Reflections, the future, a rant and the offseason

Oh it's definitely a troll.

Please distinguish between a troll, and just someone who disagrees with you... If it's the latter, you're a troll to them, too, and we're back in Puritan Salem, burning "witches..."

Can't an IP block be done?

I think Shawn said they can do that. That said it is not rocket science to get around.

IP bans can certainly be done. When I was a mod only John and his co-owner/friend or whoever it was had the power to block the IP address. It may have changed. With that said, some trolls post from work without a VPN. Not wise...lol. As for Prowler, I assume he is probably the "cock face" Browns fan.

I would actually agree with that. But, with you it isn't just disagreeing is it?

You may have something... We agree on that point, but what "trolly" thing have I done, besides helping to make this list project a modicum of publishing integrity... that isn't trolly... I don't rest on the laurels of my superior communications skill, rather, I share it willingly... Perhaps that's unwelcome to some, but being too lazy to proofread is unwelcome to me... Is chastising me for being right really a good look?? As I've said repeatedly, It isn't right because I say so... I say so because it's right.... Have I called for IP blocks... or just suggested people gather with pitchforks and torches to drive out infidels??
The solution to disagreements is more ideas, not less communication... I'm so confident in my own positions that I welcome dissenting opinions...

Your use of ellipsis is incorrect. 2 cents. I assume you are trolling because it's a football forum. Either that or you have strong narcissistic tendencies. Few if any want to proofread for grammar. This is supposed to be fun and entertaining not English class.

[Oviedo]

Can someone ban all these ignorant trolls?

Yes please. Get this back to a site for fans

[hawaiiansteel]

You have to admit he's overcome the stench of Tomlin's bad choices.

Hi Prowler.

good call, yet another one of Prowler's multiple aliases that have now been banned.

so we now know of Prowler, the racist Coach Crusader, Bawb the Revelator who has been 85 years old for the last 10 years and uses the "N" word even though he supposedly has a black wife, a gay guy and a black woman to go along with the Predator of Steel.

Put him on ignore Shawn. Most of the rest of us already have.

Why do YOU use ellipses?? The gospel according to JAMA says that ellipses are used to portend that more information is to follow... So when they are placed at the end of one of my effluviations of knowledge, one can rest assured that "Gawd willing, and the creek don't rise..." more Steelers wisdom will follow... Stay tuned...

If I have to explain the proper use of an ellipsis then you shouldn't correct anyone's grammar. How about you just stick to football.

i use ellipses a lot... but, dayum

(yes ^^ that was intentional)

It's funny because there are some posters that i disagree with the vast majority of the time they post - but, they aren't trolling. They're just wrong. bwahaha

Seriously, I call attention to that because the Prowlers of the world would have you believe that they get banned for having a different opinion and it couldn't be farther from the truth, IMO.

If I'm *here*, I would debate football with anyone, prowler included, at any time. It's the folks that have to get personal, political or anything else that isn't even in the ballpark of the game that were causing problems and bringing the place down. And TBH, it *does* feel much better these days.

Here's to hoping we can find more of the old posters to trickle back in. I coulda sworn i saw an old "fresh" face show up this week...

I know it won't be a popular thought but Matt Canada needs to brought back for the sake of our improving offensive capabilities under his leadership. He's proven to be the real deal this season. You have to admit he's overcome the stench of Tomlin's bad choices. For one starting Trubisky after camp was the death blow to our season, when Pickett was clearly the best QB on the roster in the preseason. It cost us the playoffs yet again.

He's not the only one making questionable decisions. Khan signed Johnson instead of the reliable hands of Juju. Speaking of reliable hands Connor Heyward has the most reliable hands on the team. Gentry is quite good in this regard as well. They should be elevated above the regressing Freiermuth in 2023.

Speaking of Connor, his brother Cameron almost cost us the game with his needless roughing the passer penalty. You cannot slam a QB to the ground as hard as he did. This is a veteran player who should know better. End of rant. Let the offseason begin.

only a ravens, bengals or browns fan sees it that way. which are you?

That is why you fail... I asked you to explain your use of ellipses (BTW... that's the plural (an ellipsis, many ellipses....)) if you think my use is incorrect, and you couldn't, so my use must be correct...
