Well you wont ever find me on the Skins boards, or any other teams boards for that matter, except when I go to the ESPN message boards to ask a certain team's fanbase about a certain player of interest.
I have been to extremeskins and got banned twice for speaking my views and opinions. I was not being vulgar or verbally abusive, and still got banned. Basically, they were banning any Cowboys fans that were posting, just because they were Cowboys fans. So i just never went back. I have no use for a childish board, and ES is ran by childish mods.
I stay away from the ESPN boards for the most part because they are nothing but trolls...still, when I have a question about a former Longhorn player, I go to the team he is on, and I ask the question. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes I do not.
I do remember one time I got banned by ESPN for using the word muff. I was in a thread discussing the difference between a fumble and a muff. Apparently the ESPN filter just took the word without the context and I got banned. I even emailed the ESPN mods about the context of my post, but the ban remained.
So I dont care if you are over here, or how long you have been here. It is your perogative to be here. Dont act like you are better than other posters because you come to our site and discuss our team and your team, while other posters just read and run. That is also their perogative. To each his/her own. As long as you are abiding by the rules of the site, that is all that matters.
BTW, I can promise you this much...this site has been far more welcoming of you Skins fans than ES has ever been to Cowboys fans. Also, remember how respectful and supportive we were after the Sean Taylor incident....can you say that ES would have been as supportive to us had the shoe been on the other foot? I say no. I say a huge majority would have been highly inappropriate, disrespectful, and classless. It would have been a verbal lynch mob.
You hate us and we hate you.....but the hate is for different reasons. We hate you because of everything your team stood for when we were founded, how you tried to block our startup, how your owner was a huge bigot, how your name is racist and you guys accept it as status quo. You hate us because we the most popular franchise in the world and one of the 4 most successful organizations in the league since 1960....along with the Steelers, Niners, and Packers. You hate that we have had far more success than you.
There will be no excuses come Tuesday...if we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. I don't care if we are limping into the game on crutches, in a wheel chair, or on life support. We are playing Napolean's Army.....and we must conquer you evil racial slurs.
BTW, it makes me want to puke knowing Orakpo has to wear your putrid colors. You guys don't deserve Orakpo. But not even the great Orakpo can make your colors look good....honestly only your gorgeous cheerleaders can.
