74Hunter

[zoogs]

Ever since the Riley hire, 74Hunter has been incessant.

I'd like to and did believe it was genuine at first, but then I'm remembering his admitted trolling on Armstrong, another posting campaign of his that he did only because of what he perceived as unjust posts about Martinez in the past.

His stance now is this:

What I'm saying is in the next 2 years anything less than 11 wins per year, a B1G championship, and a spot in the playoffs should call for a coaching, AD, and chancellor change.

...and he's been railing on Riley non-stop in every thread, including the thread for a new recruit offered by the incoming staff.

I don't want to limit opinions, but if it's not genuine, it's trolling. However, there are also posters who share some of Hunter's opinions who probably do feel that way.

It's pretty polo-esque. But different. In what seems like a worse way. Polo wanted to rally people to his cause because he thought Bo should be fired, and Bo's job status being a talking point was a natural carryover from 2013 (as tired as the talking was). Hunter (and a few others) want to rally people to their "If they don't win big, fire Eichorst, fire Perlman, fire Riley" cause just because. I'm not sure if we should indulge him in using HB as his platform for this. But also not sure we should do anything.

Anyway, I'm thinking the next time I have to move 70 posts out of one thread on (largely) his behalf, he might get an extended posting break, maybe 30 days. And if he comes back with the same tune, he'll get a longer one...and if he comes back with the same tune after that, maybe a ban. Thoughts?

Totally agree with this, and with your last paragraph. He did openly admit to trolling about Armstrong, and this anti-Riley (et al) stance is exactly the same rhetoric. Polo actually apologized after Pelini was fired, saying he knows he went overboard this past year.

I've already PM'd him (much like I did with Polo, with Hedley, with wifi, with FLU, etc) about not doing this payback trolling stuff:

We're not going to have the same thing in every single thread. If you don't like the hire, fine, but griping about it in every single thread won't fly.

We didn't allow it for the Bo-leavers and we won't allow it for people who don't like this hire.

His response:

Yeah, i saw Polo's act enough to know.

But whatever

It's funny what's allowed to fly around here and what isn't, and whom is allowed to do what.

That conversation was from last Thursday. He hasn't let up since.

He hates me cause I suspended for a few days for blowing up on me in a game day thread. I told him then, maybe he should root for another team and he flew off the handle. I agree with you zoogs, getting old.

Completely agree. Remember, we suspended Polo also, and he conformed - he stopped derailing threads. He kept up his tirade, but he did it within the rules. This seems different.
