Message: [QUOTE="CaptainJ, post: 3285830, member: 1553"] ((DISCLAIMER!)The following was not aimed at anyone personally[so no need to read it being it turned out to be kinda long...I figured it would be best I explained my logic before leaving], but rather the behavior of the horde whenever UConn is brought up...In more exteme examples, it [I]sometimes [/I]reminds me of the difference between some people when they are sober and when they hit the bottle, as well as the mob mentality of championship riots I've been in the midst of[tear gas is no joke, lol!] where the normal rules of civility are suspended. And maybe the message of the Pink Floyd song, Us And Them, for anyone whom Floyd speaks to. Upon reflection, I don't want to be a captain bringdown, so I will probably avoid this thread after I hit the post button, as I normally do. It probably was not the best decision for me to enter it when I saw it had been resurrected. Not to disappoint anyone, but the epilogue relates to this thread only and not the whole board, and despite it's sincerity, is [I]for the purposes of education and entertainment only, and should not be taken as medical or legal advice[/I]). Ha, the arrogance and obsessive dislike I occasionally have seen in these threads, and(maybe more so) the different ways(biting my lip here for self-preservation, so sont bother asking for details) the 2 boards treat their respective opposing fan visitors actually did make me consider it for a moment! But to offer another illustration of where I am coming from, I recently did something similar for Tbonezone when people were defaming him in absentia, even if I don't endorse some of his views. Like any fan of sport(or nature), I enjoy competition more than I do someone just declairing themselves the winner after not allowing the other side to participate. I have it done to me, and don't enjoy how it feels, so maybe it's as much a golden rule thing for me as it is trying to play Devil's Advocate to the shock of those who thought they were gang raping a dead carcus. That being said, my first avatar on here(actually probably before this url...2 boards ago, was that the one before Scout?) was of Otto giving the Husky mascot a beatdown, for what it's worth, but I no longer have the dislike for the Huskies or even the Hoyas I once did, and wish we had a new rival to direct these feelings toward. Epilogue: And again, everything in today's OP was something said by members [I]on here[/I](why give Husky fans credit for being innovative?), more than once, and without the excuse of basting the balls of another team. I thought it was a fair point at the time that might get a tee even in here, but maybe it was a momentary lapse of reason(I'm being sincere, not sarcastic. I will leave peacefully of my own accord, I don't want to be banned from any more threads, this one isn't worth it to me). To quote Garth Brooks (and I mean this [I]very[/I] sincerely. I considered the putting in the "Say goodbye to the bad guy" clip, but felt it might be too melodramatic being you guys were relatively kind to me compared to in the past) Well, I guess I was wrong I just don't belong But then I've been there before Everything's all right I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean To cause a big scene [B]Just give me an hour[/B] and then Well, I'll be as high As that ivory tower That you're livin' in [/QUOTE]
