What did it smell like?...., and did it attract the fishes?

We tossed the idea of a separate board before and it was posed to be for politics. It never happened and that's cool cause it ain't my board but some of the reasons of not having a no holds barred place to slug it out were pretty good. A few questions......

1)Why give people a place to be out of line on the keyboard that wouldn't do it face to face. Would that lead to face to face fights?
2) That kind of freedom would have to be a members only board approved by a moderator or process because young eyes don't need to see grown men acting like spoiled rotten little kids. The words and accusations would get out of hand for sure.
The political stuff was bad and it worked itself out....can't the players who are in this UK and UL battle clean it up? I mean really???? Are there any of you with kids who would want them to see how you act? It's like watching some kids say yes it is...no it's not.....yes it is....no it's not over and over and over.
The idea of don't read it if you don't like it is crazy. It's like watching a train wreck ....you can't help but watch the carnage.

Looks like you learned alot from your vacation. It's already starting, I guess I need to vacate this site, to much BS for me..

You and me both. I guess I will be on facebook more now.

The truth

[psprowler]

I guess we as UK fans are supposed to sit back quiet like a chuch mouse and watch post after post after post of garbage and half truths put up on the board about UK Basketball and not respond, REALLY

You do have the option to not respond. And if you didn't, things wouldn't change. Uk would still have 7 titles, uofl 2, and iu 5. I don't know you, but I know you and redneckshadrap are friends. I know Billy and if you're friends with him then that tells me you are an alright dude. With that said I don't like to see you get all worked up about this. Now if Internet banter is your thing then disregard. I just know if I typed out the lengthy responses that you have on some of these threads it means I'm fairly worked up. It's not worth getting riled up over.

FINALLY A VOICE OF REASON is heard in the midst of all this insanity. Thank you, Don!

p.s. I voted for a separate board for sports. Now if we could get the sports section of the Louisville newspaper included, we could all read it for ourselves and get it "fair and balanced." (Note to Peter, jk jk jk).

IMO there is no need for a separate board, an additional place for moderators to moderate, and all the jazz that goes with it...

This is the "Off Topic" board...where you talk about anything that aint fishing. You can NOT click on the thread here just as quickly as you can NOT click on the thread in another forum. The whole "it's cluttering up the thread list" argument is weak. If you go creating a separate forum for every topic that is popular you'll forever be creating new forums.

Don's exactly right about the train wreck effect too...you know you're all reading these posts waiting to see what Elnut's crazy ass is going to say next, or what is going to spew out of Mills, or what Tim T is going to tee-off on...and that's just the sports stuff. You're also clicking the fire out of the political links to see who is going to piss in who's Cheerios next. It's like that drunk uncle you've got who always shows up at the Christmas party and pukes in Grandma's front porch ferns. It would be a whole lot more "proper" without him there, but by God he's family, and Christmas just wouldn't be the same without the drama. Let it alone. It's what makes an Off Topic Forum entertaining. If you want to kill it and make it all go away, start busting it up and micro-managing it. It'll become as vanilla and boring as the Lawrence Welk Show around here. Trust me.

Now, are some going way too far here lately? Yep. A case of Message Board Diarrhea, or "The Cyber Runs" as it's known on the street, has left a couple nursing a little bit of toilet paper rash. They will eventually get put on permanent vacation....or, just like a deep UofL NCAA Tourney run, it will eventually flame out and things will get back to normal.

Maybe that is a good idea. Set up a separate sports board. When want to talk and read sports just go there.

Sounds like a GREAT idea!

Sure, glad to reply here because my joke was on the public forum and some of the guys might be curious. I took a little teasing jab at Bill O'Reilly and FOX who sometimes overuse the words "Fair and Balanced." As for the comment about including the sports section of the Louisville newspaper, we all know that would be either a virtual impossibility or prohibitively expensive. I included the jk jk jk to let you know I was JUST KIDDING.

If you would like, I will respond by PM to any other information you would like for me to provide.

How can you even say the word Liar and Fisherman in the same breath about Woody.....

Fishermen are the greatest liars in the world.....if there was ever a place that you should question anything you read, it would most definitely be on a fishing forum....

Bass Pro Shop's slogan is, "Welcome Fishermen, and all other liars"

This is so STUPID. people fighting/trashin/name calling, getting mad that someone dosent like UK/UL of Bugtussel U. I commend people for supporting the teams of their choice. but the aruging, bacbitin and childish behavior from grown men, this is FUNNY, that is what is funny, just watchin some get all bent outa shape cause someone called your team someting, or say they ****,or whaterever. Funny thing, these teams/coaches/etc they dont care about you as much as you do about them. UL/UK/ we have more schools than them in KY. Funny how true. It is funny.
