Then it's time to do self-reflection and realize *why* this is happening, and make the effort to research and improve.
This is a board of mostly knowledgeable posters of schools, realignment, college finances, etc. With that, there's an expectation the rest of the userbase and content will match that bar.
If someone comes along and posts 288 threads (the number you've started) where the vast majority:
1) fails to grasp elementary concepts of college realignment
2) continually misreads other posts
3) can't formulate a fundamentally logical argument
4) is often unrealistic, fantasy nonsense
...that person will get the appropriate feedback. This is the go-to website for a lot of posters to find, learn, and exchange quality content.
If you're a casual fan, that's fine. But this isn't the board to be mashing your keyboard on. There's Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.
It's not on everyone else to pamper someone who's actively dragging down the board and diluting the experience for quality members.

This isn't Risk and it's not NCAA Football 14 where you can move schools into conferences willy nilly. There's a reason the conferences have evolved the way they have and there's a reason we don't see the dramatic changes that some armchair realignment experts would have it.
This.
