King Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Exactly right but is that actually what's going on in this thread? Yes
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Yes It's certianly an aspect King but scroll through. There is tons of bashing their fanbase. That's not really why I was chiming in though. The weekly updates to this thread have become annoying. Who cares what they think, who cares what they post. It's unnecessary and petty at this point. Just enjoy the Jays and let them do their thing.

King Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 f*** you weams I agree with this. f*** weams
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I agree with this. f*** weams I agree f*** King.... I mean Weams....
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Unfortunately I replied at the beginning and I have a bad habit of reading threads I've replied to. I ignored it for close to a month now, I think we allg et it. OH is a bunch of homers. Weams says ridiculous things. Move along.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Nope. Perfectly acceptable thread to use to post dumn things found at OH. At least we can keep it centralized here so that it doesn't clutter all the other threads. Also, it's tremendous bait.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 It's basically the equivalent of using frogs for fishing.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I have no qualms with the thread but it feels like beating a dead horse at this point. Do we want them posting here? I'm happy that they're contained to their little pen and don't really want them spilling out nor do I want to lure them over.
ValiantJaysFan Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Did you read the thread? Yeah. Why?
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Then you'd know that this thread bounces between mocking OH, the O;s front office, the BAL players/mgmt and their fanbase.
ValiantJaysFan Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Then you'd know that this thread bounces between mocking OH, the O;s front office, the BAL players/mgmt and their fanbase. Yes. Rightfully so. Point?
Rajais Mitten Verified Member Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Then you'd know that this thread bounces between mocking OH, the O;s front office, the BAL players/mgmt and their fanbase. They do it to us, we do it to them I don't see the big deal. The only difference is we don't hide behind a sign up wall and don't mind outside opinion as long as they are civilized (and even not so civilized some times)

Obviously people enjoy this thread, if you enjoy a very vanilla flavoured brand of fandom that doesn't involve disliking other teams and fans, that's cool but you won't see me coming out to correct you.

Good post, I don't get why people can't just ignore topics or posts they don't like? Whining about every post/thread you don't like is idiotic

Statman Verified Member Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Graveman would be helping them more than Donaldson - weams I still can't get over this stupidity. BTW where is calrip these days?
NotThatGuy Verified Member Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 So, let's get this straight ... it's cool to mock and be openly hostile toward an entire fanbase or, at least, an entire board. It's cool to want to go over there and troll the f*** out of them, just for shits and giggles. It's cool, when that board shuts you down, to participate in a baiting thread on your own board where the belittling and name-calling continues, as you try to troll them to your board, where you can attack them further. But if a fellow fan corrects you and challenges you when you say stupid s***, and perhaps doesn't have an attitude that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside (i.e. "he's such a meanie!"), then he's a mega-troll that needs to be banned? This isn't directed at Boxcar, because he's not being a hypocritical little biatch - he sticks by his views (whether you appreciate them or not) ... but to a number of you who take great pleasure in antagonizing the Orioles Hangout, and other boards, yet act like injured lil birdies on this board. Don't make me take back your participation trophies.

I enjoyed the thread. However, at this point it's run it's course and well past being humorous. I don't consider that vanilla fandom, I consider it having the self-awareness to realize when a joke has reached it's expiry date.

I don't consider that vanilla fandom, I consider it having the self-awareness to realize when a joke has reached it's expiry date. It's not a joke though, it's a constant state. We don't like them, generally, and they don't like us, generally. Generally, they enjoyed rubbing their fleeting success in the faces of Jays fans the last couple years and now it's our turn. This was never a joke, this is about taking a huge steaming dump on a fanbase that needs a reality check. Is it immature? Yes. Is it petty? Absolutely. Who cares? If you think the joke has expired, ignore it. If it embarrasses you as a jays fan, there are things far more embarrassing. Such as the existence of Jeff Blair.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 You don't like them. I think the vast majority of us are apathetic and I don't really understand what you think this accomplishes. How is mockery on an internet forum a reality check? It's not going to do anything. Lastly, I'm glad you recognize it for what it is but don't think I'm embarrassed. This message board is in no way a representative of myself, the Jays' fanbase or Toronto as a whole.
