Yeah, I'm keeping an eye out but he didn't attack anyone there. It was an attempt at negaTiger humor but he didn't name call. Many of us talk about the kicks to the nuts.

Having said that, if every post is just bashing Mizzou, I don't see the use of that either.

Hello Reedus etal. Well it appears I have touched a few exposed nerves. As no pain was intended, I regret any hurt feelings. I know some will always see what they want to see and that makes them feel good. My intentions are not to cold heartedly make them feel bad by casting potential shade on what otherwise would be their sunshine drenched view.
I have done my best to not personalize my post and have never cursed or used provative aspersions as some have (Ex. The previous "STFU" directed towards me) nor have I retaliated in kind to someone because they disagree with me.
Some may say I am negative. Perhaps I understand them feeling that way albeit not completely accurate. If something is good I don't twist it too be negative. Example being the positive things occuring with the BB program. However, as a rant board there should be some acceptance of views/comments that run contrary to the positive company line.
I use my prose/metaphors as a way not only bring some balance but also a form of a cathartic way to also protect myself from falling down that all too personal rabbit hole my long time MU fanaticism would naturally lead me to. It is my sincere hope that my "balance" may in some way alert a few and hopefully be not only just an accepting fan but one who knows it can and should be better. As true fans we should require it and know it is deserving.
One last analogy, Say you see a loved one/best friend whose partner is mistreating and stepping out on them. You know they must/or should see all the past actions as well as the current signs but their heart won't allow the brain to process so as to see what is really going on. What do you do for this person you really care for? Perhaps some will just mind their own business but some will speak out in hopes of curtailing the harm. Well I guess you can call my "neg" the latter option.
I have been a true MU fanatic since 1975 and an alum since obtaining my J.D from U of M Columbia in 1988. I will still feel the way I do, but in an effort to not step on exposed toes I will make a concerted effort to avoid saying "there is no Santa Claus",
