Not that it makes you all look wildly insecure or anything, honestly.

Fun, really, that's all it was. Something to tweak the fans of the other teamm. Seems to have worked with the amount of complaining the FSL fans have done about them. I mean that's really the whole point of a fan's involvement in a rivalry, to tweak the other team's fans.

Hell, the Washington Huskies are obviously superior to the Wazzu "Now a dray campus!" Cougars, but that doesn't stop me from putting up the No Cougars logo in my cube Apple Cup week.

Hey, here's one. What's the only sign of intellegent life in Salt Lake City?

2. Do not retaliate unless you are able to withstand the retaliation back.

If you decide that you want to “attack,” “defend,” or “stand up” for your particular point of view, just remember the other person is going to as well. If you participated, expect an answer in return. If you don’t like it, stop responding.


It is my belief that you will never change anyone’s mind on a message board unless the person is open to the idea. You will never sway me from my point of view. I will never sway you as well. No one ever wins an internet argument.


On this subject, and a reminder, there are also “trolls” who try and get the board riled up. You can either choose to respond to the troll or ignore her/him. Just know if you respond, you’re playing right into what he/she wanted you to do. You can either play along or just ignore it.

yeah, the above post is for Jason as well....

jason, if you make fun of Utah, RSL or the fans...expect neg rep....if you complain that you are receiving neg rep....expect more. If you want to play catan, be our guest. If you want to "stir the pot" don't complain when we stir it back.

I've got no complaints about the neg rep. I just think it's a little silly to see a bunch a people going thorugh and negative repping every post I've ever made, including non-troll informational posts announcing voting for the Rocky Mountain Cup, Rocky Mountain Cup auctions, etc. I'd personally draw the line at just neg repping troll-like posts, but if people want to spend their time neg repping all my stuff, that's no skin off my back.

I'm still wondering why people think it takes more than 1 minute to neg rep anyone? This isn't rocket science people.

Whatever frosts your cookies, I guess...

I'd personally rather wear tapered-leg jeans than wear even some ghettofied Rapids logo, personally.

Ahhh, tapered-leg jeans. The late 80's were awesome.

Acid-washed tapered jeans of course!

I think the Loyalists (-jules) and the RCB are doing a pretty swell job as well.

I'm still wondering why you have so much positive rep! Consider yourself lucky.
