If I didn't want an overflowing PM box from OP's B & M'ing, I would have merged every single one of the Ben threads

Sorry, didn't mean to kick your puppy when expressing my thoughts on this.

There seems to be an abundance and high percentage of negative posts from a certain member that often has a rude tone in response to other people's posts that are heavily peppered with and the personal excessively used favorite of which is dismissive and rude in itself.

Some members want the negativity and bitching to stop, yet people are ironically being bombarded with negativity and bitching from this person because they aren't up to positive snuff.

There seems to be an ongoing fued about people bitching and people finding it ironic that their bitching is being bitched about.

How about we just all play, and I'm not referring to you, a little nicer and let people say what they want to say without having them being dismissed or categorized?

I apologize HTG if I offended you. But that's how I feel about it. Just my

It's human nature, and it's OK ..... really!

Relax.

It's called sarcasm. "What ifs" aren't what I have the problem with. What I have a problem with are people who have tried, sentenced and convicted Roethlisberger before he's even been charged. I didn't realize I had to draw a picture.

Deep breaths.

My breathing is fine thanks, and it doesn't come off as sarcasm at all.

Sorry if I'm reading you wrong, but as I've stated above, the way you come across in your posts is often rude.

Again, I apologize if I'm getting this wrong but that's how my eyes see it.

Ummmm, according to a poll here the majority aren't convicting him of anything other than putting himself in a stupid situation to where this has become a story.

I don't need a picture drawn but maybe you do?

Yeah, that's why I see so many threads and posts saying "Ben needs to go!" Hell, the thread you mentioned was started with that very sentiment. Like to try again?

Sure. See that snitty attitude you have. It's typical of you - which is my point.

And in that mentioned thread didn't I just state that the majority of fans felt - I believe somewhere amongst the like of 5 in in favor and 50 not - to not convict the guy yet?

Of course you are going to have some fans that take it way to far, but this isn't the only thread about you that I'm referring to so it's irrelevant.

Your infect the majority of your posts in ALL THREADS in which you choose to post here, therefore I find it hypocritical for you to come at people with those sentiments with the highty attitude of being above it all.

Nice lecture in the same patronizing, condescending tone you accuse me of infecting every thread I post in with.

i hope we dont get to the point where any discussion of big ben on a steelersboard is outlawed.

much like arians was, it is a popular topic right now, and what the majority wishes to dicuss, ( though i understand a messageboard is not a democracy).

however, the fact that a thread on the steelers current salary cap only gets a single response shows a finger on the pulse of what is the most interresting topic lately.

not even a single mention if randle el is worth the $2 mil salary he was brought back for.

even discussing the draft is pretty much a back room topic.

maybe we should all just talk about getting rid of steeley mcbeam or bringing back cheerleaders (i.e. something EVERYONE can agree upon)

[fansince'76]

Or maybe we can just hypocritcally bust on all the "cheerleaders" around here in our own "clever" little social groups.

Snitty isn't really a word.
