I mean...I thought we were in age anyway lol......I know some of these 40 year olds have the mind of a child...but I assumed in age we were all adults lol.All adults??? Rocy, you are definitely day drinking today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one heckuva good post!!!The simple examples are too easy. It is the gray areas wherein lies the can of worms. What one person finds as a joke can be insulting to another person. I will give you one example which I found quite funny today. Someone started a thread about a player and another person responded with a facetious (I am guessing because I can never know true intent) response like 'Great thread, Bro.' It put a smile on my face because I know these two people from their posts and it makes the site interesting. It is that playful banter. Now one person could see that response as disrespectful (I am sure this person did not in this case), just using it as an example. Good luck trying to police thought and intention.
I can just as easily attack, insult, and disrespect someone using back-handed compliments and being facetious. We all can. And sometimes it sure is funny. Now, some people can take things too far. What is too much and what is too far is the big question. We all know it when we see it.
Growing up as a kid while watching The Jeffersons, I always wanted George to fire that maid since I thought she was insulting the boss and being disrespectful. Now, I find it absolutely hilarious and the show would have been not funny without her the way she was. I worry that we may take away some of that playful back and forth.
I actually find the terms such as 'Dak-lovers,' 'Cult of Dak,' 'Zeke fanboy,' 'Jerry Lover/Hater' as funny. Maybe some don't. I find George Carlin funny. Some don't.
My cousin was overweight. A cousin-in-law told him one day that he was fat. They were very good friends. My cousin was initially hurt by the remark and felt insulted. He thought about it, truly looked at himself, and said, 'yeah, he's right. I am fat and need to lose weight.' He lost weight and thanked him later for telling him the truth and providing incentive. Negative feedback can lead to a positive outcome. In a similar manner, I appreciate all the feedback, more so the negative than the positive. The negative humbles me and tells me how I can approve. The positive can just inflate ego if allowed.
Basically, no one here can truly insult me (try as they may) or disrespect me because my filter does not allow for that. I control what insults me and disrespects me. Now, hurt is a different animal than disrespect and insult.
Appreciate the thoughts. It can be hard to tell sometimes to differentiate between insults and sarcasm. None of this is an exact science and none are perfect at judging it.The simple examples are too easy. It is the gray areas wherein lies the can of worms.

World's goin' to hades in a handbasket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I mean...I thought we were in age anyway lol......I know some of these 40 year olds have the mind of a child...but I assumed in age we were all adults lol.
Yup.A few lately? Sames one's different days.
If you're stupid and you insult me
So you're not buyin' it?UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVEABLE.......!!
Gotta say, I love your Grady Jarrett quote. Maybe that's why Aaron keeps flopping in the playoffs.UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVEABLE.......!!
Who's Grady Jarrett?Gotta say, I love your Grady Jarrett quote. Maybe that's why Aaron keeps flopping in the playoffs.

Yes, using juvenile, immature terms to label someone who you disagree with is in fact name calling.

Sorry, but calling someone a ‘hater’ is not name calling. There are people here who are Jerry-haters, Dak-haters, Dak-lovers, those with DDS-Dak Derangement Syndrome, JDS-Jerry Derangement Syndrome, Zeke-haters/lovers, etc. Even a few Garrett-lovers, strange as that may be.
If someone calls you a hater or lover or whatever, laugh about it, have fun with it, wear it proudly if it suits you.
If it bugs one so much and one’s power of self-ignore is not strong enough, there is the ignore button. Control what you can control - yourself, not other people.
Like I said in previous posts, I like the negative feedback and the sometimes salty and witty comments.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. No one here has any sticks or stones but some people seem to still live in their imaginary glass houses.
Someone put ‘numbnuts’ in as my name. There is a story behind that. It is hilarious. I love it and wouldn’t change it. Every time I notice it, I smile. Have some fun. Life’s better that way.
I mean with all due respect to Bob he should not have to be "Cool" because some grown men can't make a point or defend their point without resorting to attacking him...The Zone could use more @Bobhaze '. I've seen him bashed, harrassed & called names. Bob kept his cool at all times. Nothing but class.
Some accidentally misspell names/words & right away the forum cops come out to judge that person's grammar as if they have never done the same.
Tiny keyboards is the main culprit & younger members is the other. Nobody's "stupid, a jerk, idiot, clown" more than the person making those accusations. Keep those comments to yourself because it doesn't make you look better.
^ BoldBut the best part is to see how seriously some take this, it never fails to entertain me when some poster takes on another over a player neither has ever met. The Romo stuff was a lot of fun. He was either family or had taken some poster's woman and then we get to follow that up with Prescott.
I guess that depends on whether the person you're saying it to thinks of himself as a hater. If so, then no, it's not name calling.So calling a hater a “hater” is name calling? I thought we were all adults here?
