I can't really give an answer on the Browns thread particullarly, I'm clueless on that as well. As I mentioned to you, maybe it's because you guys give so much shit back in response. I do think that everyone can see the sports forum rules are a little more relaxed to an extent. The thread ban feature is used more than I think you were aware of, even on some posters you named.

Actually, no, not at all. I am just curious as to the "why is it OK?" But actual answers to the question, not, "because you suck, ETB!!!"

Without talking about me or dynasty (or anyone else in particular), why is it OK poke fun about someone's family?

For the record, I don't necessarily condone the whole thavoice thing, however, this scenario is completely different (below):

thavoice: my wife's a bitch
OC: You're wife's a bitch, lolfail, no balls, blah, blah, blah
---
Dynasty: here is a picture of me and my fiance. I love her.
OC pwn team: LOL. You suck at life. Your wife has a big nose. PWN.
Please emphasize my last point and STFU, thanks.

Have you ever made fun of Tim Tebow or Michael Jackson? Gibby loves them, they're family to him. I smell dichotomy.

We wouldn't have to be dicks if there was something done to them. Browns fans just enforce the thread themselves.

Not the thread to discuss it. You have your own thread, you can bump it. GFY. Thanks.

That wouldn't fall under the "Personal attack" rule?

If that is a personal attack then wouldn't you calling people fat rednecks be an attack as well?

But you have absolutely no problem doing that.

If you're going to have the stones to blatently troll or be passive aggressive in doing so then you better have the stones to take what comes back your way, redardless of angle.

lol. We've been down that road, and I never said it wasn't a personal attack. I've already been warned for it, sir.

Agreed... but that still doesn't answer the question, "why is it OK?" Looking for answers other than:

"b/c it's teh internets," "because fuck you,"

Talking about my family is personal to me. Talking about hillbillies I never met isn't.

Either way, not sure why people get all mad on the Internet. Ignore people. If they don't get a rise then it'll be no fun for me.

Also, Justin doesn't act like a POS, so it wouldn't even cross anyones mind to make such attacks...

See how that works little guy ETB?
