  Instead of constantly crying and bitching about everything take a step back and examine yourself. There are plenty of posters who manage to post here fine without causing problems. There are posters who used to cause problems but have for the most part changed their behavior to be more acceptable and are no longer at odds with moderators all the time. You are one of the few individuals who refuses to accept the fact that the problem isn't all the moderators but the way you interact with others.
  
  Your idea that you think laley is the new "me" highlights this perfectly. It's always the mod's fault that and never your own. Grow up.

  Right. It couldn't be the over zealous moderators that EVERYONE, not just me, but everyone complains about. Keep your head in the sand though; that seems to be the modus operandi for the administration around here.

With the warning you all could have moved it to the basement and explained to him not to start threads like this in other forums. You leave the door wide open for sleeper and others that like to start crap. All they have to do is say they are a fan of said team and if you infract them then they have all rights to raise hell about it.

  Even by your whiny standards, this is a major stretch. Now excuse me while I go to the Pittsburgh Pirates thread that I started and repeatedly infract myself for saying less-than-charitable things about the team I'm a fan of because of how they've choked down the stretch this year. Lol.

  Yeah or we can just be adults here and handle some criticism regarding a team that someone may not like. If Notre Dame is terrible, posting that they are terrible is not trolling because its true.

  By the time we are done, all we will be able to post is "What did you have for lunch today?" which could be what Justin wants all along. :thumbdown:

  Life is subjective, deal with it. Ive already admitted that if you didnt start that, it probably doesnt get moved so quickly. You have a history, not my fault there.
  
  And I didnt move the thread. I have probably only given out about 10 infractions and warnings since becoming a Mod.

  Typical. Deal with it. Yeah, that'll bring on the new members. :rolleyes:

  and what does this have to do with the 'B1G being terrible' again?
• WebFire

  We could start a thread about how the ACC sucks (in 2014 or so). Of course, it wouldn't be talking about Notre Dame, since they don't play football in the ACC. Even though they'll represent the ACC in bowl games. So I guess we would be talking about Notre Dame, but we wouldn't since they aren't in the ACC. But wait, they play bowl games as an ACC rep. So...
  
  See how dumb that is?
  
  At this point, I can't tell if I derailed the thread or not.

  You really seem to take ND to the ACC personally.

  No. I just think it's dumb. My opinion that I'm allowed to have.

  It's my opinion that your jimmies are rustled.

  It is dumb for the ACC. Take solace in the fact that Notre Dame will never win a bowl game.

  Be honest....Notre Dame go 12-0 and you would discredit it and say they are terrible. When ND is having a bad season, most of the ND fans on here have no problem admitting it. So, it's just unnecessary to continue to drive home a point that most don't disagree with. Jury is still out on them this season but regardless of their record you will continue to say over and over again that they are terrible, awful, etc.
  
  Stating your honest opinion is one thing and being an overly obnoxious ass is a whole 'nother.

  If ND goes 12-0 and wins a BCS bowl, then no, I would not discredit them. That will never happen though, so I will discredit them.

  Along with saying how they will lose their BCS Championship/Bowl game since they have never won one. It would be epic.

  Well they never have so your point?

  Apparently so terrible that some irrelevant team that never wins anything ever is a hotter topic of conversation than they are...even on a thread designed to explore their terribleness.
  
  Now that's terrible!

All Notre Dame has to go by is their BCS beatdown at the hands of....the BUCKS and the fact that every year is a win if a student doesn't die during practices. So yeah, we do expect wins and it's warranted. Whereas you should be expecting mediocrity.

  
  Multiple big Ten titles? Sweet.

  I think what the ACC should have done is make it so ND plays 8 games instead of 5 in the ACC and then based on that record could compete in the conference championship. Would be a much better decision IMO

  If you are going to go that far, make them be a member. Otherwise, what's the point? Why is that fair to all the other teams in the league?

  All this BS ends on Sat night when with 00:03 on the clock, down by 5 scUM is on the Potato Eaters 2 yd line, Robinson dives over the 2 gap and scores but hits helmet to helmet with T'eo and both of them are out for the season with severe concussions...everybody wins!
