Larry Fox5 said:The real issue is that this thread has been totally infected by a plague spreading to every other discussion here. You can't even leave a simple comment without getting hit by an invasion of trolls—all of them acting like they were personally insulted and needing to explain how the world works through their warped little lenses.
You guys tolerate restlesssurfer9 just because he’s got some connection to the mods—even though in ten years on these boards he hasn't written a single decent post about actual football—and then you give permanent status to Zec, who's basically the ultimate expert in his own mind. I honestly don't get the logic...🤷
Now that you brought up Zec, I gotta tell you, your entire history on this forum looks way more like his than it does mine.
You both hold views that frequently fly in the face of basic common sense, you both walk around acting superior to every other user here, and it's painfully obvious that while you might be well-versed in certain trivial facts about the soccer world, you don't actually understand the game itself very well at all.
The way Zec absolutely dismantled you during that debate about whether Bale might move to Real Madrid—man, you don't see that kind of beatdown every day.
The simple fact that you aren't even aware you were being brutally torn apart tells us everything we need to know about your grasp of the sport. Don't sweat it, you aren't the only one; this tendency to mistake knowing trivial trivia—like what Klopp had for dinner or how many times he hit the bathroom after breakfast—for actual football intelligence is a pretty common thing among hardcore fans. Anyway.
Anyone who has followed feralgardener36’s body of work will have a hard time finding any real similarities between how they write and how I write.
Zec was just a massive attention whore whose whole existence on this forum boiled down to finding a crowd he could argue with just to drive them crazy. The topics didn't matter, the opinions didn't matter, all that mattered was being contrary to everyone and trying to provoke them, and by the end of his career, he’d gotten pretty good at it.
It has absolutely nothing to do with my posts.
But like I said before, we actually have a lot in common; you also show up in a ton of threads looking like a complete alien with takes that defy elementary logic, and your online persona is so stubbornly resistant to any kind of influence from other users that it honestly reminds me of Zec—you remind me of one of those hard rubber bouncy balls you toss into a room that just smashes into everything, causing chaos everywhere it hits, while remaining totally unaffected yourself.
All in all, I know you aren't going to accept a single word of what I've written here, and I know that any intelligent follower of American football forums realized what I'm saying a long time ago, so this is basically a totally useless post on my part, a pure waste of time, but hey, my fingers just started flying across the keyboard. Nobody's perfect. ☕
ps. This conclusion of yours, that I have moderator protection, is basically the perfect summary of your entire presence on this forum; that one sentence says everything about your understanding of the topics you're trying to discuss. That's just who you are.
