The low knowledge lunatic fringe of our fanbase is reaching critcal mass. I really think we need to think about excommunicating many of these "VFLs" from our midst. We will start with nominations followed by a second. Candidates will be voted on in another thread.

Any nominations?

Leave it to the king of the sunshine pumpers to come up with this. You are saying "If you don't like or agree with what others are posting, they should not be allowed to post."

Man, that sounds familiar...

I take it you are nominating yourself?
I have no problem with people posting whatever they like. I have a problem with those falsely impersonating Tennessee Volunteer fans. I don't mind you being troll just come out of the closet.

I will second your nomination.

Heh, PhilBerry, as appetizing as this might initially sound, we can't do it.

We're all Vols. Well, except for the handful of Gators, two or three Dawgs who magically disappear for a few months after we beat them each year, two Wildcats, and a smattering of transients who pop in from time to time. Put them aside, and we're all Vols. The good, the bad, the ugly, and NationDom. Not calling NationDom beyond bad or anything, he's just you know, in a category all his own. He's unique. :)

And that's why we can't do it. You can't excommunicate your weird uncle Bert, the one who shows up at Christmas, in the blizzard, riding a Harley and wearing a hand-made aluminum foil hat as a helmet, with Mexican refried beans as his side dish. Bert may be a certified lunatic, but he's still family.

And that's how it is here. We're all family. Even the ones whose viewpoints are so totally out of whack with yours that you can't imagine ever agreeing with them on anything. Pick a name. Yeah, that guy, the really negative one. He's still a good old boy, a Vol fan, just one who revels in pushing things others value off a cliff.

Now, I personally am tempted to make one huge exception to this rule: D4H. He is clearly not a Volunteers fan. He has admitted so himself. He has wished ill on our team, both coaches and players. So for me personally, D4H has ceased to exist as an active voice on the board. But he still has the right to show up, and some people still respond to him.

Just one big old, dysfunctional, semi-insane family.

Where do we vote?

I will also second the nomination just in case there is some type of "OP can't second" technicality.

I actually think it's a bunch of derelict Kensucky, SCJr and Candy pseudo fans on hear posing as Vol fans. Just because they have Orange, Vols, Smokey etc in their name doesn't make them fans. There's to much stirring the pot. Making argumentative threads, then never returning to post in the thread. I know we have some characters, but it isn't all us.

Y'all are out of your mind if you think fans of other teams come on here pretending to be Loyal Vol Fans bringing up our problems just to aggravate. They aren't smart enough to pull off such a simple plan. For those that got the idea from someone else and have been trolling us all along, they won't step foward and end the fun and excitement they are having by being on here as an undercover troll. I would be the first to offer them a beer and say nice troll job. Most likely they will not come foward and continue their cowardly ways. Well see, i have been wrong before.

Plan D.

I hope you realize that a lot of these people use their VFL card as a bookmark in their lawnmower manual?

Right up there with dudes discussing color combinations for uniforms and people who have no idea where apostrophes go talking about playcalling.

Nothing wrong with talking about uniforms. Funny that everybody that complains about uniform threads shows up posting in uniform threads.
