if trotter leaves.......

I'll just say this-
I'm all for differences of opinion, and I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. That is indeed what makes these boards fun.
Also, all of my posts to this point have always been positive, and I've praised several of the moderators of this site.
But several of Matty's answers to my posts came off as curt and short. I don't mind someone disagreeing with me, but I do mind it if they are a smart ass to me.
How can any statement that begins with "quite simply" not be interpreted as smart assed, I ask you? Doesn't that imply "heh stupid, the answer is pretty simple?"
And I'm not the type to take that lying down.
I overreacted with my previous post and for that I apologize, but I do not think I was wrong.
In any event, I do appreciate the work you guys do for this site, and it is a great site.

Raleighskinsfan,

You are stoopid. I mean, letting your emotions get the best of you like a chick.... Maybe when you read Matty's post it was just your "time of the month!"


:iamwithst

We all disagree and put each others posts down all the time. That part of the fun. Just give it right back to them. All of us (MattyK72 included) sometimes make dumb posts. Don't sweat it, just learn to laugh about it.
Ade Jimoh Fan Club has the best sense of humor on this site. His prior posts about Ade Jimoh are LOL funny.

Thanks for that defensewins. You're right.
And ouch Ade Jimoh Fan Club! That one hurt. The truth always does! I'll keep it in check in the future. That was very out of character for me. I usually keep a very cool demeanor.....

Note to self, never start a post with "quite simply" ever again.

What other smart-assed answers have I given you here, Raleigh? I'd really like to know.

did you ever think Heath Schuler would be a sucess, it turns out thats a pretty smart ass anwser. heh

Been out of touch for a while but figured this was a perfect time to jump back in.

Bashing Matty's post is ridiculous. I've been a member for years going back to the Yahoo days and if anything I've found Matty's posts to be TOO diplomatic at times. I generally agree with all his posts and I respect the way he gives his side without "calling anyone out". He also usually backs up his points with reasons so if you do disagree with him, at least you can understand where he's coming from. All in all I think he's a great moderator (along with the others), and we should all be grateful for the dedication he (they) has put into this site.

The whole point of this board is to read different opinions. That's how you learn. I know personally I've changed my view a few times after reading what others had to think. If we all agreed on everything there would be no point.

Take Daseal for example. He would rather have Spurrier than Joe Gibbs. This is one of the most ludicrous statements I've ever heard in my life. But I LOVE Daseal's posts and would sorely miss them if he were gone. He's a great devil's advocate and makes us all step back and look at things more objectively.

I think the Warpath is the best board site out there. The fans here are very knowledgeable and more importantly very respectful of each other's views and posts. Take that new guy who could barely spell as an example.

So I urge everyone to chill and enjoy. In case you haven't noticed Joe Gibbs is back. I've been smiling for months and hope I never wake up.

Now I'm gonna go find one of Daseal's posts so I can bash him. :smashfrea

GO SKINS

Mattyk-
The one about Trotter was the one that really angered me. But basically, every time I began a post on this site, I would get responses that agreed and disagreed with me, which I had no problem with. But each and every time, you disagreed with my position. Again, I have no problem with that- we're all entitled to our own opinions. But not only would you disagree, you would put in some quick, short statement in the tone that "it was a fact" and my opinion was ignorant. I had no idea what I'd done to piss you off so much, but the Trotter "quite simply" remark was what sent me over the edge.
Can you explain why you would say something like that to me or what I said to illicit that remark?
I have never, nor would I ever ridicule someone's opinion like that!
Whoever reads this can call me paranoid if they want, but I know this was the case.
In any event, you, me and all of us have better things to talk about. I aired my grievance and got it off my chest, now I'm done with it. Any and all can hate me if they will, but I only stay quiet for so long when I feel I'm being dissed!
So Crazy Canuck, I don't feel it's crazy to bash Matty's post. And I think, if you've read any of my other posts, you'll see I'm not some arrogant touchy ass. But I totally agree with you. Gibbs being back is like an answer to my prayers. I'm ready to just accentuate the positive from now on!

It's all good Raleighskinsfan.

If you felt dissed then you have the right to express your concerns like everyone else. It just seemed to me that it would be out of character for Matty to target anyone personally that's all. In any case I'll leave the resolution up to you guys.

And I agree with your notion of accentuating the positives from now on. Luckily we have a lot of positives to choose from!

You just have to attribute it to the "youthfulness" of this board. Most of the ages shown are quite frankly, half of mine! So I guess that makes me an elder statesman! CrazyCanuk is, well, crazy! But knows figures! Matty is, well, glued to this site, and is and always has been an up front guy! Plus, he's the one with the $$$, and I for one appreciate this forum to no end! The only one that will be voted off this island is Ade Jimoh Fan! Well, he will right after HOF Coach Gibbs cuts him, and then, I'm sure will change his handle! LOL If he somehow makes the team, (I doubt it!), then I will still "post" back at him.

I appreciate Daseal, SC, Boz, Defensewins, SkinsCanes, and all the new and old posters! This is just like talking to your friends at work, home, school, or wherever, and getting a different spin on what is going on! We cannot have the same opinion, because we each have different noses, and therefore, a totally different perspective from one another. But this forum feels like family, and I mean that in the sincerest terms. I feel I know you after you post a couple of times!
