If you want to be a raging asshole, all I ask is that you take it to the basement.

Perhaps move basement right next to Serious Business, so more people go there? An honest suggestion.

Dear like_that,

I didn't post your picture because I was butt hurt. It's the Internet.

My point was to point out ETB's hypocrisy, as I never have resorted to revealing personal info, because I was butt hurt. If you want to spin it as whining, then so be it, I can't help it that the point went over your head.

Every Cleveland thread where someone has a negative opinion about anything Cleveland all you do is whine, even if logical points are made. You realize this, right?

This thread delivers

At least Justin won't have to dig through any threads to bring up examples as to why he created this thread.

It is those who are aggressive/passive aggressive trolls (and you know damn well who you are) who have made their own bed who are complaining the most I see.

You reap what you sow...

Yes because nons posts about how steelers fans are more knowledgeable and skyhooks posts with his cheap shots are clearly logical. Got it.

This. It's hilarious how those people think we have no idea what they are doing, even more hilarious that people do it to lotz yet he is trying to spin it into only Cleveland fans QQing.

You can spin it the way you want to spin it, but I won't be crying when people post idiotic things. I will just continue to put them in their spot, and people like you and etb can go QQ to Justin about it. I can tell your feelings are still hurt because I called you a lebron nuthugger.

Nice fail.

I'm guessing the reason this thread was created is mainly because a lot of potentially good topics (by "good", I mean ones getting some degree of interest and not falling off the front page quickly) are getting derailed by stuff that could/should be handled in the basement or by a duel with pistols. Like, when this thread was made, about the top 3-4 on SB were ones that had disintegrated into basement-worthy material.

I'd also guess this thread WASN'T made to support a certain handful of people who like to jab, poke, stir-the-pot, etc. without entering Capone levels of trolling. If you want to take your subtle shots, fine...just don't cry when people take non-subtle shots at you.

If you can't handle a "fail," every now and then you grow thicker skin. Also also at this "nerd," talk. Get over yourself. You are not the only guy with a fighting background and goes to a gym.


Starting to seem like it with all the QQing in this thread.



LOL, you still aren't fooling anybody.



They might be annoying and old (lol at it getting under your skin), but it's still not a personal attack. So, keep on QQing about it!

Also, hey pot, meet kettle. If you don't think mocking mentally handicapped children post after post isn't idiotic and old, then I don't know what to tell you.


This.


This as well. I love how we mock the whole "serious business" aspect of forums, yet we have people here QQing, because an anonymous person said fail, or made fun of them. BOO HOO :(. Might as well start taking "serious business" seriously.
I don't mind any of it as I don't take it seriously, just saying that's my perception of every thread that gets ruined.

This getting closer to the root of the problem, those who want to take their little shots (read passive aggressive) commando style think that somehow they'll be able to defend their shots as innocent, when in reality given their past overt aggressiveness simply isn't possible. You either add value or you don't. When you don't, you get the reactions you do, changed posts, blatant retorts and truths about your team or previous posts. Now we see those with their no value added jabs crying from the rooftops about what they get back in spades. Again, you ALL know who you are...

By passive aggressive do you mean sending PMs and then QQing when that discussion isn't kept private?

We know who that is!

Yeah, etb. You realize he was the one who PM'd me correct? Probably not. Keep it up though, should be interesting how you spin that fact. It's cute how you gained your confidence back now that sleeper is gone.

Gotta admit, we had a long stretch where we didn't have any altercations, in fact I found myself agreeing/repping you on quite a few posts, and it was reciprocated. Not sure what has gotten into you, but you definitely have reminded me on how much of a douche you are.
