Are there any posters you used to hate that you now love? OT/Meta/Whatever
The Boards have had their fair share of hostility lately, and I thought I'd bring the love. But with a twist. Rather than just "I love so and so's posts" (invariably leading to...why didn't anyone pick me...sniff, sniff...or worse, too sugary posts), is there anybody you really couldn't stand as a poster, but you made peace, something changed, you got to like the posts more, etc.?
This is NOT an "I hate xxxx" thing. But hope for us all. Well, if you're not a troll. ;-)
My example- Purplestuff. Our first interaction was a knock down, drag out, insulting argument, grown out of the complete insanity and running around without heads in the whole MSU-Iowa-Illinois debacle, where cool heads were not prevaling. But we made cautious peace, and as I got where he was coming from, what his style is, and have a feel for his tone, I find him wildly entertaining. He consistently cracks me up; and I like his points as well. Now, we don't agree on everything, and I KNOW he doesn't agree with everything I say.
But that's my example of another guy that my only goal was to take the piss out of, and now I look forward to his posts.
Anyone else have any similiar experiences?
Magnus!!!!!
I used to hate him for being a post-happy, MGoPoints lovin' son of a gun....now I just think he is funny and almost always right.
White bikinis go with maize and blue, don't they? I'm never sure on the whole "fashion" thing...

but the post happy hasn't gone away.
It's all about the nookie.
Come on.
The nookie.
So you can take that cookie.
I kinda of miss that guy ...
He may be closer than you think

yes

I know, but I won't tell you. But it will soon become clear. And you will remember that I was the one who knew

yes

oh yes
I endorse all discussion of how awesome I am.
Proceed.
But lord knows I enjoy me some em0-tastic meltdown.
My favorite was that brief stretch where he created a new account virtually every day and the board got faster and faster at spotting him. At first he would deny it but by the end there once someone called him out, he would immediately go ape shit.
He really was just slightly obnoxious because he posted the same boring depth chart thread every day, but he truly melted down when criticism came his way.

I miss the "Nick Saban" persona
But em0 was a vital component of the MGoPointEconomy.
His constant phantom negging prevented MGoInflation
Clarkie from Canada and I went back and forth about hockey and the like during the Olympics. Didn't really hate him, but like his knowledge on ice sports.
Aquaman knows him(her?)self some baseball. That's always refreshing on a (mostly) UM Football board.
I couldn't stand KoB at first, but then I stopped taking him seriously and just laughed at his posts. That is, until he was banned and reincarnated as Simi Ma-, Simi Marka-, Simi Nagannaposthereanymore.
And then there's that Johnny Ringo guy who walks around here acting like he owns the place. I asked my Russian prostitute wife if I should hate him. She said I should...
Have you SEEN his Avatar?
He's either a man or the lesbian with the best taste, ever.
I still think he's closer to this:
And I believe you meant to say: Best. Taste. Ever.
He calls Kate a Hungarian devil at one point.
Us Hungarians, always persecuted in the media...
He was on point sometimes and out there sometimes. At times I hated his nonproductive banter, but I have to say in retrospect I miss his take.
anyone that doesn't like himself. Except me.
I started posting a lot just to argue with M-Wolverine and people I thought were trashing Beilein in increasingly unfair ways. And while I maintain that a few of those posters simply don't understand either basketball or at least modern basketball statistics, M-Wolverine is far more fair and competent than I thought. I've become a fan even though I certainly don't always agree.
Also: I believe em0 is still here, if any of you remember the BooBoo thread from a few days ago you might agree.
He's got access to literally THOUSANDZ of computers.
I miss WolvinLA.

I wish I never made that thread asking where you had gone.
.....okay that was a lie and I can't believe I wrote that
I never really hated PromoteRichRod, but I wonder what happened to him after that tearful goodbye. Anyone have the link to that?
I got kinda veklempt rehashing the past through your link, f/a...
So many old friends/acquaintances in there that are now gone... We lost a lotta good men out there.
Chrisgocomment, Dex, even BigGayHeart... we salute you, wherever you are.
I actually kinda liked PromoteRichRod.
Until he melted down. I'm pretty sure he's still here, I can't remember what his new name is, but I remember him admitting who he was.
I love everyone.
Bouje called me a douche bag in the epic Myron Rolle meltdown thread. And although Bouje is largely rehabilitated, and I guess that's good, a part of me misses his weekly stonings- especially in the offseason.
But you gotta love that name. You can kinda sorta hear his grandmother standing over his crib, pinching his cheeks and saying, "Bouje, Bouje, Bouje!"
Maybe I can have an epic meltdown for old times sake.
Just don't fake it. I'll know.
i used to hate the_big_house 500th
now i love him
Wow. Talk about him proving your point.
I can't believe I missed that. There are just so many gems in there: your wife and kids left you, eating Cheetohs while banging a pocket pussy and looking at kiddie porn, and the ever popular "the town you live in was probably/hopefully destroyed by a hurricane" insult.
My only solace is that an outburst like that on the internet hopefully prevented some innocent bystander from being murdered in real life.
Pocket pussy? Doesn't he know that the Fleshlight is the hot new item?
NONE ARE SMARTER
I also missed that. Thank you for re-posting it; it was more than hilarious.
Shouldn't there be a thread on classic meltdowns?
Please?
I tried that already--it didn't go over well. Probably because I suck.
...after meltdown thread melted down? That might be why it didn't work.
That, and other than blind memory or being involved in one, I'm not sure how you track them down.
No, it got pulled down. I haven't had a meltdown...yet.
I HATE YOU ALL!!!!!! WHY HAVE I LOST POINTS???? SOMETHING's WRONG HERE!!!
When I see your avatar the first thing that pops into my head is MVP of the Crab Shack vs. Oyster Bar poll, after Swflablue or whatever his name is, bailed on us and left us rudderless. MVP! MVP!

Perhaps I should switch back to the rabbit with the bloody knife...
the new one has "hey come get some candy, it's in my van" written all over it
April 24th, 2010 at 11:49 AM ^
but the bunny ruled.April 24th, 2010 at 10:09 AM ^
to the knife-wielding bunny.
That is my favorite avatar of all time on the interwebs. Creepy and cute at the same time...priceless.
I hated myself when I started posting because I knew nothing. Now I know something.

...emo (not em0).
