How dare anyone have an opinion! This crap doesn't make for a good discussion. Plenty of other threads already beating this dead horse

I don't agree.

I think we _should_ hold each other accountable. I think folks should keep receipts. I think people _ought_ to be measured in what they say AS IF someone is going to bring it up later.

This shooting blindly into the interwebz with no concern about anything ever coming back to be paid for, it's part of the reason on-line communities are so much nastier to each other.

Accountability. It's actually a very good thing. Painful to those who turn out to be wrong, maybe, but still a good thing.

Go Vols!

Bumping a year old thread (you didn't have the balls to post in originally) just to call out the opinions of those who didn't have the benefit of a year of hindsight is weak.

Like 82 said, opinions SHARED are just as reviewable for value add OR value detract as coaches calls and players actions.

What is your justification for taking issue with that concept?

If players and coaches reach all their goals then the process is flawed. Fans Replacing Hope with expectation is a bad application of logic in striving for goals and often fueled by arrogance.

Fumbles by players and cheap shots by “FANS” share a value.

You seem to believe it takes "balls" to post a thought in a thread on a fan forum. It doesn't.

It doesn't matter if the fella posted in the thread originally. He read that thread (clearly). So he interacted with that thread. He saw people making statements that he questioned. And then, later, he asked them if they have reconsidered since.

To make a few analogies, the referee doesn't play football, but has the right to call a player out for being wrong (violating a rule of the game). A voter doesn't put himself up for election, but has the right to choose one candidate over another. A parent doesn't have to be playing on the jungle gym herself to call out their kid for punching another kid. And this fella can ask others about their posts in a thread without having posted in it himself previously.

People may not have the "benefit of a year of hindsight" when they contribute to these boards, but they are certainly capable of being measured and reasonable in their posts. If they turn out to have been wrong, they should expect someone to call them on it. I know I always do. And it keeps me moderated in my statements and predictions. That's called social interaction.

There's nothing at all wrong with it. Just the opposite: it is important to a cohesive society.

Go Vols!

Yah, unfortunately not in a good way.

Look, it is either okay to resurrect old threads, or it's not. We generally don't see PJ or any other moderator shutting folks down for doing that. So apparently it's fine on VN.com.

Given that as a base to build on, it really doesn't matter whether Fulmerite hit "reply" to posts that are a day old, a week old, a month old, or a year old. It's all the same.

And folks OFTEN join a thread for the first time by replying to others who have already posted in that thread. I do it. You do it. PJ does it. Most of us who like to share and discuss our thoughts do that. Not having already posted in that same thread BEFORE replying to someone else there isn't some act of cowardice, though that has been implied here.

So if there's nothing wrong with resurrecting an old thread, and there's nothing wrong with replying to others to discuss their ideas (even if that's your first post in the thread) ... what exactly does PJ think Fulmerite did that was so 'weak'?

*shrug* the whole "complaining about other people keeping receipts" thing just baffles me. There is zero logic to it. It is a very "i'm triggered, he's triggered, she's triggered, we're all triggered by you questioning us" kind of viewpoint.

Not a year later to weakly call out others. Especially when he had to bypass at least a half dozen current threats about the exact same subject just to reach this one

You've essentially stated him calling out old posts by others is ok but me calling out recent posts is bad. Be consistent

There's that word 'weak' again. For what, the 3rd or 4th time? Are you just trying to insult or provoke Fulmerite with it?

And that's correct, you absolutely have the right to call out Fulmerite for his ideas if you disagree with them. Just as I have the right to call it out if I disagree with yours. He calls folks out, you call him out for calling them out, I call you out for calling him out for calling them out, and on we go, endlessly. It's a message board. Heh.

But there's a key difference here: Fulmerite did not use insulting or belittling language in his post; he simply asked a question. Nor have I, I don't think. But you have, three or four times (weak, crap, no-balls). Worth pondering....

A critique of our 🎢 game threads would probably keep us busy until mid-week then there would be all the responses.

Heh, I think critiquing a game thread is a practical impossibility. I mean, I can't even keep up reading them, forget responding without missing a full page or two. :)

I would be sincerely surprised to find a single person in VN.com who has ever read every single post in a typical game thread. One thing is for sure: if they're doing that live, DURING the game, they're not watching the game. :)

Bringing an old thread back that aged well, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Not to start something..but let me go back and copy and paste at 2 AM several quotes from different posters in a thread dead for 10 months trying to call people out and ask a rhetorical question under the guise of a gotcha.
Btw I I don’t mean to offend but with all due respect and I mean all due respect, these types of prodding posts are moronic and weak.

What about all of the posters who were absolutely hammered on here for stating Nico wasn’t the all time great that the majority of posters were clamoring that he was? They were literally called things like “moronic” and “weat” and worse. Probably by you.

What about those who had the opposite opinions about our former QB and stated as much? There are many on here who posted correctly pertaining to his actual playing ability but yet were blasted on here
