Thanks for the lesson. "Borned" is especially funny to me for reasons I won't get into. |

Living on the Interwebz, I ve meet many idiot fans (which I have lots of complaints about). Today, I was working, which happens to be a place of working, and saw this post from some guy on MGoBoard. I was reading his handle and I noticed he was from Wisc. He was telling this idiot story about his first interaction with an OSU fan. I laughed out loud and sarcastically said to myself "god what a fucking great representative of Michigan fans". He seemed like a confused adolescent that should know better when working in retail, and it's kinda embarassing the brah was borned and raised in Michigan. A little later I saw another brah comment about this, inwhich he bragged about how the threw down against some OSU fans, and I don't blame them one bit for beating on the guy. This brah being a big mich fan thought it was all cool and awesome and shit. But you got to be kidding me, these guys are really acting like that and bragging about it? Does they really got to be such fucktards that it becomes easier and easier to see why people hate mich fans? This thread sucks. borned |

The difference between your precedent and the present situation is that in your examples it is the message itself, whether conveyed inherently or explicitly, that lowers the level of discourse, thereby necessitating the institution of policy. A non-print-only link to the freep alone does no such thing, especially when ancillary to the main message of a comment, even if there is an intended underlying anti-boycott sentiment. The discourse only devolves thereafter, as you demonstrated. The problem isn't the link; it's the rabble that follows. As a consequence, your proposal risks throwing the babby out with the bathwater, no matter the policy, and necessarily dictates acceptance of one side or another, rather than respect. To the extent you want policy on this board, how about one that requires respect of one's choice to support the boycott or not, and leave it at that. Don't force it down people's throats one way or another. |

This insistence on having an "agreed upon way" to link to the freep makes little sense. This is not a subject of communal agreement, but rather respect for those that don't give a shit about the boycott and vice versa. Communal agreement is fine for things that make the board readable. Posting freep links, in and of itself, does not contribute to making the board unreadable. It's the inevitable rabble afterwards that does, which goes to the heart of the issue - get rid of the fucking rabble, respect others' opinions about the boycott, and make the personal decision to click or not click the link. It's as bad as me eating a burger and a vegan coming up and getting in my face about it. Dude, it's my choice to eat cow even if it's offensive to you, and it's your choice to eat lettuce for lunch even if I would rather kill myself. We don't need to have an agreed-upon menu. |

So the real issue here is Carr's personal reputation. And he needed Section 1 of MGoBlog to place the focus on him to step up and comment on the story that disparaged his good name, something that is an intensely personal to him and him alone? How arrogant. |
