To the Posters of TSW, I apologize

[Mark Vader]

Well said, MAJBobby.

 

You should not have to apologize for your opinions, but I respect that you took the time to write this post.

 

Everybody here knows how much fun it is being a Bills fan. Especially in the 21st century.

 

Differing opinions is one of the things that keeps this board going.

 

GO BILLS!!!

[Buffalo Barbarian]

I wanted to put together a thread not to get in the good graces of Mods or anything and not to keep myself from getting banned or anything like that. But I have looked at some of the things I have posting and I have crossed the line with calling other posters out and such.

 

I will not apologize for the actual content I post, as that is what a message board is for. But I wanted to let the posters know here were I am coming from. I think of myself as very knowledgeable and try to learn more everyday. I also know there are new fans or fans that don't really know what to look at when breaking down a player or play and they want to learn. So that is why I post the way that I post. For the most part my posts are not often reported or "facts" (how people look at facts). Instead it is my opinion of a specific play or player based off my years of playing and studying the sport.

 

I learn something knew from posters all the time. Example advanced stats, I don't have that kind of mind, so when people post about it, it interests me to learn more, and alot of times these advanced stats are in direct contradiction to what I am seeing. However all numbers can be manipulated to get a desired outcome. Either way I am rambling now so I will continue.

 

So to the big contention Tyrod Taylor, I know that I make alot of people upset with what I say, and even call it crusading, I apologize if it comes off like that, the reality though it I tend to get into conversations and respond directly to comments I take issue with, so it comes off as I post the same thing over and over again. That is my fault and lack of Message Board etiquette, I know I should only respond one time, I know that everyone can read what I post, just sometimes I get lost in the conversation so it seems like I am bullying or pushing or whatever you want to call it. That is not my intent I am just having a conversation and get lost. Believe me I would love to be critical of him or any player because that means we are winning and set at the position, but lets face it, QB is the most important position on the football field and that position always sparks the most debate and conversation over any other position on the football field.

 

Well in closing, I will continue to post here, I might take a break from QB conversations (no promise though), and though I do not apologize with my views, my breakdowns etc., I do apologize to the posters on this board for how I have come across at times. I can make one promise I will try to come across better when I post in the future. Ok that is all

We all look at things from our own perspective. You could take 10 of us from this board and show us the same play. We probably have 3-4 different interpretations of it because of the knowledge level we have and the inherent bias we have in terms of how we evaluate. That's just the facts of how human nature works.

 

You're not alone in coming across as potentially confrontational in defending your stance. It's honestly not a big deal to me because, for the most part, I agree with a lot of what you say. If you want to work on the way you interact with others, respect to you for that. Self-improvement is a life-long constant we should all strive for.

 

Anyone who knows me from my BBMB days knows that I'm a much tamer version of my internet self than I used to be. It's not easy when you're passionate about something to hide it but it might do you some good in the long run to take that step back once in a while. Either way, you're alright in my books as you are.

Thanks Noted

FYI.....That's a compliment coming from DC Tom. Your new here so I assume you did not know that.....unless you are the poster I think you are...but I digress

I was just about to post something similar explaining my "crusading" towards Sammy Boo Boo Foot and Marquise Goodwont. But then I realized I don't care what any of you asshats think about my opinion.

For something that didn't need to be said that my friend was well said!

[Niagara Bill]

This board used to be a lot more confrontational back in the day...now it is controlled like soccer moms control little Ryan at the park. Like the soccer moms say everyone gets to play and we do not keep score. We always end in a tie.

Have a chocolate covered strawberry and get in the mini van.

Tomorrow know one remembers.

This is correct. The board used to self-police in an open environment of exchanged ideas. If one was disliked it was pretty much burned to the ground.

[Wayne Arnold]

I don't accept your apology.

 

Words hurt.

[Coach Tuesday]

At a certain point you can just assume we all know your position about Tyrod Taylor, and stop hijacking every thread with it. It's fair game for threads about Tyrod or the offense generally - but you've been assaulting nearly every discussion with it. We get it!

Demote yourself to Lt Bobby for 1 week

Tracking, good thing i keep my pay lol

Did you call someone an over-officious jerk?

Marv did have a way of dogging someone nicely

Does anyone really care? Isn't that the point?

 

Are people mad that you have an opinion?

 

If you someone gets butthurt over the fact that Tyrod isn't a franchise QB, maybe they should take cover in a safe space. !@#$ their feelings. I like hearing people's opinions in different threats. You do you

Will still post my opinion and such, just gonna try and work on the delivery is all because if i offend people maybe my opinion starts falling on deaf ears and that 3rd person that might not be closed off to a dissenting opinion is because of my delivery

Also, I got that about DC Tom "Thanks Noted" also in Military Talk is FU dont care, like someone comes by me says Solider you cant blouse your boots like that, your response thanks Noted (but you aint changing the way you blouse your boots)

This! I swear a discussion of the Bills run defense ultimately becomes about Tyrod's inability to throw deep down the middle of the field. It's maddening.

I dont think i ever did that, but cant really logically and objectively talk Time of Possession, and a tired defense if you ignore the 3 and outs on offense right

And again only other thread i really mention TT in is WR threads. Example the Torrey Smith thread i mentioned TT because the WR skill he is missing is not the deep threat it is the route runner.

 

And also value of WR cant talk those to areas if the QB is off limits right?

[dave mcbride]

No need to apologize. You're a very solid contributor.

[mead107]

What are we talking about and truth be told I love Gug.

[bobobonators]

I want an apology from Whaley for fielding this sad bunch of WR's.

Only after the medical staff apologizes.

[DCbillsfan]

All good dude. Buffalo wants a winner so bad. Sometimes fans take offense to criticism of their team regardless of how true it is.

Nice post... but everyone needs to relax. We are not curing cancer here. This board is for fun and fans to be fans.. Occasionally I think opposing views are stupid. But the person saying them are not awful humans.

 

We are all Bills fans. We are bonded by a common thread. While some views stated here are dumb, criminally stupid, ill informed, and even mean. I will still cheer loudly next to that guy at the bar or home game. We are the Bills mafia.... screw the Patriots!

 

Now if I can only get all of America to think the same thing. I am true deep conservative, my neighbor is whiny liberal. But I borrows his tools and I help him snow blow his driveway. He watches my house when I am gone. We are Americans.

 

Oh and by the way... Hillary is corrupt and If I had sent a single classified email on a private server while I was on active duty in Iraq, I would be in jail. No question. But if she wins, I will have a beer with my neighbor on election night, and she will be our president (god help us).
