It's good (and I mean this sincerely) that people can keep their humor after a loss.
It goes without saying that I hope everyone here is balanced enough that words between fellow OSU fans after yet another tough loss would never actually translate to some sort of real life physical altercation.
I hope it goes without saying that it shouldn't. I also hope it goes without saying that if ANYONE wants to discuss deeply personal or intimate issues with one another, then they should do it completely off the site. I can't speak to what people say to one another over email. But doing it on a site I'm responsible for creates the potential for really problematic issues. Issues that could not only kill the site, but put me personally into an uglier set of circumstances than I'm already in. Something that is at present, blissfully difficult to imagine.
Everyone on this site is responsible for their own words to be sure though. And EVERYONE has the ability to tune other users out. I don't mean you just blow off their posts, I mean you add them to your ignore list, and you don't even see their posts.
This is a wonderful, but painfully underutilized tool. I can only wish they had something similar for our brains. Imagine having watched the national title game, and never having heard Dan Fouts speak a word. Or watching a halftime show, and not seeing or hearing Mark May. Oh he's there, and there are comical pauses when Trev is staring at or responding to a void on the screen -- but in your own little personal world, Mark May has ceased to exist.
4 clicks and a few keystrokes gets it done. That's a cheap price to play for lower blood pressure, less stress, and the potential for even marginally longer life.
