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",

Just stop being a douche bag. It's not hard.

Nobody is telling you that you have to believe everything is sunshine and rainbows but quit posting the same negative shite over and over (you even quoted yourself several times).

If all you are going to do is bash Mizzou or Odom then why even post here? It makes no sense. Head on over to the Rant...you'll find more like minded people there.

Bashing Mizzou is not cool. Bashing Odom is alright with me because he had no head coaching experience before he got the job, fricked up our defense, failed to recruit well, and he was hired by an AD with one foot out the door. He's pretty much just like Kim Anderson. I try not to bash on Odom too much on this board though. My fellow Tigers don't appreciate it, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm in full on melt mode.

Calling people sunshine pumpers, no matter how nicely put, is still calling people sunshine pumpers.

Which you are entitled to. I also acknowledged that the post referenced talked of a coming "nut shot", not an attack on a poster. That's an opinion you are entitled to.

As I said in another post, we all take jabs at one another and that will happen. If that is ALL it becomes, then it becomes an issue. Continue proffering (legal term for ya) constructive stuff and it's no worries.

I will take your word for it but if you have a JD, you can understand that we don't know that to be the case versus an alter from another school. Hell, I could be an alter. But when ALL that is spewed is negativity, I think you can understand why some would question.

Beyond that, you just do you.
