DV for a Dawgnation brother who lost a loved one during the holidays last year... SMH
Why, on earth, did you DV that comment? Was it disdain for "little high school cliques?"
If you are banned it will not be for disagreeing.
Give more detail
It's easy to get someone up in arms when that person is weak of mind.
Got it. However, calling someone out over their consistent annoying stance doesn’t necessarily mean weak minded. It just means people are tired of it.
Get his a.s.s out of here now, we don't need nor want the negative nelly mofos in here!!! He's just here to stir s.h.i.t up.
It's easy to poke a wasp's nest with a stick.
I'm not for sure who you are calling weak of mind, please elaborate more!
Guess it was the smart way for that dip s.h.i.t not to respond.
I figured it was the smart way not to get more involved in this internet argument, but I'll go ahead and respond since I'm being insulted. I assumed that my statement was relatively easy to understand, but I didn't take into account the weakness of mind in those reading it. The point of trolling, i.e. whatever @ugaforever is doing, is to rile people up and get a reaction. Trolls think it's funny/satisfying to piss people off and make them respond a certain way. It's called "triggering", and it's quite funny to the immature. People who see through these kids' intentions don't give them what they want. Ignore a troll, and he'll eventually go away. After all, what's the point (for a troll) of spending your time DVing someone's comments if there isn't ever a response? People who are too foolish to see the purpose behind trolling give the trolls exactly what they want. These people get upset and triggered by trolls and make a big deal out of it. This is why trolling exists: to laugh at those idiots. Obviously everyone can agree that @ugaforever is acting like an immature child by trolling, but some other users on this forum have encouraged him by making a big scene out of it. At this point, it's obvious that the troll has gotten exactly what he wanted and probably had quite a few good laughs. "Calling people out" and "defending yourself" is the justification that some users have cited for doing this. Unfortunately, having you "call him out" is exactly the attention that he was looking for. This is what trolling is about. The Smart Way to handle a truly unbearable troll (which actually doesn't describe @ugaforever ) would be to privately message a mod.
In review, I think anyone who gives attention to a troll is foolish. In light of that, I choose to no longer be involved in this argument: it's more of exactly what a troll would want.
I agree, which is why I didn't respond until I was called a dip s.h.i.t. for not responding, lol...
Ok I got you. Yeah man I’m not on here to start no crap with ANYBODY, seriously that ain’t the type of person I am. And I’m sure others really aren’t either. But my old man always taught me to never back down from nobody, especially when they put you down. I know that point is kinda hard to get across on here, but y’all get what I’m saying. All I wanna do is get along with everybody I can, talk about some amazing uga football, and drop in for some inside recruiting scoops. Conversating with others and sharing our football thoughts and ideas is freaking awesome. That’s what this place is all about right, and I absolutely love it. $hit just gets interpreted and twisted easily here on the internet sometimes, and the record just needs to be straightened out. Truth be told, we’re all fellow brotherhood here (except for the trolls) with an insatiable appetite for our dawgs. Am I right? And yes there are times we’ll all eventually run into a slight disagreement here & there with others. Fingers will get pointed and tempers will start flying, that’s just the nature of the beast. And I’ll agree I’ve probably sounded like a hothead at times here lately, but frankly it takes a whole lot of poking to make me blow my fuse, and you’re right, the troll finally did it. I’ll just try to bite my tongue a lil harder next time. Cheers...
And yet you felt the need to input your thoughts into the situation anyway.
Also, I hate it that it relegated to name calling, but didn't you get on here first and start calling people "weak of mind?" I don't think that pedestal is as high as you think it is.
I shouldnt have called you that and I apologize. I didn’t understand why you felt the need to call us weak minded. Guess I felt insulted and handled it poorly. We all know what he is trying to. With all the censorship on this board you would think admins would control trolls better.
My guess as to why he isn’t here anymore can be summed up in this thread. Every single post turns into a kiddy fight over a comment or a soap box tangent on DVs.
Let’s make this board great again
Hmm... the more recruiting heated up to the first finish line, the less he appeared. Too busy with his day job? Or maybe corporate HR found him, sigh
I shouldn't have insulted some of y'all originally, my bad. I thought it was funny at the time but now I see that I was contributing to the negative attitude. Let's move on.
Dilly dilly.
Thanks and water under the bridge. Merry Christmas!
Why do y’all care about DVs so much? Goodness.
Ive been wondering the same thing. This thread has become embarrassing. I hope the MODs delete it.
