First off, I don\'t demand special respect for being a m0d. I could care less. I can still carry my weight with or without m0d "powers". However, I think Ryu\'s point was that it has always been a general idea to respect those select few more so than others. That\'s not a problem tho\'.
The problem is the personal attackin\' goin\' on in this thread. Shock, you was simply acting childish. I understand being upset. Hell, I would of been upset if the Niners would of lost, but I wouldn\'t go around cursing you. Espically over something as trivial as a simple football game . It is childish. You complain that Owen\'s is childish but you are doin\' the same thing, in my opinion.
I don\'t think Ryu was giving a life lesson either. I think he was simply pointing out the overly obvious. The way you acted was not proper, espically in these forums.
As for the actual game. I agree with Vapor. The Giants blew it. You can blame it on whatever factor you want, but they lost a huge lead in the second half of the game and that is because Niner\'s had a better team on the field.
And let\'s face it, you\'re upset because you thought The Giants had a sure win, espically durin\' that first half. Now you\'re positive that The Bucs will own the Niners - how upset are you goin\' to be if they don\'t? Maybe they will, maybe they won\'t. If they do, I sure won\'t get on here and start cursing everyone who has a different opinion than me. Why? Because I realize ITS JUST A FRICKIN\' FOOTBALL GAME.
Like I said earlier, I had a lot more respect for you. I didn\'t see you as the type to get on here and start cursing at other members over opinions. I guess you learn something new everyday.
-shrugs-
LIC, as for the personal stuff, I was simply angry, and reacting with anger. I respect what you said about mods and admins, and I agree with it. I also respect you, as a member. I guess you just said something that happened to rub me the wrong way at that time, and I reacted. Once again, nothing personal, I would have done the same with anyone else. And I won\'t take anything that happened here out of this thread either. I never do. I only hope you\'ll do the same.
As for the game, yes, the Giants blew it. I won\'t deny that. Like I said, I blame it more on Shaun Williams than any other individual. Sehorn, the entire Giants pass rush, and others deserve it too. We did blow it. It\'s just that the Owens crap doesn\'t help.
As for it being just a game, as people have said, different ones of us take this stuff different ways. I know of certain others who have reacted this exact same way towards me, on these boards, after games. I just don\'t take it this same way. It is nothing personal. Some people are going to react like this, especially after a game like that.
I am not positive that the Bucs will own the Niners. I think they will...the Bucs were my pick out of the NFC, and I sure do want them too, but if they don\'t, that\'s not as big of a deal. You won\'t see me reacting this way again for a long time, because there isn\'t anything in sports that could get such a reaction from me for a while.
As for you losing respect for me, I\'m sorry if you did. I guess you did learn something though. I post the way I would talk to someone in real life. That happens to be the kind of state of mind I was in at the time, so yes, that is how I reacted. Like I said though, I won\'t take it out of the thread. That is what I\'d like people to see about me.
Ryu: Showing you respect is one thing. Posting differently around you is something completely different. I\'m not going to post differently around such regular members just because of some position they hold here at the boards. If someone says something, I\'ll respond to it, no matter who they are.
I too hold endless respect for Bjorn and Richie. If it weren\'t for them, we wouldn\'t be here afterall. But hey, all though they do pay the bills, who gets that money for them? It\'s the visitors to this site, who click on the advertisements. You have to remember, a website is a business. The people who post here are your customers. That is how you have to treat this.
