Seriously WTF?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Ty, I was in total disagreement with you about the Favre/Min-Pit intrusion into the gameday thread. The first half of our game was great, but damn the second half was boring. MIN-PIT had a good one going so people started watching that. However, your point about picking a "refuge from Favre" is completely valid. I got sooooo sick of hearing about it on ESPN and mass media (exponentially exploded the issue). THat's a big reason I came back here after a few years away: to focus on the Pack. I get now why you were so irritated with it then. There's a lot of non-Packer football that is worth discussing, and I'd rather discuss it with people I "know". Ras as a Vikings fan has had good contributions here since way back on JSO. And both our Bears fans showed up today to take their lumps (not that much was given out, the Bears probably did enough themselves. But the non gameday conversation could have easily been held the conversation in the non-pack gameday thread.

If it is boring, then how about leaving and going to the alternate game day thread and brett vikings thread? I do get that the game was boring.

And, it wasn't just the Vikes, it was SF as well. Ty hates to use the slippery slope, but it was in full effect on sunday. You allow non pack game day talk...and before you know it...it is all talk about other teams.

I'm not trying to be unreasonable. I said updates were ok..even though i hate them...especially Ras posting of Vikes being up and winning. Iron Mike didn't like them either. So, i suggested an alternative.

Favre: Yes. Trying to enjoy a 2 game winning streak...boom...fucking favre intrudes on it. No matter how anyone spins it, favre leaves a sour taste.

Ras/bear fans: I have never called for them to leave. I do think they should be treated as undocumented illegal aliens. We appreciate their work, but keep a low profile or ICE will pick them up and deport their asses.

Ty, I guess I included some in that post that certainly wasn't directed towards you but rather in response to some other posts (not necessarily yours) about who should be here and who shouldn't. My response for you was that I finally understood what you were saying and that the other conversation should have occurred in the other thread.

Re: Seriously WTF?

I used to enjoy coming here and reading every thread and every post. Now I skim so much that it takes just a couple minutes to get through it all. The Packers are 4-2 and this place is a whining bitch fest in every single topic. Yes fine, ironic to be bitching about bitching I get it.

Does everyone just come here with their own specific opinion and agenda to push and throw it out repeatedly instead of having an actual conversation? Do you do this with people in real life of is this some sort of whipping post to vent your daily frustrations?

I'm actually sick of coming here and 2 years ago I NEVER thought that could happen. This place was lively, fun and interesting to read. Now its like I'm sitting in the middle of a fucking sewing circle listening to old bitties argue about which brand of stool softener works best. Stop ruining this site plz thx.

I would like to see more thought put into a post/response. Too many on here just type for the sake of getting their post numbers up or just to say something contrarian to entice a response. If you're guessing , say so. Too many wont do the research to back up their claims. Or generally have no idea what they are talking about, just regurgitating something they read or heard elsewhere.

K.

That makes sense. Though, i still feel they should be treated like illegal aliens. Ty will play the role of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. If they act up....TENT CITY FUCKERS!

Ty is an asshole.

Two things would go a long way here: don't take things personal, and don't get personal in responses. Having said that, it probably won't happen. I am mainly a lurker in the Packer room. As someone once said a month or so ago, I can read some pretty good analysis here and repeat it at work or with friends and sound a lot smarter than I am. But, there does seem to be a lot of drama in here. And it's not even good drama, Zool said it well with the bittie (or however the hell it is spelled) thing.

As for Partial's earlier denigration of the FYI thread, I disagree with him. I think we all do a very good job of self-regulation in there. Everyone seems to know where the line is and we don't cross it. And it does NOT spill over to here. Rand and Ty get along nicely here, but go at it like cats and dogs in FYI. That might be a good option in the Packer room too; a little peer pressure could go along way.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Well, if a conservative assbag like Howard is for keeping FYI, then as a liberal douche, i must be against it.

Kill FYI.

I don't really come here anymore because there really isn't much Packers discussion going on at all.

I just want to talk about the Packers.

In a way you've come to the wrong place, it's more like comedy central.

[ND72]

So I just read through most of this thread.....wowzer.

Besides the fact I only come on here when I get time in my life, which isn't much, I too only skim through now unless something catches my attention...like this.

I do typically only write on threads that are worth it. threads that aren't packer related, or are just dumb, I just check it, and move on. i've gotten good at ignoring the dumb posters....I'm a teacher, I deal with dumb chatter all day. (for this school year I teach only at-risk students).

There are some people I think that are a detriment to the site. I think the Favre situation has made things worse. However, I don't see it all that much different than before. I think it's natural for a forum to grow stale over time--like relationships, jobs, video games, whatever. This site has grown a bit stale. More than anything, we need a good finish to this season. I think that would cure a lot of what ails the site. Then, we'd have less focus on Thompson vs. Favre.
