    We can have a meta-discussion on bashing but it extends past just the topic of he-who-can't-be-named and the grouping of principals involved. And that's fine. It's not like that hasn't been done several times with no result. The discussion should not even exist in the Packers forum and I think that if we're going to have the bashing discussion over again within the context of a polarizing figure and an internet crush, the discussion should at least be moved to the RR or the GC.

    Last I checked, also, this was a public forum. If you guys wanted to have your private discussion on the morality of bashing there are ways to do so. There are those of us who have had this discussion in the past at length and those of us who have been up all night tending to a fussy baby and wanted to post their feelings without expatiating at length regarding the fact that they feel that:
    a.) a case can be made that this discussion should indeed take place in the Favre thread;
    b.) the morality and bashing discussion has been had with little effect, much to the frustration of those virtual Spinozans among us and
    c.) this one thread starts off with very specific principals in the example and there is an interaction history of said principals. the OP has been at times less than kind to other posters that lack certain anatomical features, going so far as to post and say extremely offensive things about them.

    So forgive my purposefully obscure posts but color me skeptical regarding the actual motivations behind this thread.

        If it's not a Favre thread (despite the fact that the first word in the title of the thread is Favre), shouldn't this thread be in the Romper Room?
        Hey Joe, did you read the discussion we were having or did you just read the title?

        In any case, it was a discussion between me and Snake. The discussion was open to anybody with anything worthwhile to contribute. I was hopeful that any contributions would actually be worthwhile to our discussion. So much for that.

        And yes, you are correct. This thread should go into the Romper Room. Admin, please move it at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

          So forgive my purposefully obscure posts but color me skeptical regarding the actual motivations behind this thread.
          First, you are right, this thread should be in the Romper Room. Snake made it last night, Admin hasn't been on to move it yet, and I am commenting on it. Forgive me.

          Second, it wasn't a private discussion. It was open to anyone with anything worthwhile to add. Like I said, if you have anything worthwhile to add feel free. Otherwise please stay out of it. The forum may be a public one, but the subject matter was fairly specific - if you bothered to read the discussion, that is.

          Lastly, I understand your point about the original post. It took me 30 minutes to divert the focus away from Favre and onto where it really belonged. I never wanted to bitch about Favre. I simply wanted to make it clear that bashing Favre is perfectly okay, that Favre doesn't need his fans to stand up for him. That there's absolutely nothing wrong with those type of posts so long as personal attacks on the poster stay out of the rebuttal. Same goes for support of Favre. So far, even in this thread, there haven't been any personal attacks on any posters, pro or con. So I don't understand what everyone is so worked up about. Nobody insulted you. Nobody insulted anyone. What's the big deal?

          If a minor annoyance is all this is to you, simply click on another thread you'd be more interested in. And if anybody else has anything related to the subject matter they'd like to say, feel free to do so in this thread. It's not that difficult.

            End your sentence there Brandon. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

              Leave him alone! Can't you see he has enough to deal with being on the cover of SI? Do you know what that means? DO YOU?

                And that's a big reason why i won't visit those sites! I don't have to agree with a poster to appreciate them.

                      As a Packer fan, I cannot root for the Vikings to do anything except career ending injuries to key players. Second, I am in the minority here in that I think the Packers bent over backwards for this guy, kept him a year too long and respectfully sucked it up as Brett went off like a teenage girl all over the press. I don't blame him for wanting to play and play for a good team. I wont be cheering for the guy ever again.

                            Stated it more than once...Packers are out the playoffs, so it's time to root for some Brett. There are few players (Jordan, Montana) Snake has admired in his short life, but Favre is definitely one of them. Guy is pure adrenaline and amazing to watch (IMO).

                            I'm sorry to see so many bag on 007 over it, lately, as I agree with her, Favre is a once of a lifetime to see/watch and is still fun to watch now that the Pack is out the playoffs.

                            Go Brett, I'd love to see him keep up his amazing season at 40 and win another SuperBowl. I never get tired of seeing that guy play...and fucking amazing he's one of the top 5 players in the league at 40. Get over the bitterness folks, he's gone, we have a great young QB (Arod)....so just enjoy the legend that is Favre. He's great, and fun to watch. I hate Peyton, so I hope he gets his 2nd ring over that guy (and will be a fun SB to watch).

                            Really, it sounds like a bad breakup..but I'm sure most of you Rats have had a good relationship (Favre) turn sour. You were bitter (maybe), and met someone else great (Arod). Did you keep hating your ex? I hope not, so let it go. We are happy (Arod), and he's happy (Favre). I don't get the whole hatred/severe bitterness. Favre didn't make us lose against the Cards....and I don't advocate you have to cheer him on, but quit the hate for those us that enjoy seeing him play, yet.

                            We are never going to see another player in sports for a long time as fun, charismatic, and engaging, and as good as Brett has been as an NFL QB for a long time. I don't look at him as a traitor, but as a dude that wanted to prove himself and did in spades (as he was traded) to a shithole team, and now has a chance to redeem himself. He's demonstrated that he's still MVP worthy at 40 at the toughest position in all of sports. I respect the hell out of that.

                            Hate 007/Snake, etc. but quit hating on the fact that the dude is legitimately one of the best athletes of ANY sport all-time. He's amazing and electrifying to watch. You never know what you are gonna get, and blew away what I (a Brett fan) thought was possible at 40 in 2010. I give him props. He's still an MVP (best season he EVER had at 40) and might play till he's 50. Tough SOB for sure and Snake's favorite player EVER by far. I can't get enough Favre....and hope he plays for several more years. Just stop being so bitter. Damn, it gets tiresome.

                            The dude (Favre) has fun in that recent "Pants Down" video and that's what it's all about. His teammates like him (I like him), he wins, puts up crazy stats, and is must see TV. What else is there to say? For those bitching, get over it. You had your chance whining he was done 5 years ago to get rid of him, now that he's elite (MVP worthy) for a rival, you rear your ugly heads. Stuff it. Dude is a legend, deal with his awesome sauce. Stay true or stuff it. I bet most of ya haters love the shit out his HOF induction whenever he retires. Regardless, it makes me sick that so many hate on him as a Vike/retirement, but hung on his every move as a Packer. Give it up. The dude is great, still elite (top 5 player) and fun as hell to watch.

                            Quit the fucking bitching/bashing and enjoy history in progress. You won't see another QB of his stature/winning ability/physical prowess again anytime soon. Rare breed indeed. Amazing player that wills teams to win and is SO fun to watch....Peyton is great (for ex.) but has no charisma (could care less about the guy). Favre = winning (maybe not playoffs/SB's overall) but you always get the opportunity to win. I'm sure some jackass will try and pick apart/statify the wins, but that's what is it about. His team's believe in him (and that makes him an MVP any year he laces it up). He's this side of Michael Jordan for leadership on any sport team. That shit is uncoachable. That is why Snake is a Favre fan. You always believe you have a chance to win. Well, the Vikes have that now.

                            Go Brett...Go Brett. Get that 2nd ring.

                            So what's the problem? Sounds like you guys that hate on Brett lately, are all salty he's doing it with a rival? So what? The Pack (TT) didn't want him and moved on? We did well with Arod, so get over it. Quit acting all bitchy about it. Makes you look like that emotional wreck of an ex that can't get over the best guy they had finding someone else. Who cares what she says (Favre in this scenario)? Move on and enjoy life. I've had exes move on and didn't hold it against them...esp. when I was the one doing the break up. Sounds like some of ya have some bitter shit craving your ex. Sad. Get over it. Not saying you have to enjoy seeing your ex doing well, but if you have a good relationship (ARod) why hate on the former? Get over it and move on.
