F*ck it, 10k posts is enough, I'm outta here.

There's a time when you say to yourself, I've sunk too much time into something that's completely worthless at the end of the day.

Some of you may have been wondering why I haven't been posting at all for the past day and a half. The reason is simple: I've been debating as to whether I want to remain part of this community. After a LOT of thought, I've decided that it's better for me if I leave, for good. This will be my final post here on the Huddle.

Certain people here (Val, Dimbee, Zod, Scrum, PanthaSan, NC_Biscuit, Boo, Saltman, Panthro, a few others... you know who you are) have continued making "jokes" about me being gay or liking feet... this despite the fact that I have politely asked them not to, more than once.

Now, before you label me as humorless, I want you to understand that I do have a sense of humor about myself. I've been picked on here for being a geek, for being a virgin, for liking graphing calculators... and I was totally fine with all of that. However, I've made it clear that my sense of humor about myself does not extend into statements, joking or otherwise, concerning me being gay or liking feet. For the record, I am not gay (and you can take that "methinks you doth protest too much" crap and cram it up your ass sideways, TC), and any speculation about whether I am because of the decor of my condo is stereotyping at its worst. (Dimbee... I'm sure your gay brother would be proud of how you really seem to feel about gays, based on some of your posts.)

I've also been accused of having a double standard when it comes to this, given my repetitive jokes in the direction of Jester (concerning his sheep) and JR (concerning his sexual behavior). The difference is that these two fine individuals, for whom I have a lot of respect, have apparently consented to this sort of thing... I've never seen either of them protest when a joke is made at their expense, and I've never had a single negative thought towards either of these two guys. If either of them ever had said "hey, please don't joke about <x>", I would have stopped immediately... and I would have expected the same of anyone here when I did the same thing. I admit that my sense of humor about myself may not be as fully-developed as it is for other people... but I doubt that certain people here (Cooter, for example) would put up with someone making jokes about THEM being gay. (Even if I am wrong about this, it still doesn't excuse what's been done.)

So, I want you all to know WHY I am leaving... and I want to be very clear about this. It's because of the inconsiderate, immature behavior of assh*les like Dimbee and Val, who just can't leave well enough alone when someone politely asks them to stop doing something. Now, if they were anyone else here (Charlottenian, for example), I would do to them what I did to Charlottenian for a while: Set them on Ignore. Sadly, these two jackasses are moderators, and therefore they cannot be Ignored. Since I cannot Ignore them, and since they insist on continuing to behave in a manner which completely pisses me off, the only solution left is for me to take my leave of this site.

Before you think this is all negative, though, I want to say "farewell" to a few people:

Zod, JR, Jester, NH, Ms. Skyy, Livermush, Cooter, Monkeybutt, CosmoGirl (the only Huddler I've ever actually met, to my knowledge), Cyberjag, Mr. Scot [and Quak and Fox], Tweeder, Anavax, Ladyvamp, Alverez, GTG, Sunbunny, Squirrel, Dawg, Buddha, Duekster, Solorca, Cptx: I enjoyed hanging out with all of you, even if it was just online. (I'm sure I've forgotten some people. Forgive me, please.) Maybe I'll see some of you at the Panthers games... look for JASE 69. 001.gif

Charlottenian: Good luck with med school, but dude... stop boasting about your parents' house and cars and bidets. 002.gif

Alan Ford, KK, Delhommey, and Wedge: Get a clue, will you?

Val and Dimbee: F*ck you, assh*les. rock.gif

One final note: I came here from the Charlotte.com forums, which are heavily moderated... and found myself in a place that is almost totally UNmoderated. I think the Huddle would be a better place, one that I'd like to visit, if it was better moderated. Ms. Skyy is a good mod... she steps in and cools people down when a thread gets too hot. For that she has my thanks. Moderators are not supposed to alienate the people they're moderating.

So anyway... I've had a lot of fun here these past 7 months, but it's not fun anymore. I don't want to be here if it's not fun for me.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
