Yeah you think that I don't know what I'm talking about (with that sarcasm in the posts) - but here's the difference between me and some of you - I post stuff with a different insight and usually stray from the majority and go out on a limb sometimes - most of you stay safe and just regurgitate everything you read and hear. The big difference now is I have something that makes my words true.

So no I don't want anyone on my proverbial jock (of course most football fans are male anyways) - but quit the sarcasm and just give me and a lot of the posters on here that dissent from the majority thinking - some respect.

Why is this so personal to you?

It's just like I posted - there is just a lack of respect here for some people that want to discuss ideas or topics that seem not right. But how can you decide want is right and what is wrong to discuss here?

In my experience, respect is earned over time. It's not something you win because you were right about a particular argument. If you have good insights, keep posting them. It's even fine to bump an old post and pat yourself on the back in a friendly / self-effacing manner, but you will NEVER gain respect by demanding it the way you're attempting to do here.

I've seen this time and time again on message boards and IRL, and I can certainly understand what you're trying to say, but this isn't the way to achieve what you want to achieve.

Just my .02.

Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about and why you're even stressing out about this.

If you feel like you've been disrespected, then you should let a mod know. But I honestly don't know how someone can get disrespected on a message board. Thats just me. I've been on this board for a couple of years now and not once have I ever felt disrespected.

Take it for what it is......its a message board.


I think you should just get over it and move on. I think you're taking it a little too personal.
