You couldn't be more wrong. Point out a thread in the past week, other than this one and Waco's "Goodbye" thread, that involve the majority of posts being of the "name-calling" nature.

It seems to me that all the threads start out fine, until Chatter comes along and ruins them, or until YOU come along and ruin them, Todd.

But hey, if you've got a problem with it, feel free to leave, Toddy-boy.

And Gruehls, I understand your uneasiness but it seems like the majority of posters here want Chatter gone for good. I know it's not really a democracy per se but still......other than Coop and Todd...er, "Brad"..... I don't think anybody else enjoys his input.

Is this really Chatter??? I thought he was the eternal UC optimist?

While I don't agree with extreme pessimsm before the season even starts, I do know that Rad/Rath at least care. So, I have no real problem there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....hold it there buster. Anyone wants to call me a member of the "who cares about football" crowd can meet me at the flag pole after school. ;-)

This upcoming weekend will go a long ways towards determining whether people are being pessimistic or objective.

So let me understand the rules here.....

If you have different opinion than everyone else.........keep it to yourself or you'll be banned?

Gee, sounds like the old Bengals Huddle Board........if anyone ever posted there. They had a huge fight which lead to everyone defecting to several other boards. Basically the Pittsburgh Steeler moderators would come over and delete or edit any Bengals threads that were insulting to Steeler fans. How ridiculous was that?

I remember after Kimo hit Carson, I was so mad, I wrote several threads accusing Pittsburgh of dirty tactics and the Pittsburgh mods BANNED ME because of my posts on the BENGALS BOARD. Unbelievable.

So.........the rules of this board are similar, huh? You can't have an opposing opinion?

I get it now. I'll just tow the line and spread love all around!

This sure sounds like a replay of the posts you were involved in prior to asking to be put in permanent time-out earlier this summer. Almost verbaitim.

If you have a CONSTRUCTIVE differing opinion on a matter then it's fine, but saying things along the lines of UC football never being any good, second rate program, second rate conference, stepping stone program, etc etc etc is nothing but inflammatory.

Key is CONSTRUCTIVE, not bashing.

And as far as I can tell, you haven't been banned yet.

I am still surprised this thread has not been moved to the Smack Board.

It has digressed to a ridiculous amount of undeserved name-calling. lmfao

Seriously. We could just put this all behind us if the thread title was in our face every time we came on the site.

I'm ready to move on. But when I see more posts on here......I'm tempted to read and reply.

you are one post away from the permanent removal status you often claimed you wanted or needed.

i'm serious chatter; you've worn out my last nerve ending. you are about to get the dramatic conclusion you prayed for here and elsewhere.

I agree with that. Although a solid outing, they do need to ramp up in a few areas if they want to topple Pitt. The good news: Teams typically make their biggest improvement between week 1 and week 2, or so I am told.

And if you want to meet me on the playground after school, I'll have you know, I'm 6-8, weigh 250 lb, and carry 5% body fat lmfao

Hmmm... I've had a change in plans. Algebra club meets this afternoon.

Around Cincinnati size doesn't mean much anymore. You just make a bigger target. I always liked a part in an Indiana Jones movie where this guy is showing Jones his Kung Fu moves or whatever. Jones doesn't have time to fool with him so he just pulls out a gun and shoot's him dead. Don

Living on the Left Coast, BJ is used to real gun play. Our gang bangers are nothing new.
