View Full Version : Sorry that I acted like a douche on the board yesterday

I am just not the type of person that should ever be posting while my team is playing and engaged in a hard fight with a rival team. Furman really pushed us hard and to tell the truth I just wasn't ready for that. My expectations for Wofford and that game were way too high and unrealistic- after all we play in a tough conference! And my comments on the board in the game thread that I started were juvenile, stupid, and false. I get crazy during the heat of competition sometimes. I love my program and want to see them succeed so badly. But I know Furman loves theirs equally as much. Sometimes I need to just step back, breathe, think, and get some perspective. I will no longer be making posts while Wofford is playing a game though. I feel like I made a total *** of myself yesterday, and that's not the way that I want the AGS community to see me. I will post when I know I have my head right!

Didn't see it, but the passion for our teams is one of the reason most are on the board. It happens. On to week 7

Furman brings out the worst in everything:)

I generally comment on game threads not involving Wofford, as emotions makes us say things which are easily taken out of context when read as text.

Don't feel too bad, look at some of the ASU posters during the Citadel game.

It should be noted that the word "fan" is short for "fanatic"....

If you got rid of all the fanatics on this board, there would be crickets...

If you really wanna see douchebaggery on AGS, just read any of the threads featuring supporters of Georgia State or The University of Chapel Hill at Charlotte...

Never apologize for acting like a fan. We all are fans. We all have passion for our own teams. That is why we are here. Just realize that some opposing fans may not like your actions. But never apologize for cheering and supporting your team.

Why on earth would anyone ever feel compelled to "apologize" to an internet message board?

For crying out loud, who cares if you pissed off some people on the internet. It's not like you're ever going to meet these people in real life. These people aren't your friends.

As I know from experience:

Because, every once in awhile they come to your game and seek you out. And, you'd much rather have a beer with them than have to put down the keyboard to defend the tailgate with fists, ol' buddy.

Some might not give a rat's butt what people do on the internet but what you do on the internet is an extension of yourself. If you are an *** on here you are an *** in real life as well. It just comes out easier on here because of anonymity. But if some one realizes they went off about something and wrote things they should not have written on a forum and choose to apologize to their online community it makes that person a better person not only online but in real life as well.

Most people have social graces whether they are on the internet or in person. Most people have a code of conduct they follow so they are nice whether they are are on the net or not. Most know the difference between right and wrong and feel compelled to apologize when they feel they were in the wrong. Notice I said most. You dont fall in to that category. Obviously

That's a very interesting point and rings true especially if you take message board relationships or yourself too seriously. Personally I don't because I think the internet and written messages are very different than REAL conversations and relationships. I also think many people use their internet identity for release. Whatever floats your boat.

But if a dude feels better for emptying his conscience on here... that's ok too and probably healthy.

I have always felt if you arent willing to say something face to face then dont post it. Mean what you say and say what you mean. I dont think it comes down to taking one too seriously. It comes down to accountability and credibility. Its like Ive told kids---anyone can act good while you are being watched. The question is how will you conduct yourself when nobody is watching. If you dont have credibility you dont have anything. IMO of course.

Ahh...but that's what I think is interesting about the internet and anonymity. People will tend to be more expressive than they would be in person. Some of them are willing to show their true thoughts more. And that ain't a bad thing. In a way, it's more honest. I don't know where you live but it probably isn't close to Cheney, WA so we may never have the opportunity to say something face to face. Whether someone is full of **** in person or on the internet, I'm not going to judge either way. In fact, people who are full of **** are some of the most entertaining people I know.

I was in Cheney for our game with you. You guys had some good food at the concession stands. Dont find that every where.
But-----back to the topic---posters who are full of--------- are different than those who are asshats for the sake of being an asshat. The majority of posters I would love to tailgate with. Even those full of it. The asshats can stay away if you get my drift.

Well it's too bad we didn't have this conversation then, because you would have been invited up to the tailgage for a beer. I try not to be judgemental in general. Especially based on what someone posts on a message board. But again, I don't take what someone posts on a message board seriously.

I have no problem with asshats...as long as they know their asshats. In fact, they are some of my favorite people.

Okay the two areas that you went wrong on are underlined and in bold face.

I have met many posters both from AGS & Bisonville. I do care about how I present myself online and will rarely say something online that I would not say to a persons face. Regardless your comments were out of line. So you don't care if you come off as a douche that is your choice. But the person who started this thread did and wanted to apologize to anyone he may have offended. Kudos to him for having the nads to do so.

I have a very different perspective on the nature of message board interaction. I've pissed off more than my fair share of people on GeauxCowboys.com and ForkemDemons.com over the years. Oddly, the guys that I've fought with and argued with the most are some of the folks I would consider myself "closest" to now online. Case in point....I used to rag the Northwestern folks unmercifully through the years. Two guys in particular, HoustonDemon and Ghost82 used to waste absolutely NO opportunity to respond to what I'd post and to tell me off in no uncertain terms...Some of the exchanges got kinda ugly and personal, LOL! But, somewhere along the way, they realized I was just having fun and now they've become bona-fide friends. When I started doing my charity fundraising, my ride just happened to be on the McNeese/Northwestern game weekend the first two years, so guess who became two of my biggest donors? Yep, the same two guys who couldn't WAIT to trade insults....Both of them are into the charity now for over $600 each, and one of them is over $1000 now...and these are guys who freakin HATED me online! But, we've had beer at tailgates (not recently, mind you, since I've been riding on game weekend, but that's beside the point) ;)

And then, here on AGS, there's the Rev, with whom I've disagreed and argued in chat. I gave SFA a major ration of **** after the fake cramping episode against Texas A&M, and I believe the Rev and I butted heads textually over that....but guess what? This year, he's helped raise more than $2k toward the charity that I'm involved in...

Hell, NoDak4Ever and I are about as diametrically opposed - politically - as you can get. He donated to the ride twice and even kicked in a NDSU tee-shirt for me to wear...

So...there ARE very real people on the other side of the keyboard...

The feeling of being empowered is a false sense of security. All that leads to is a coward shooting his mouth off when he knows he cant be held accountable. In the end it hasnt served him well because hes still a troll- loser hiding behind his keyboard. Sad if you ask me.

If you actually went to NDSU games, you might meet some of the people who post on here.

Also, I have tailgated with KingKat99, Bearkat-Backer and some of the others who run the Sam fan site, and some of them I consider close friends. It's a shame KK went to Sam, but we all can't be perfect.

Would our election system be better or worse if there was a website that anyone could login and lookup how anyone else voted on any particular item or office?

If you say better, that's fine and that's your opinion.

I agree. He was a douche yesterday, and hasnt apologized for that, how about some consistancy? Or, If youre gonna be a douche again after you apologize for being a douche, why apologize at all? Just keep on keepin' on with your douchery. Everyone expects it from you anyways.

I agree. He was a douche yesterday, and hasnt apologized for that, how about some consistancy? Or, If youre gonna be a douche again after you apologize for being a douche, why apologize at all? Just keep on keepin' on with your douchery. Everyone expects it from you anyways.

Figures a woffy fan would have to be all prim and proper, even when being douchy.


Good points. I shouldn't have apologized for being a douche to a bunch of douches! It's kind of like the pot apologizing to the kettle for being black. Believe it or not, I am really not programmed to be a douche. Some people on this board just bring the douchbaggery out in me though.

And for you nice folks here, once again I am sorry I have been and will probably continue to be a douche here. Maybe one day we'll get together and I'll buy you a few beers to make it up to you.

PS- I've been called a lot of things, but prim and proper has never been among them.
