My comments were never hateful towards trans people I simply referred to hemiman as trannyman. There is zero hate in that statement. I in no way made any disparaging comments about trans people. Calling someone trannyman could be a compliment depending on how YOU as an individual view trans people. It is unfortunate that my comments are being quickly judged in such a manner that even the use of the word trans or in an automotive connotation as tranny to refer to someone who uses an automotive play on words in their screen name are construed as hate speech. What if I would have called him Jesus? I assure you, that on some internet boards, that would have been considered hate speech. I don't know why Hemi comes on this board only to throw insults. It is his motive to never participate in game threads until the game is over. Once the game is over however, he picks over the comments and only makes insults to those that have participated. I have decided to use the block feature for hemi. If you choose so, you can also use it for me. I'm here to talk football mostly and not here to argue with other users. I honestly don't dislike a single person on here as I don't know any of you personally. I'll call anyone on a board out when they're being a gooch and I'm good to be called out when I'm one as well. It's not gonna bother me or rattle my self-esteem. Just stating that up front. TBB, Hemi wasn't threatening you in the slightest. I don't think a single person here other than you got an "I'm gonna find you and fight you" vibe from him with what he said. Your response was way over the top. You've done that a few times lately; almost seeming a bit manic. You went from oddly curious to wanting heads to roll in a heartbeat over a goofy, fun, light-hearted reveal video and now here you've gone from the usual back and forth to taking people and the school you say you love to court. And I'm guessing, because you mentioned code, that you've semi-hacked the board in order to kill Hemi's rep points. However you did it, it's a whole lot of obsessive. Dude, all that is...way extreme, putting it kindly. Bouncing from one side of the spectrum to the other isn't healthy. You're reading WAY too much into everything. And blocking folks too. This board ain't Grand Central Station. Block just a few more of us and you might as well be on a remote deserted island. And the tranny thing, while I don't care at all about the PC of it, you KNOW the slight you are giving when you say something like that. You can't act like a bead of mercury sliding out from underneath the fingertip with your rationalizing of it. However you want to slice it, you said it in an insulting, taunting way to Hemi. Meet a jerk during the day and you met a jerk. Meet jerks all day; you're the jerk. Throttle back, pull up, or take some time off from the board or something. I'm not even joking or saying it to poke at you. Everyone looking knows, it's all a bit extreme. Ocean, I like reading your posts. Our opinions don’t always agree and that’s great. The world would be boring if we all said and thought the same. There are always two sides to any issue and you only mentioned one side. This is a message board about Troy football, which we all love but when people come on here and call fellow Trojans losers and idiots and at their posts are dumbest thing on the internet becaus me they disagree, it drives people away and goes against what they profess as trying to build the Trojan nation up. Don’t get we wrong, people can post what they want, it’s a free country. Like when Hemi posts, calling people losers. That doesn’t bother me, just shows his immaturity, disrespect and lack of control. But this childish type behaviour prevents good Trojans from engaging here and outside, it’s a poor look. You detailed TBB’s side of the issue above. We want people to post their opinions, facts and thoughts about Troy football. And we want others who disagree and post about their opinions, facts and thoughts. I agree a bunch of wrongs don’t make a right. Yes, it was all extreme. And hopefully after some time we can all get back to normal posting about Troy ! Go Troy.

I do not post on game threads during the games I have never thought I need to post on the board while watching the game. We are all passionate about Troy and have the right to respond, within reason, how we feel compelled to do so.
I have never made a judgment of anyone based off of their message board post. That would make me shallow and honestly pretty dumb to try and draw any conclusion about a person based off of a post on the internet.
I will tell you that players families do read this board and they do take it personally when you attack their family members. Outside of a few posters on here that played college football, most on here have a very basic and minimal knowledge of what’s going on during any play other than where the ball is at that moment.
Joe Craddock’s dog knows more about football than 99% of the posters on this board as well.
That last drive vs Georgia St was an absolute thing of beauty. It’s everything you want when you have a lead and 8 minutes to go in the game. Maybe just maybe those running plays some hate on here have a purpose in the grand scheme of things. Georgia St’s defense was gassed. Troy imposed their will on them late and broke their spirit. That’s a lot more fun than throwing the ball around 60 times a game like you do on XBox.
It’s a great day to be a Trojan.

Let’s go Trojans ! Another win is needed. Craddock keep calling plays like you stole that bicycle. You barely got away last week. PoPo was close. Get that snap up ! We want to cheer for victory! Craddock > loser wanna be that only goes to games when he gets free tickets. I have two degrees from Troy, attending school their in the early 90’s Been a season ticket holder for decades. Given money to Troy for that long too. Troy has given me more than I can ever repay it. Being called “a loser wanna be that only goes to games when he gets free tickets.” I’m a big boy and it doesn’t bother me but your attacks flies in direct contradiction to your previous post. Always great day to be a Trojan.

And hopefully after some time we can all get back to normal posting about Troy ! Go Troy. What you said is true. I did not examine the Hemi side of the coin and I'll take that. But my main point rose above this thing between him and TBB and was more about the extreme highs and lows of TBB's posts on the whole. It all seems to be way too heavily invested. So I was just offering up some food for thought. I don't think Hemi was too extreme, though I can totally see where he might come off on here as a bit brusk. Well, I can too and might even be first in line. I haven't always agreed with him, thinking back to the Rowell days. Everyone has a right to their opinion. But the weight this board carries in real life is infinitesimally small and I don't at all carry it over. That doesn't give us free will to just do whatever we want carte blanche or act however but it does mean we ought to give each other some grace and benefit of the doubt here. Your point is well-taken though. Perhaps we should all take a deep breath and maybe even set for ourselves a personal standard of "wait x time before hitting "create post" to ensure we say what we want to say without the emotion of the moment. Heck, maybe we type out a response in a google doc and never even submit it but get it out of our system. LOL I've done it before! Lastly, I don't post during the games because......THERE'S NO FREAKIN' WIFI ACCESS OR SIGNAL!!!! Grrrrrrrr

Grrrrrrrr BOLD TYPE- Precisely why many of us on this bored don't post during games, among other reasons. If cornhole posted in the heat of havoc, several here might think cornhole Mo-ronic as well. (Go ahead, been called worse, thick-skinned and my meds are current.) Others might consider likewise, esp if subject to passionate, moronic bloviations mired in emotional nonsense, perhaps leveraged with fine adult beverage. IF that's your bag, be prepared for whatever pushback comes at ya or be gone. Freedom of expression works both ways. "Man" up, it's only a message board. All in fun.

I finally have it.........I have been trying to remember where I have seen such unanimity before? Where the collegial quality of discussion was so universally supported and upheld. But where was it that I have seen it before? Was it in the WWE or perhaps at the UN or maybe it was at the Kardasian's last dinner before Bruce became Kaitlyn? But where or where? Now I remembered. Congress! Yep, that's it where harmony and bliss and Rodney Kings's great inspiring words live on. Our board is like congress. For some, reason we just keep coming back for more to listen to the opinions of all regardless of merit or thought. Now I am not the arbiter of all board angst, but I am pretty sure that most of us can agree to disagree and continue to spout our ideas as if they were golden turds. I love this board.
