Where Are The Miree Backers Now?

This took a swift turn for the nerdy

Man, this forum is getting quite testy, isn't it? Harv makes a joke that would've flown at the beginning of the offseason, but now it's considered shameful?

Jesus Christ, people, lighten up a bit. It's like the freakin' Shiites and Sunnis over here.

We don't need any more TT bashing threads. We have enough on the front page, we have enough in the archives. If you think that TT is doing a less then satisfactory job, fine. Say it once or twice and leave it at that. But don't go on about it every other post.

All this conflict over the GM would certainly end if we just brought back Mike Sherman as GM!

I don't even read Harry Potter.

That's because you're too busy raising a family and working a 9-5.

And that's when I'm not working overtime to pay for the electric bills.

I feel like this season's success (or failure for that matter) should annoint one of our forum's contingencies -- either the Turtle-haters or the Ted-supporters -- as the true and outright winner of this forum.

Therefore, if Green Bay ends up being successful or unsuccessful this year (and I will leave it to those of you that are polarized by Ted to determine what the definitions are for success and failure), one group should get to stay at Packerrats and the other should be shunned to wander the bandwidths of cyberspace in search of a new home.

I think at this point it's only reasonable to assume a solution such as the aformentioned will prove effective.

I only ask that the future ruling party take pity on those of us that have not yet made up our minds on the Great Packer Polarization and allow us to eke out a meager existence on this forum until such time that our true feelings on the subject have been determined.

This I humbly ask of ye all.

Interesting idea LaFours, but I'd hate to see forum "winners" or forum "losers" and the resulting fighting on the definitions of success you alluded to. I wish we could just go back to having conversations without people having to throw their agendas around as we all know who feels how on the subject. I also wish we ALL could move a little toward the undecided as it would allow us all to see the others' viewpoint a little bit.

IMO - this is really crappy. quite honestly, you want to criticize when you don't agree, but when a point is made the other way instead of acknowledging it, you want to ridicule it.

This says more about you than the original poster...

I guess I'm confused as to what sarcastic comments are acceptable when you disagree then.

Is it O.K. to dispatch the waaaaahmbulance???

I agree. I don't want to follow my suggestion, but the reality is that this is where we are headed if cooler heads don't interject.

I agree. It's natural to disagree, but it's the name-calling and sarcasm that really does it. It's also the repetitiveness of it. In every post there is a TT bashing.

There's a lot of good posters here, but a few people end up jacking the threads and then it turns into a flame-war.

I think that scary Rat Trap that appeared at the top of the index page is gonna cool things down. Just like the beat cop walking down the street, thumping his nightstick in his hand.

Of course the biggest A-holes are the moderators, that could be a problem.

Or maybe not, sometimes you need cops who are A-holes.

FB is a position that I wish Thompson could have bagged a FA. For instance, like others, I advocated him signing Justin Griffith. I heard that Griffith wanted to go to Oakland, so who knows. He didn't get it done. Hopefully, Korey Hall is ready for primetime.

It's no secret that I'm not fond of Thompson's hibernation through free agency, but the one part of that McGinn chat I was absolutely shocked with when Snappper talked free agency was.....when he implied he offered more money for a FA and then he still signed elsewhere. I thought YGBFKM. Long term for You gotta Be .. Kidding Me. Use that abbreviation all the time.

Anyways, I considered who GB brought in and who went real cheap. And who the Packers really seemed to need. I came to the conclusion that Ted Thompson offered up $1 more than the Oakland Raiders

Seriously, though, I would not be at all surprised if Griffeth was the one free agent we offered money to who didn't want to come here. That was really my only point.


Cheers,

What is the Rat Trap? Is it similar to the GC?

I think membership in the Trap might be a little more exclusive.

Looks like they charge by the hour. Interesting.....

B. So now I can't fucking use his first name? Am I supposed to refer to him as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Mr. Theodore Thompson the First? What would make you happy Harlan?

Don't go changin, SkinBasket, I love you just the way you are. I was just teasing. Call him "Ted", or "Teddy Bear", "Uncle Ted", it's all cool with me.
