Is that no matter what I post now I'm going to get negative points. Doesn't matter how insightful, how useful, how non-"retarded" they are and I will still get down-pointed (as evidenced when I joined this thread already down-pointed lower). I gave my word that I wouldn't change my name but I think that this board is going to make it impossible since I'll just keep going lower.

It would help if you didn't post every time someone made a joke about it. People are giving you negative points because you are coming off as whiny. Post only about things that are not related to "the incident" and people will forgive and forget, eventually

down-pointed for doing absolutely nothing today... So yeah when people say "he'll probably just make another name" what else do you expect me to want to do when all that I see is -392 and now up to -410 something. It's completely ridiculous. This is my favorite site and I feel like an outcast just because of some stupid shit I said yesterday when I was pissed off. Sorry I had a bad posting day but I don't think that I should be completely reamed every time I make a post.

Now that I'm -400 that's at least about 1,000 posts that I have to do to get back to even (since I'll probably get down-voted a lot more than up-voted). And I'd like to be back up to even before football season so that I can actually post stuff again...

Sadly for the board, you seem to have figured out how to post even while sporting a huge negative number.

This is why, this is why, this is why you're awesome. (aimed at Crankthatdonovan) People can forgive anything if you let the issue drop. Stop posting for a week bouje, come back, add some witty/insightful/useful posts, and you'll be back above 0 in no time. If you prove you can contribute positively, you'll move up faster than you went down.

I've been to Wisconsin, PSU, MSU, NW (haha like they care) for away football games and I'm always told how nice and courteous I am and I always tell them "You should see me at the Big House". I know that when you're in someone else's house that you should respect them. As much as other posters would like to think I'm not an idiot and I would never go to another message board and give Michigan a bad name.

Bouje, if you have seen the movie Swingers, you are the living embodiment of the scene with the answering machine messages. Just stop calling. You are not fixing things. If you want to escape the deepening hole, I will echo others and suggest you unclench your death grip on the shovel and stop flailing your arms. You will be forgiven. There are already kind souls throwing you positive points for anything you say. You need to take a deep breath and slow down. People will stop ranking you down when you stop burying threads that could otherwise be interesting with your middle school shoving matches. I genuinely wanted to discuss the Rivals rankings; instead I've twice been treated to your idiotic squabbles. That's the real problem--your feuds are hiding the content. Please walk away from the fights so people can talk about football.

but I have the feeling I'm better off for it. Besides, it's just pointless to get all worked up about rankings at this point. There's so much that's going to happen before signing day that it's all pretty meaningless now. If, God forbid, we go 3-9 again, you can bet that we'll see a nice trickle of decommits. If we go 9-3 and, God willing, beat OSU, then you'll see some highly ranked guys swing our way that we appear to have no chance for right now.

You should reread the thread from yesterday. No one called him an effing retard. I said (because he posted a number of false rankings) that he was either retarded or terrible are reading a list, implying the latter. Because he told us what list he was referring to, and reporting things horribly incorrectly. That's not at all the same as "you're a fucking retard."

Apparently you didn't read the other post about sarcasm. Also why should I I've gone from -400 to -150... and have actually received some good comments on my posting... (won't let me edit that one so i'll add it here) ***SARCASM UP ABOVE BE CAREFUL NOT FOR FAINT OF HEART****

That this board will never let this shit go. Oh no I said something against what the mob thought. I'll never do it again but I said that I'd keep posting under this name and not change and just make a new name. I'm here to stay and I've read this site for a long time so it's not like I'm just going to up and leave.

does NOT equate to writing idiotic, nonsensical posts which waste everyone's time. you start with the inflammatory rhetoric, and then when you get called out on it, you resort to comments like the above, which I'd expect out of my five-year-old daughter. If you've got knowledge to drop, drop it. If you're going to spout garbage, like you've done yesterday and today, stop it.
