bigboydan · 12-02-08, 02:14 AM

We'll be here when you decide to return sir.

ZBOIZ · 12-02-08, 02:16 AM

Wow Hoop!

I actually enjoyed bashing your Trojans.

Well best wishes

englishmike · 12-02-08, 02:17 AM

Solid poster, loves a tear-up.

RogueJuror · 12-02-08, 02:26 AM

you provide a view to the games, that helps

i don't care about presentation, we are big boys

happy x mas

Deuce · 12-02-08, 02:29 AM

All bullshit aside, ace, I hope for the best in your life. Often times posters get caught up in shit on the board, I never take anything to heart, I would reach out a helping hand to anyone that needed it. This includes arch nemesis' like Dagger and Gold.

hoopster42 · 12-02-08, 02:41 AM

bbd,
ty kindly sir

zboiz,
i'm not really a usc fan, i actually like n. carolina hoops and foots, i just thot the trojans still have a shot, if mizzu beats ou look for sc to pass texas even tho ppl think texas will go, it would suck for the 'horns but they would get screwed again, haha

mike,
i love british folks, stay kool

rogue,
mutual respect buddy

deuce,
youre a good man

i'll give a final bump to this in the morn so in case anyone missed and would like to drop a few comments, good or bad, they can do so

MickChunky · 12-02-08, 02:42 AM

Best wishes to you 2 bro, hope to see you back soon

VegasDave · 12-02-08, 02:55 AM

I respect this a lot.

This forum is a crazy place. Lots of cool people, but there are some real downright nasty people, too. Its hard sometimes to keep a level head and take the high road.

Most people say nasty and mean-spirited things with either a) no regard for how the person they are gearing their comments towards might be affected, or b) a true intention to hurt the person. It is really low, but internet anonymity seems to fuel this in people.

To realize that you are becoming something you do not like and to actually do something about it takes a lot of balls, and I give you a ton of respect for that. You never did anything to me personally, but I still just wanted to give you props.

Hope you find what you are looking for this month.

dwaechte · 12-02-08, 03:14 AM

Yeah I have to say I respect this as well. Ive done the same things you describe, particularily with you, so Id like to apologize for that. Best of luck in the real world.

SBR Lou · 12-02-08, 03:58 AM

It's all good, Hoopster. We all experience some blood boiling in the heat of discussing sports from time to time, just the way the forum world works. Your opinions are valued.

Bread · 12-02-08, 07:06 AM

This thread is just adorable.

GL to you Hoops.

Shark79 · 12-02-08, 07:10 AM

Crumbs ... why you up so early?

Shark79 · 12-02-08, 07:15 AM

Hoopster! Hope to see you soon

Enjoy the holidays!!

Chi_archie · 12-02-08, 07:39 AM

a rare introspective moment on the effects of posting...

Hoopster, initially you rubbed me the wrong way for sure.... But I thought you had dropped some of the ego-manicism in the past weeks and even admitted you are wrong a few times.

no doubt, you know your sports and this board benefits from your insights...

Do whatcha gotta do, hope to see ya sooner rather then later

Good luck

best wishes to everyone

Alot of your problems would go away if you realized that your not the best capper on the board and that you never will be.

Just be a soldier like 90% of the people on here are.

hoopster42 · 12-02-08, 11:38 AM

thx to everyone for the comments, see you in a month, maybe longer, in the meantime, take care, be well, may be i can be a role model for other 'troublemaker' posters and i can show that an attitude adjustment can certainly be made by taking a little time away to think about actions and as vegasdave said, how those actions might be affecting others in an adverse way, not that anyone really gives a crap about someone behind a keyboard who is taunting them, but you never know, unkind words must take some kind of toll on the reader, and its not kool, not any more any way

CaneDawg · 12-02-08, 12:04 PM

we are all mortals

forgive people and move on

life is short....if you don't like your life change it

good luck hoopster...hope you find the inner peace we are all searching for

Mudcat · 12-02-08, 12:15 PM

Honestly, a month isn't likely to make any difference.

The on-line attitude which has you so conflicted will quickly return. You'll be right back in the same place again saying sh1t and then wondering how/why you could be like that.

I mean, go ahead and try but I just don't see it changing anything. IMO you either need to leave it behind for good, or else accept that whatever this forum is adding to your life is worth the price: a portion of your peace of mind.

To me, it is a necessary evil for what it adds to my business. I don't know what it is for you.

Your opening post showed a lot of thoughtfulness and maturity. I see introspection and self-honesty. Those are important things in life.

What's not important is public internet forums.

youre rite, stupid ignorant dumb fukks still irritate me and i cant help but shout them down, the difference now is that i will only insult ppl who insult me first, just like i did to the dumbshit who called me a moron for saying that kirk herbstreit is not all that with his college picks over the last 15 yrs that he has been on college gameday

and yes, public internet forums are meaningless, so FUKK everyone, and merry freaking christmas

Mudcat · 12-23-08, 03:11 PM

Merry Freaking Christmas hoopster.
