I think thats his point. How can someone let their lives almost get destroyed by something over message boards? They're dumbasses, thats how and they get too worked up over stuff said by people online. I can't imagine letting something said on a sports message board effect your personal life.

Then you obviously did not live through the board wars.

Perhaps it is a tale that needs to be told ... a tale worth telling even. A cautionary tale of how the Internet has ruined many a life, and damaged others. Of how, even in sports, fan bases can do harm to their own cause. Of how coaches can be ruined, players ruined, innocent bystanders harmed. Families hurt or even destroyed.

It is a true tale but one so ugly, so contemptible, it might be best not relived.

Karma kickbacks are a bitch ... and Gamecock Central and its owner has one huge karma kickback coming its way one day.

In the meantime the guys over at 247/The Big Spur have risen above all that. They are very decent people. It's best to just let nature take its course over time.

In the meantime, if we all learn to stick together in public, and keep family matters in here, we'll all be better for it in the long run.
