Why Is Everybody So On Edge?

[john van brocklin]

Bunch of old men posting here on the site.

A Good portion of them are balding which is depressing after years of having a beautiful head full of hair.

Most do not care for this time of the year when it is colder and it causes the old arthritis to make the joints hurt.

Some have some kids in the neighborhood that are constantly running on their property so they have to open the door and yell out....STAY OFF MY LAWN!

When they have to drive somewhere they have to deal with idiots going slower than them and maniacs driving faster than them.

As Bob Seger sang, todays music aint got the same old soul, they just need that old rock n roll.

Your favorite sports team poops the bed in the playoffs and you are now just waiting for the draft.

And last but surely not least...



Many sit too long in front of the puter and their Hemorrhoids flair up.

Are you a stand up comedian ?
That post was classic !

Dam fellas, I jump on her to scan the threads for any news updates from the day and almost every thread is just a dick measuring contest between posters and its like that in almost every thread, regardless of topic.

Be it about Dak, Zeke, free agency, the salary cap, NFL honors, Michael Irvin, Jerry Jones, the SuperBowl, the Eagles, team building, the draft, the coaches, etc...

It instantly turns into nothing but one poster or group of posters going after another poster or another group of posters and stuff like "you aint a real fan, you are stupid, you are a miserable hater and I cant imagine living my life like that, go find another team, Dak sucks, no Dak is the greatest, Moore was the entire reason this offense was good, no he wasnt you are just a Moore jock rider because you hate Dak, the Eagles are the blueprint on how to properly build a team, no they are not, they just got lucky and you are too busy riding their jock to realize it, and on and on and on........

If somebody does not agree with you, it doesnt mean they stupid, they are not a "real fan", they need to go root for another team, they are a hater, they have a miserable life, ect. Everybody here is a Cowboy's fan and wants to win a SB, we just all have different opinions on how best to accomplish that goal and yes, that can sometimes be different from your opinion or how you would do things.

Can we at least have some civil discourse and debate without the personal attacks and insults? Maybe I just need to take a break from this site for a while until things settle down, I am sure somebody will respond, "yeah, get out of here you fake fan", LOL.

Yep, you nailed it. I am not on here near as much anymore. Don't need the hate.

 

[Hardline]

Things would go a lot better around here if everyone would just take everything I say as gospel.

It was actually the cheerleaders that were calling people losers and saying posters weren’t real men. Some even doubted posters military service. Same 3-4 are usually the issue. Your comment doesn’t help a thing. See Bobs post

So it was the Homers that were saying we werent making the playoffs and that the Cowboys couldnt win a playoff game?
It was the Homers crying that because we lost Cooper that the offense would be at the bottom of the league?

Right! And I bet I could name those 3-4 posters. They know who they are also.

It's not just here, it's everywhere. We need to good war to take everyone's attention off the little things they find annoying.

May be sooner than you think

My response was to the petty comments and personal insults that were causing the issues yesterday and that OP referred to.

I could really care less about that. If you want to talk football let me know.

It never settles down. They were saying we sucked after the first game and they kept it up through 13 wins.

I see a lot, too much, of "I don't post here as much or I don't come here as much" to which I say BS.

This is as much your forum and my forum as it is the ones that want to be negative and create a toxic atmosphere.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."....Edmund Burke

Are you going to just give up, let the ones that want to create this atmosphere have their way? No one said this was going to be easy, it is your forum, fight for it with positive attitude.

Hey, you are just as responsible for keeping this place sane and enjoyable as they are for what they try to create. And some come for that express purpose, trash the forum because they don't like the Cowboys or their fans.

I have a proprietary feeling about this site, just as I did the old DC.com, and being a moderator has nothing to do with it. I'll be damned if I am going to let anyone rain on my parade because this place is important to me. The members are important to me. And I depend on you to fight the good fight because this is a great place to gather.

Do not let the few ruin it for the many. There are too many quality members here to just give them any power.

And as usual, I should post my disclaimer about feeding the animals. Those that come here for reaction and to disrupt are the animals, don't feed them and they'll go away. They thrive on the attention, that is their food. Starve them out.

yes, if someone really gets on your nerves put them on ignore. And for some just ignore their posts, and dont respond to them, or argue.
if they are a troll they want you to respond so just dont.
I dont really see a problem here.
you can choose what to read or respond to.
Start your own thread with specific topic and rules. let mods help enforce those rules.

Kinda started during Covid and hasn’t went away. I completely agree!!! Good post!

Because nobody here actually has to face my fists. So they can say whatever they want knowing they won't enter the storm.

 

[Jake]

Are you trying to say everyone is like Michael Douglas in Falling Down?

Yeah, I'm not coming around your place, your scary and sort of freaky.

I'm gonna send my dog in first, then I'll come in and clean up your wounds then we can talk.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Because grown men take losing football games way too personally. I used to be one of those guys. Not going to spend the off-season dwelling on the Cowboys for being who they are.

Gonna enjoy some hockey, college basketball, the Masters, and baseball here shortly. Just bought tickets to several baseball games. Can't wait.

I like your guitar, but dog...
War...what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again...!

We need peace to keep the little things going.

[SloMo_Joe]

I chalk most of it up to 28 years of frustration and disappointment. Can't yell at the source of the problem (Jonses') so most regrettably take it out on each other.
