re: Tide Football Thread in honor of TidalSurge

What I find inappropriate, and this was my initial point, is anyone thinking they have the right to control or stymie conversation just because they don’t care for the subject. So a post was made with a link to an article about certain players on the team and the subject of article happened to be about the Muslim faith, which isn’t necessarily a common topic, but it isn’t unusual. Then someone made a comment about the article and that comment also included comments about the Christian faith, again not necessarily a common topic, but it isn’t that unusual and certainly not something so out of bounds that deserves some dipshit trying to police comments.

The difference is the first post was a recently published article about characters on the team, and the reply was some rando's personal feelings against a specific religion.

I don't see anything controversial about it. I didn't editorialize at all. Posted no opinion. Just the article. Not my fault if people can't handle the simple existence of different perspectives.

I'm also not gonna fill up pages arguing about it so that's all I'm going to say.

So because I would prefer the topic of Tide Football, not get derailed by religious arguements and instead keep that talk, which has nothing to do with Tide Football, in the off-topic area makes me the internet police? You you attacking me for stating my preference makes you nothing more than a hypocrite, doing the exact thing you are whining about, being the internet police. If you feel noone should tell someone else what opinions they can post, why are you telling me I can't post my opinion that a football topic should remain a football topic?

I'm not trying to control the subject. The subject of this conversation, Tide Football, is in the top part titled Subject. I would just like to stay in the actual subject. I didn't go to a Subject titled Christian VS Muslim debate and try to tell people to talk about Alabama football.

And my comment wasn't meant just for the person I was replying to, it was meant for the whole board. I post from my phone, I'm not sure how to reply to multiple people, so I replied to the last person who posted.

Look Ramadan, it’s pretty clear you didn’t just state a preference, you went beyond that. I don’t really care about your preference, none of us should care about your preference or mine or anyone else’s. This is a board where everyone should get to post whatever we want, especially in response to another post or linked article, how hard is it to understand that if you don’t like something then just browse past it.

Let's leave religious discussions out of football threads. There is an O-T lounge for that. No good ever comes from online religious debates, especially ones that challenge other people's faith, and the last thing I think anyone on here wants is 3 or 4 pages in the middle of the football thread that is not about football.

I think it’s pretty clear, your post said let’s leave religions discussions out of the football thread, but you don’t seem to comprehend it’s a football related topic. I really don’t see how you can miss the connection, the article was about football players on Alabama’s football team and the response was related to the article. That old saying that reading fundamentals are key to comprehension really holds true.

In any case you shouldn’t act like your preference is more important than others and you shouldn’t assume to speak for the masses, it’s the off season, lighten up.

Notice how the thread title says "in honor of TidalSurge"?

He'd be having an aneurysm right now with your continued long OT rants. This is not a board where people can post whatever they want, and this thread specifically has more rigid discussion guidelines, that have been decided on by the community, over years of managing it.

Some OT discussion happens, it's natural. We've all played a part in that I am sure, but we all try to keep it minimal for a reason.

I'm obviously contributing to that right now so this is my only post about it but it clearly needed to be reiterated again.

You are such a dumbass, you can’t comprehend the simplest of ideas. It has nothing to do with anyone’s opinion, it has to do with you determining you get to decide who posts what.

As for your bag of dicks idea, why don’t you sack them up and meet me at Sonic.

Clearly I’m terrible at communicating. I don’t care what religion the players are, but I do care about people trying to stymie other people’s speech and ideas.

I’m just being a smart arse Alfie. I know what you’re saying. I pissed Surge off a few times with the same stance.
