At what point does the rhetoric on this board cross the line between preening Alpa wannabes and personal attacks by individuals who clearly dislike each other? I'm all for civil discourse, that's how we learn. We don't all have to agree all the time; that's why there's chocolate and vanilla. I even get that some folks on here may know other folks on here personally and for various reasons, they don't like each other. I don't like everybody I know either. I don't understand, however, the constant need to attack each other on a public forum. I think I can speak for most when I say we don't care about the feuds you may have, we just want to talk TROJAN sports.

If anybody has a beef about being personally attacked and publicly ridiculed on a public forum it is poor TROYSTET. You guys have hammered him to the point of bullying. This is a message board, chill out. It’s a place where Trojan fans come to talk TROJAN. Yeah sometimes jokes and good natured really ribbing goes on from all sides. This isn’t a message board for Convent for the Holy Ghost and there sure isn’t nuns up in here.

I make it point to NOT do that. 2) While you posted a comment prior to mine, my comment was not NECCESSARILY directed at you. My comment was not even directly related to a recent post. The conversation I referenced above tipped the scale, but the feuds I wrote about are on going and involve multiple individuals. 3) I agree, this is a message board and I suppose freedom of expression applies. Just as you have the freedom to refer to another poster as a "crap turd" and suggest that he will "find himself floating home", I have the freedom to express my OPINION that there's no reason for such. If anyone in this conversation needs to chill out, it's you, dude.

I will say I just pop in from time to time right now as I am busy in a new undertaking, but I clicked on the Senior Bowl thread and...geez...the most recent posts on there sound like a bunch of silly teenagers. Not substantive or interesting at all.
There are definitely a lot of surprisingly emotional and sensitive posters on here, and I guess after years of heated disagreements between a relatively small group of people some tension has developed. What can you do? It's the offseason. I don't really get why everyone here takes things so personally. We're all adults and Trojan fans. Besides, it's not like most of this stuff has an objectively correct answer.
I will say that as a reader the super sensitive and defensive posters are apparent, but then again there are others who have posted on here for years with a sneeringly-superior condescension that rubs me the wrong way too. You can probably put the two sides who are always snipping at each other as always between the unfiltered negative posters and the blue skies crowd. Heck, both are entitled to their opinions and only time tells us if one side is right or not.
Like the Rowell thing. I remember how crazy heated that was, it was a very dark time. History has shown moving on from that staff worked out for us, but at the time who knew for sure firing our staff wouldn't put us on some bizarre Idaho trajectory where Chancellor Hawkins decided FBS football wasn't so great after all? (ok, that's a stretch, but you get it).
Bottom-line: State your opinions and disagree like adults. Write some stuff I actually want to read - the best conversation about the Trojans online. Don't make me go to reddit/college football. I'm seeing more Trojans fans representing over there which is great but...

I call it like I see it and defend people who took me in when I was in school and had no one, that's me. I will defend my family. I am brash and sometimes I do get carried away and I apologize for that

I would say yes. It is about Troy fans being officially depressed that football season is over. As far as the message board and the whining, complaining, attacking, the good , the bad, the ugly, etc....it all makes the message board very entertaining.

It says a lot that you find it entertaining to refer to fellow TROY fans as excrement. I have neither the desire or the ability to compete with that. You, sir, are the bigger man and I submit to your message board dominance. You win. With that, I'll take your advice, drink my coffee, and relax. Thanks for the tip.

There are some massive egos on this board, but if you met any of them in real life, they'd buy you a beer and you'd have a good time. None of this is real so lets not take it so seriously.

Not sure about egos but I think our board might best be described in the following: You are at your favorite restaurant and you and your quite large party are waiting patiently at first but fussyness ensues and then crankiness and then disdain for your relatives with you then finally you hear the Maitre D' call your party as follows: Donner Party you may be seated and you get all excited but as you and your party of 87 walk to the back the hostess informs you that there are only 48 seats at the tables she is leading you to and explains "that you guys will have to work it out before we get to the table."
