Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 04:33:01 PM
It doesn't exactly take a psychology degree to recognize people being horrible to each other. You're the one who is doing a full analysis here, and a pretty feeble one at that. RAFO's not exactly the place for me if I want to get kicks out of being anonymous, considering that two of my closest real life friends frequent the place.


No one was horrible to each other. Enflamed emotions after a game. Some replies. If this were the non virtual world, G, BG and I would now be waking up after drinking ourselves silly in friendship and fun.


I felt the need to reply because you and Ghav are implying that BG was the only one out of line and you edited merely because she did. I don't like the result of the edits, where two people get away with being vicious/childish and one person looks like the bad guy.


Because I made a lovely reference to a movie. And I mentioned "irrational female hysteria". Even were that out of line, BG and I both edited our responses. We got over it. Quickly. At that. She realized she went over the top. I edited my replies.

There is no "getting away". What there is an intelligent, adult woman realizing that her emotions after an excellent game got to her. This happens every day to adults on the field and off. And she got over it. And so did I. And so did Ghavrel. And now everything is fine. It was dead. But you're not happy. Because people were momentarily mean to each other and "got away" with it. That's life. People say things in the heat of the moment. And then they apologize and get over it. There is nothing childish about this. This is adult life. Get used to it, too, btw. The World Cup is coming up. And more near to it, the Winter Olympics. Passions will be inflamed. Words will be exchanged. People will live.

Poor thing. Looks like your children could use some time in those dirty swamps. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:21 AM 828 Views
Jesus christ I'm sorry, that was uncalled for ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:23 AM 788 Views
Yeah, well, sucks to suck. Not our fault we're better. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:56:06 AM 885 Views
Since she changed her reply The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:59:36 AM 855 Views

And I love Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 02:13:00 PM 443 Views

As do I. But I was referring to the book! *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:49:25 PM 441 Views
What the hell, people. Lupine - 08/02/2010 03:31:09 PM 793 Views
Dunno, what is it about the anonimity of the internet that makes people like you The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 956 Views
lol Lupine - 08/02/2010 04:20:52 PM 726 Views
Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:33:01 PM 897 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 827 Views
Not entirely sure what you mean, since I didn't edit any of my posts. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 08:24:07 PM 1172 Views
I'm the one who edited two replies The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:34:45 PM 731 Views
It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 883 Views
Listen, you're uptight. You were looking for an argument/fight. Not quite characteristic of you, but The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:54:26 PM 1031 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 869 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1058 Views
I disagree, Ghavrel, about the sexiness. Its very alpha-male. And very hot. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:55:29 PM 734 Views
I'll bear that in mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:38:57 PM 406 Views
No worries. I admit to having had fun with you. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 05:01:33 AM 409 Views
That is horrible fan-sportsmanship. You should be ashamed. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:46:58 AM 451 Views
Sorry Chorabliss, I shouldn't have replied when I was angry ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 04:52:52 AM 833 Views
No worries. *NM* The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:56:45 AM 434 Views
And I'll be the first European to say this... Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:11:03 AM 733 Views
Oh I thought you were gonna say... ironclad - 08/02/2010 03:43:59 PM 895 Views
Nah, it was fun. Also, see my reply below. *NM* Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:44:27 PM 438 Views
I guess I'll be the first Australian to say this then Colonel Logain - 08/02/2010 03:16:08 AM 724 Views
Yup. The onside kick was a ballsy call and blew everyone away. *NM* everynametaken - 08/02/2010 06:47:54 AM 340 Views
it was a really good game until that interception moondog - 08/02/2010 10:42:09 AM 655 Views
They are world champs. Animosity - 08/02/2010 04:00:04 PM 1023 Views
There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 870 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 761 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 814 Views
I don't know I think the talent difference is great enough to justify the title random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:33:03 PM 697 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 796 Views
You make a good point (as does Legolas as well) Colonel Logain - 09/02/2010 12:39:04 AM 809 Views
I never hear Super Bowl winners referred to as "World Champions". TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:47:48 PM 756 Views
Wish I could be on Bourbon Street tonight random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:19:10 AM 669 Views
That interception... I have no words. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 04:23:53 AM 458 Views
Yeah that was pretty cool random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:47:11 AM 864 Views
Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:13:09 AM 866 Views
i wouldn't call it choking per se... moondog - 08/02/2010 10:36:27 AM 708 Views
I disagree. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:44:52 PM 854 Views
I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM 838 Views
True. Sareitha Sedai - 08/02/2010 03:59:14 PM 872 Views

Re: Exactly... who would have thought that Peyton Manning would choke?? callandor1000 - 08/02/2010 11:31:34 AM 805 Views
I don't consider it a choke. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:49:17 PM 419 Views
Yeah I should rephrase that BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 06:03:23 PM 885 Views
Excellent Game. Two thumbs up. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 06:01:39 AM 418 Views
my only complaint moondog - 08/02/2010 10:38:43 AM 834 Views
Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 859 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 796 Views
Well, he did match the record for completions in a game. TaskmasterJack - 08/02/2010 05:51:10 PM 774 Views
It's not quite that bad BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 07:38:04 PM 735 Views
