Vooch ( all-academic Big Ten)

[Norm Peterson]

Somebody jump on this guy like they did BenJammin.

OK, let's just speak very plainly about these two threads, this one and the one doc1394 is referencing from yesterday:

 

1.  The thread yesterday wasn't reporting something they knew or that they felt was rock-solid, though not yet official, news.  It was asking whether anyone else had heard a particular rumor.

 

2.  The thread yesterday cast a particular player and one of his parents in a negative light.  This one does not.

 

3.  I hate doing this because I don't want to divulge something told to me in confidence, but let's just say the rumor posted yesterday was just a bit over-dramatized by whoever told it to the person who posted it.  This one, I mean, how can you overdramatize ... you get the picture.  This thread isn't exactly an earth-shattering revelation.

 

In my opinion -- and you may disagree with me -- these are two very different threads.

[Norm Peterson]

Oh, and one more difference:  ajb got about 7 down arrows for what he posted in this thread; benjammin didn't get any down arrows yesterday, so far as I'm aware.

Norm, I guess I will take your invitation to disagree with you.  But I've never much been into "cute", which was what the OP was doing.  More into just sayin' it as it is.

He had a down arrow, but I voted it back up because I didn't see anything wrong with the Walt thread.

As for this one, it's pure trolling.

[Norm Peterson]

Maybe if I'd seen the original thread title, I would have seen it differently.  But I'm among the people Scott was talking about being confused about the comments because I didn't see what the title was before he changed it.

[Norm Peterson]

I was wrong.  He's had 8 down arrows in this thread.  That's not even close to the record, though.  I think I even have that beat.  But someone had, like, over 40 down arrows for one post.  And I don't think it was even a Creighton fan.  So, ajb, you're going to have to piss people off a whole lot more effectively than this if you want to set any kind of HHC record.  You got work to do, that's all I'm sayin'.

It just said Vooch.

Darn. You guys got me. Finally called out. Been trolling this site for almost 8 years now and now you guys finally figured me out.

As for what really happened as I considered the original post yesterday...

I've become quite put off by the testiness and overall stupidity on the board recently. So I posted an extremely vague statement (bitch move, BTW) which could be construed to mean something that probably, but that I may or may not know, is happening. Dimes is the man as he called me out on it right away, but it was to be taken purely as a parody of the Walt rumor thread of the day prior. So...I trolled (maybe) for the first time in my life and boy did I get everyone going. Completely wrong, but completely necessary. Everyone needs to chill the eff out. Including me. Sorry to everyone.

Also, can someone tell me where I stand on the down up system of arrows? I've never seen that since I haven't logged on in a non-mobile fashion since before the old site came here.

Also, I wish Vooch the best. He really is a good teammate and guy.

good post as to your motivations and all is now fine  (although I think there were many times in the past when the board has been much "testier and overall stupider" than in recent days/weeks  ).

What do down arrows do?

[atskooc]

That.

Yeah, bitch move.  Agree with you there, given what I now know was the original title of your thread.

 

I disagree with there being a lot of stupidity on this board lately.  Other than a couple of stupid recent threads, the board has been quite good.  A whole lot better than 2 years ago.

 

Right now, you're a net 240 ups (240 more up arrows than you've had downs.)  I'm guessing I've given you at least a third of those up arrows.

 

And I'm usually a guy who says this is a discussion board, therefore discuss whatever you want.  But a thread that says, "hey, I've heard this rumor that one of our players is a whiny little bitch and so is his dad, has anyone else heard this rumor?" is probably a bridge too far for me.

[hhcscott]

Now I'm going to be a whiny little gender neutral pejorative. How about not using allusions to women to insult each other and our players? Not trying to be the PC police, but women are pretty awesome (and Nebraska women are exceedingly awesome) so let's be respectful of them and each other.
