Derka is legitimately mentally ill. That's the only explanation of why he would keep doing all of this in this manner day after day, year after year. He flat out can't stop himself. 

Telling him to put someone on ignore or to leave is invalid because the dude mentally and emotionally is incapable of doing it. He's incapable of moderating himself. 

I don't know if the dude was mentally stable before in his youth but if he was the internet completely broke him. I feel bad for his mom as she has to feel completely helpless as to why her son is letting a stupid Internet slap fight ruin his life. 

Also was Bob the site owner when it was shaggybevo and Rick became site owner when shaggy got sued out of existence? 

Way to crack the case, Sherlock.

Let’s be very clear here. We all know what happens with Derka he often takes criticism of his opinions as an  attack and overreacts. He has mental illness, that he freely acknowledges. Everyone here k

Just saw this thread.  From a site business perspective, I would guess that derka still drives plenty of views and activity when he has something to say. Conversely, MotownHorn is a bandwidth dra

Well if everyone knows that then shouldn't we all be treating him accordingly? Stop antagonizing him and just put him on ignore if you don't have the restraint?Do you go out and antagonize mentally ill people in your day to day life?

Wait, you probably do. You seem like the type to kick kids with downs syndrome in the nuts

Well this sucks. I’ll miss you, Derka. We had a run in or two over basketball opinions, but you accepted my apology when I felt I was out of line and offered one up in return. It won’t be the same there without you.

But seriously, Derka received no different behavior that any other poster here. It was his reactions to that treatment that was a lot of the comments about "Derka-ing up threads" etc. I put him ignore long ago because interacting with him sapped fun from this site. I don't think expecting him to do the same (put users that are too antagonizing to him on ignore) was that much to ask/expect from him. I said it a number of pages back - why should he get any special treatment on this site? Either from the users or the admins?

I am going to miss Derka. It's clear he genuinely loves the University and his posts usually are informative. Yes, there are rants but you can gloss over them instead of making fun. It's ok if you don't agree with his takes but who is to say who is correct. Some people can't help but bully (especially on the internet) and I believe this site is set up to encourage that behavior. I also think the 🖕 reaction is offensive. We should have thumbs up and down instead.

This board is bad for your mental health if you use it as an outlet and not get the professional help you need. 

There are more than a few posters who think I’ll just post on Surly about my life problems and maybe that will help. Yes, it can give you support but a trained professional should be the one to help you, not this board.

Holiday family bullshit thread disagrees.

the biggest question is about rants (by anyone) or big blocks of text (by anyone). when i see those, i generally skim the beginning and then, you know, scroll past them and go on living my life. if someone takes the time to unload like that, and another person takes the time and reads it, who's the crazy one, honestly?

I read the basketball board a fair amount but I rarely post there because I don't really know much about the game beyond the most surface level. Inane, dumb and silly shit is more my wheelhouse. Derka doesn't seem disruptive there. The opposite, for me. He's informative and detailed. 

And I'm not some derka advocate or team selector. I don't know him at all. I've actually had several negative exchanges with him over various sites. I get why some might become annoyed at his strident tenacity and prolific presence. But there are handfuls of other posters who intentionally do nothing but slide their asses up and down multiple threads for their own entertainment. Fine.

Just let him back on. He openly displayed how the dopamine hits from ithe nteraction here is a very meaningful part of his well-being. Whether you like the guy or despise him, anyone would have to recognize that you couldn't get more vulnerable than how he opened this thread. I can't imagine being that candid about anything on this site or any other. And as others have noted, he generally brings more to the table than his serial agitators.

Derka loves attention.  He loves to make it all about himself, whether positive or negative.

Derka is definitely missed on the basketball board. Like him or not, he drove a lot of the conversation and kept those threads active and lively. His absence is causing me to frequent the basketball board less and will be felt even more acutely next season at the start of the college basketball season. He is worth keeping around just for the Kenpom rankings that he posts, which aren’t available to download unless you’re a paid subscriber like he is. The soccer board would not be the same if @Captain Ron or @ztejas were banned. I’d like to see Derka reinstated.

I'm kinda glad Derka is not around as of yesterday due to Jokic winning MVP. I just didn't want to hear about it. Not the biggest Jokic fan, so....yea.

Wait, okay, I'll bite; what's the issue with Jokic?

His fans love him. Like, really love him. As in, if you don't have the opinion that he's a combination of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, they start listing a bunch of obscure stats about why he's the bestest player and clearly a top 10 player of all time.

I generally enjoyed the threads he started and appreciated his posts where he didn't rage on anybody who had a differing opinion, but those basketball threads were a beating once he got into any sort of back and forth (even though quite often it was other posters baiting him/starting shit). I hope he gets help for his mental health, but it seems like posting on Internet message boards is not something doing him any favors in that department.

How can anyone not be a Jok fan?  I get you might not like playing him, but that dude is a great guy.  

Luka finished 3rd.  Take it up with the voters.  I would have had Luka second, personally.

He doesn't play for the Mavs is the issue.

Lol Luka didn't even finish 2nd.

This is the best basketball take you've had in a week or so.
