You know, I had a smart ass remark in mind. But honestly, I think is an example of why people don't report any more. Too often, people get on the net in these forums and decide that they need to be internet cops and best friends to all. They feel the need to be a savior to all the other people out there. It's just too annoying to be an active member of any forum any more, and it's tiring having to deal with it.
They (the internet cops) accuse people of doing illegal things and "call them out for it"...when in reality, if they are so sure an illegal activity has occurred, they should man up and call the DNR. Posting on this forum and "calling someone out" does nothing of consequence for anyone.
They accuse people of being jerks or hypocrites and "call them out for it"...when honestly, who gives a rat's a$$ - what does that actually accomplish? Nothing. Who are you saving these hypocrites from? It's a forum on the internet, it's not important. And anyone can post anything, and if you don't know that, you are a moron and probably beyond help anyway.
They figure they understand people from what they read on an internet forum, in the comfort of their own home, hiding behind a screen name, without ever meeting them - and then feel the need to make sure everyone else knows what mysteriously important piece of information they figured out...when honestly, you don't know sh!t about that person because this is an internet forum and not the real world. I could write that I'm the King of Siam and you have no idea if I'm telling the truth, drunk, stupid, an a-hole, or actually the king. My reports could be true or false. My successes could be truth or lies. I could BM you right after I write this and say exactly what you wrote above about being afraid of Skip, and it would be a lie...or would it? You have no idea if I'm actually Skip's friend and if I'm telling you the truth. My point, this is an internet forum and you can't tell anything about anyone from it.
To all the internet cops out there, please do us all a favor - if you have a problem with whomever, keep it to yourself because frankly I think most people don't need you to help them figure out who the hypocrites and bad people are, and the rest of us just don't care. Better yet, if someone writes something annoying, ignore it...is it really important to you what someone says on here, and if people are truthful or not?
Usually I choose to ignore posts like this. However, the Jets/Colts game is beyond boring (until the last minute) and I just felt compelled even though this post is generally what I just railed against (that's called a catch 22 right?). But really, you don't have to care who I am or what my feelings are. I don't need to impress anyone here. No need to reply, because I probably won't care what you have to say in response anyway. No offense, just being honest.
Cheers,
Bob
