It has been difficult to talk basketball on this forum for a few years now because of one thing. You.
I had my own ridiculous tussles with you and have refrained from playing in your sandbox while observing you continue to rampage across every basketball thread with your abuse and vitriol to anyone who dare question your opinion.
You claim you try not to personalize disagreements. Sure, Jan. Seriously, you are the constant line throughout every single meltdown on this particular board. Posters regularly disagree and talk shit to each other that their asshole smells better. Happens every day and the thread manages to absorb the conflict without issue and everyone has a good time. But you do more than disagree, you force your blustering indignation onto all with endless strings of multiple posts and dead horse beating. You take a thread, you shit on it, then you shit on the pile of shit, then you pick up the shit and smear it in all of our faces. Time and time again. You are the one doing this, no one is forcing you or making you act this way. Your brief hiatus has done nothing to change your behavior. You are like a child.
Take responsibility and change your ways or leave. You shit is tired and nobody wants to deal with it anymore. You pollute the basketball board because you have a personal attachment to the program and are incapable of rational and objective discussion on the subject. You have a fundamental inability to agree to disagree about opinions. You are a great contributor in the Arsenal thread, the Movie/TV forum and other areas of this site. But you have proven you are unable to behave in a mature and adult manner when if comes to Texas basketball. It's extremely unhealthy for you and your decision to continue to engage puts the onus on you. You are not paid to be here. You do not post anything that factors into the program in any manner. The world will not stop turning if your thoughts on Texas basketball are not shared with all. Have you no sense of self-control, sir, at long last?
