You were a good friend, and I will miss you.Polo just randomly followed me on Twitter. So I got that going for me, which is terrifying.
Oh come on you know you going to miss all the banter you two had, what with it's racial undertones and all.
Racism!!! Reported!!
He's making a strong case for worst new poster.Now we just gotta get everyone to complain about MattyIce and we'll be good to go.
Gahdammit, I need more +1's to hand out. DAMN YOU QUOTA!He's the villain Husker Board deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll report him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our toll. He's a newb, a fresh fish. A future banee.
huskerboard needs a better class of villain. and i'm gonna give it to them.He's the villain Husker Board deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll report him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our toll. He's a newb, a fresh fish. A future banee.
The problem I have with this ^ is that it often runs counter to this...If one person has a problem with you, the problem is between you and that person. If a few people have a problem with you, it's possible the problem is you.
When a large number of people have a problem with you, the problem is almost certainly you.
...(I got thrown in there too). You say if a lot of people have a problem with you, you're the problem. Well, that's what happens when you're the diversity you mention in the first post - as Polo, myself and a few other were in regards to Pelini for the last couple of years. You'll notice my posting days have pretty well ended, I'm one of the last few left. When you've got the majority of the board berating your opinion it gets old Positive or negative. I was one of the biggest Riley supporters early and got nailed for that too. Is it any shock that eventually polo started to take it over the line? He couldn't post here anymore without being attacked. Sad that he's gone now that Riley is in - i would have like to hear his opinions throughout the season as I'm sure he'd contrast to the Pelini years plenty which is going to be kind of interesting discussion in the near future. Ahh well, another one banned for an opinion that runs counter to the herd. I'll prolly be in there soon too, can't last long unless you conform.I +1'd this, but I'll disagree with you on this board valuing diversity. We do. We don't all agree on everything, and everyone that disagrees with "the majority" or "the board" (whatever each of those means) isn't banished.
There are a LOT of guys here who disagree. I disagree with skersfan on a lot of things, and he's a wildly popular guy. I'm a wildly popular guy, if rep points mean anything. But neither of us are banished, and each guy's opinion is valued.
Hedley is another example. He was best known for being the antithesis of what HuskerBoard stood for. He weathered the storm, he's still here, most every one of his posts are +1'd now. He's bona fide, even if his opinions run counter to the norm.
Hunter94 is another example. kchusker_chris is another. Heck, True, you're an example. There are lots of people here whose opinions don't conform to some norm. Who a lot of people (me a lot of times) disagree with. But none of you are banned, none of you are being forced to change your opinions, none of you are persecuted for not following some "norm."
