I wish he hadn't tooted his own horn like this. It just looks bad on him. His stats speak for himself just fine and I wish he'd leave it at that - even though some apparently aren't paying much attention.

I know you feel it your responsibility to stick up for OSU, but you do take it too personally sometimes. I don't think Web said anything too bad on here, so just let it be.

Of course a Michigan and Notre Dame fan is going to be overly critical of OSU players, and I would expect the same in return, but that doesn't mean they can't contribute something to a conversation without being told "gtfo".

maybe I do, dynasty, and I tried to let it be but it seems futile (see post #261)...but thanks anyway for mediating.

I know you used to be highly critical of me at times and I never meant to be a troll. Sure I am critical at times, and maybe more so than I should be, but I always thought I at least contributed to a conversation and expressed my opinions in a fair way.

I think for the most part web does the same, but because he's obviously a Michigan fan I think people automatically label him a troll rather than taking what he has to say as a point of discussion.

But then again, you might be right. You seem to be pretty knowledgeable and usually contribute to discussion and if you take offense to it, then who am I to say otherwise.

It seems some here think a Michigan fan is automatically a troll. There are many OSU players I like, but TP is not one of them. On and off the field. Doesn't make me a troll. If it does, there are lots of OSU trolls here!

Obviously all schools have trolls, and since OSU has more fans here they have more trolls here. FOR THE MOST PART, the ND and UM people that come over to talk are not really trolling. Sure, there's Gibby and Zombiekiller, but simply being an outsider and have a differing opinion or a critical question/statement does not constitute trolling.

Now, when sleeper, Tiernan, etc. go into the other threads it is to serve no other purpose than to talk someone or something down, and with zero tact to boot. This generally is what annoys people. MOST of the OSU fans go over and simply ask questions or join in, just like MOST of the UM/ND fans do on OSU threads.

You all can keep trying to frame simple disagreements as trolling, but we aren't going to buy it.
