I am not telling you that you are in the fault for everything, I would also be bothered by some of the things that are said to you. But I never see you acknowledge when you are in the wrong for what you say, and because you respond to every bit of trolling about you, your misgivings are more pronounced than others.
Everything just seems to come back to a defensive mode of you without acknowledging that you could be wrong and hurtful yourself. You can't tell me you are surprised that you receive negative attention when you say things and call people "losers", "idiots", "afraid to leave their safe spaces" "shit heel", "can't even read", and that's just over the last few days based on your comment history.
I'm sure you are as sick of all of this talk about your "trolling" and dickish nature as everyone else is. Your past responses have deflated your level of respect around here to an alarmingly low rate, which creates biases against you that may not be fair, but as long as you continue to engage in the trolling against you in every thread, it will just continue and probably get worse. Why not just ignore it and concentrate on the actual points until you start to get some respect back?
You think I give a shit about "respect" from a bunch of anonymous screen names? Good one.
And you would be better served to provide some context to the things I have said that you illustrated above. Will you? Of course not, so let me post what proceeded those comments:
"he's the worst type of fan. I'm embarrassed to belong to the same fanbase as this loser."
"He's not a fan, he's a troll"
"Its says in your OP that he was a Michigan fan. Hold another neg"
"Sorry I misread your OP. However, hold another neg for your awful posting in this thread."
So yeah. Context is important. People fire I'm going to fire back. Just like our football coach.
Before you alienate another person who was not trying to start shit with you but genuienly trying to help this endless fight that you keep having, let me try and clear up my position.
You clearly care. You are not kidding anyone by saying that you don't. If you truly did not care, you would not retort in such a defensive manner any time someone insulted you, you would ignore the comments and focus on the point, which you claim is what you want. Also, if you did not care, you would not make so many comments about the negging.
I also believe that you have a clear misunderstanding of why you are disliked. You continually say things like "people don't like their safe space disrupted" as the reasoning for why you get sent to Bolivia, but that is missing the point altogether. It has nothing to do with what you are saying. Frankly, I assume most people no longer care about what you are saying because everyone is so concentrated on your disrespectful, poorly communicated, and sarcastic way of saying everything. Add in your complete unwillingness to take blame for anything, and it should come as no surprise that you get the reactions you do.
You say you come on here to have discussions, but you no longer have that option because your actual opinions are for the most part ignored or written off as trolling. So now you have become a guy who writes things to strangers on the internet, knowing damn well that all you will receive in return are insults which you do in fact care about. Please just take some good-hearted advice and engage in some self-evaluation to think "huh, is the reason so many people have completely turned against me completely by no fault of my own?" I will continue to read your opinions and think objectively about them, even though you are seemingly intent on making me and others have an inherent bias against that.
It debunks your recruiting is everything myth.
Ah the old everyone cheats but us excuse.
I don't expect Michigan to recuit like Duke or Kentucky, even though we used to in the 80's and 90's, but I don't think it's too much to ask to start landing a few McDonalds All Americans and to consistently bring in top 15 classes every year.
Well I for one am with you Maizen. But the first lesson in critique is you have to chortle and coddle everyone's ball sack by first paying 2 or 3 compliments before lobbing out the critique.
Meaning, I totally agree with you that Beilein has been a very disappointing recruiter relative to the power of the Michigan brand and the excellent W/L results he can present. There really is little question about it - he is not an elite recruiter.
ON THE OTHER HAND, he is also one of the best coaches in the country, is a hell of a good representative of the university, and I'm still happy to have him as my coach. (Just wish the dude could recruit better because I'm a Michigan grad, and thus I am allowed to want to have my cake and eat it too).
Well said CLord. I almost spit out my drink laughing your "chortle and coddle everyone's ball sack" line.
If negative posts were caved/lowered and positive posts highlighted/boosted, that'd be great.
Bad posts shouldn't stay where they are, they should sink and fade. Good posts should rise and fluorish.
Couldn't disagree more. Those who cut against the grain usually provide far more interesting reading than endless posts crawling up the ass of our coaches and school and collectively masturbating us all on how great we are.
I redeem my MGoBlog points for cash at my bank every month, and my favorite watering hole gives me $5 off pitchers with each 50 points.
