I am sorry if this sounds mean spirited....

I don't even know what you are talking about.

Few do.

Boom. But it won't matter....homer trollin.

Bob, you know he was being sarcastic, right?

Actually, Homer, I wasn't

 

[HomerChampless]

...I'm also pointing out a troll would never consider themselves a troll...

Haha what? People troll all the time purposefully while knowing full well what they are doing. Could be one of the most blatantly false statements I've seen in awhile

Nah I'm not big on trolling but I know plenty of people who do and they openly admit it!

BTW, here are two examples on this thread of you trolling.

Or has board enforcement to prevent trolling become an enforcement of a safe spaces strategy? You know, if I don't agree with what you say, you're despicable? That kinda safe spaces strategy.

 

[HomerChampless]

I'm not trying to make you mad. Are you trying to make me mad? I don't think either one of us is trolling.

If, for example, Iowa's defense has to prevent a winning touchdown or feel goal (as the soccer player watching American football in the commercial says) they are more likely to be unsuccessful compared to Wisky's defense because Iowa ALWAYS defends the field while Wisky sometimes defends the man. I could just as easily present a favorable comparison of Wisky's defense to Iowa's defense in a third down and long scenario.

I'm not saying playing prevent defense is bad. I'm saying playing prevent defense the entire game is bad. For example while playing prevent defense the entire game, you can't stop certain situations from happening and you surely won't get highly athletic recruits.

Play prevent defense when little game time is left in the half. Play prevent defense to cross up the other's offense.
Don't play prevent defense the entire game unless you are the Pittsburgh Steelers defense and Iowa's defensive schemes are not as good as the Steelers defensive schemes.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Iowa does not play prevent defense the entire game. There is a difference between bend but don't break (not letting the big play happen and keeping everything in front of you) and a true prevent defense with a lead (willing to give up yards but not a big play while making the other team use clock).

My statements were neither cynical or sarcastic, just because a person disagrees with something you post does not equate to trolling... Calling somebody out for making an egregious claim does not fit the definition.

 

[OkstHawk]

Go figure. This is mean spirited and I'm sorry. See, other posters are using the 'if Iowa were in the B1G east', for example, analogies to point out Iowa is a front runner of the weak sister division of the B1G. You may not get that (If you do, I apologize, again).

I'm also pointing out a troll would never consider themselves a troll and, for example, the students at American colleges who interrupt speakers they disagree with intimating the speakers are trolls while the students are, themselves, trolls.

A bully or a defender of safe spaces is in the eye of the beholder.

You might want to post the definition of analogy and troll to this thread discussion for Ingoodco.

I think the appropriate phrase is something along the lines of "you got served."
