A thread that is plenty long enough already

I was with ya until the last part.

feel free to have the higher ups check my IP address for multiple accounts.

It's true - the wife has a different IP address. But we still need pics.

If Mike steps out of line, he'll get zapped for it.

We've even stepped in and moderated multiple threads that were "BP acceptable but emotional when coming from a rival" (weight lifting, article about JT scandal).

But this thread is quite the opposite, and the latest in a LONG LINE of garbage where mundane Mike comments inspire yet another tirade (and I'm not talking about Mili mocking his grammar, which was justified). It's like we're on a year long van ride where two brothers keep trying the same schtick to get the adopted kid in trouble with the parents.

Every time I see this thread title I think it says "Tater Forcier."

Gotta be flashbacks from Ron White.

There's a hell of a lot more than two people tired of his act and he certainly isn't a victim.

Also, where is the tirade? He runs his mouth, he gets feedback, he continues to run it, he continues to get feedback. Are we at the point where a scUM fan gets free reign and the Buckeye fans have to bite their lip?

To finish with your adopted kid analogy, one of the parents must really like the kid because any other guest that was in the middle of this many trainwrecks would have been gone a long time ago.

I don't even know what everyone's problem is with Mike... most of his comments are pretty spot-on and fair and he gets torn to shreds for being an attention whore.

Obviously he's gonna get shit for being a scUM fan, and for liking LeBron on an OHIO STATE website, but goodness you would think Mike killed Jax's cat or something.

Really? Do tell, what exactly was he running his mouth about?

Which post was it? The part where he made light of "ineligible doesn't usually change", or the self-deprecating response after Mili mocked his grammar? Or where he said Michigan sucked for a decade?
he continues to run it, he continues to get feedback.
No, what actually happens is:

Mike posts almost anything, Jax shows up.
Mike posts again, Jax shows up again.

Mike has had times where he's needed to reel it in. The heat thread certainly comes to mind.

If he crosses the line, he'll be hit with an infraction quite quickly. He doesn't have nearly as much leeway as you're trying to sell.

But that's beside the main point:

If he's really that much of an attention whore and nuisance, then dumping gasoline on the fire almost every time he posts is a pretty stupid thing to do, isn't it?

Who is playing the victim now?

Or maybe he hasn't broken the rules. The mods are like the rest of us, some like him, some don't mind him, some hate him.

The alternative is what? Let a scUM fan make himself at home and just go to town because a couple of mods like him?

No one. I'm asking the question, why do we have to make allowances for a scUM fan?

I don't know about everyone else but I come here for a an escape from reality, shoot the shit and be around Buckeye football fans. I don't come here to have to deal with scUM fans and damn sure not the Ohio born chose to be a scUM fan to piss people off variety.

Particularly one that pops up in A LOT of different threads. I have him blocked and it still annoys me when his name shows up over and over again in various threads across the entire site.

Sure he stays in line most of the time, but he has shown spurts of the typical scum fan BS, and I have to wonder what he would act like if tsun wasn't experiencing their worst decade ever against Ohio State and in general. We saw a sneak peek of it during the eye of the tat five hurricane I believe, which also happens to be when I blocked him.

Maybe I hold grudges too much, but I can't stand it when his name pops up in threads, and like I said, it does a lot.

You could respond to his posts... rather than screaming repeatedly at a caricature.

You could mock flawed or foolish things he says... rather than drown out your own rebuttals with repetitive refrains about how everything Mike posts is egomaniacal & instigation.

You could notice that you started this latest catfight... rather than blaming all of his mod pals who are protecting him from true justice.
:lol: So you weren't referencing that because I called you out vs Mike? That wasn't a "when does Jax have to bite his lip" so he can "make himself at home and just go to town" reference?

Some people come here for recruiting. Others for an OSU brotherhood. Some just like the poli board, gaming, romper room, torrents. Some like the melting pot of all of these various elements. Some like rule-following outsiders as much as any element of this site. None of those are wrong, they're just different.

And yet the buckeye football sub forum was dominated by the exact opposite of that this offseason. Many people wanted to do anything but endure more painful discussions about the scandals, but that's not how BP works.

When someone or something bothers a BP poster that isn't against the rules, that's something they're just going to have to deal with.

It was that way with rep messages, with political board fights, with posters whose only purpose was actually to troll (Tibs). It's still that way today.

I'm not talking about ripping Mike a new one when you think he's arguing nonsense about Hoke, or if he's dancing on the line in a Kalis thread.

I'm talking about times like this:

figured as much. Dude has always been squeaky clean and a stand up guy. Lot's of respect fro Vrabel. Brady to Vrabel FTW.......:lol:


"Look at me everyone look at me! I can pretend to be nice about a Buckeye player and still inject some scUM bullshit in every post. Look at me please!!"

No one comes here for the scUM perspective of the world shitstain.
Is BP really that insecure that the mere mention of Brady should send us into a rage?

He was the main participant in Vrabel's most famous play(s) in his entire career.

That might be overstating it a bit. His rope's pretty short but he hasn't quite reached the end of it yet, mostly because it's tough to sort out when he's instigating trouble and when he's merely doing a poor job of trying to defend himself from instigators. If our regs ease up and he continues to press buttons, his stay might be shorter.

So far as the board goes, it's probably best to switch over to rep or PMs after a couple of posts rather than keeping the same stuff rolling in the thread. (Now, perhaps.) The ignore system also works pretty well.

How does one properly respond to a lol emoticon? The very fact he's here is proof of his need for attention and desire to agitate. He chose to be a scUM fan in Ohio just to piss people off and this is the online version of that.


So you weren't referencing that because I called you out vs Mike? That wasn't a "when does Jax have to bite his lip" so he can "make himself at home and just go to town" reference?
I didn't realize you were "calling me out."

I'll leave it alone. You like the guy, myself and many others hate him. He's just here to stir up shit exactly like this, hopefully someone will see that and ban him someday.

Then what is the vehicle for asking to review rules?

Honestly, there should be a review of the guest policy and I think scUM guests should have even fewer rights/shorter leashes than other teams fans. What is the purpose of them being here? Our recruiting experts are better than anything they bring and if anyone is jonesing for the scUM view of the world scUm websites are just a click away. So what is it they do here?

Do people here actually go to scUM sites? If so for what other than to passively read/laugh or to actually stir shit up? What else could you possibly want to do with those people? You aren't going to convince them of anything and they aren't going to change your mind so why talk?

Call me a segregationist but I just don't think the two groups should mix. If they want to come here to read stuff fine but what do we need to talk about with them?

As usual, Deety is much more succinct and powerful. GP IA.
