I think a lot of the posters over there are clever as hell, and their ability to troll other fanbases' boards is nothing short of inspirational (and I'm not generally much of a fan of trolling).  It always makes me chuckle when the true tucks on this board run around on other fanbases' boards and warn them about the "childish" meanies over there, and how they're not "real K-State fans"...seriously, most of the resident posters over there are hilarious, and I have no doubt I would have a blast getting hammered with them.

That being said, I actually have to agree with a lot of what you posted.  Especially the part about it being "too much stinking work" and "not for the guy that wants to catch up a couple of times a week or even daily" (which perfectly describes me).  Much as I prefer to live in an area where my views are considered more "conservative" than the norm (i.e., surrounded by "liberals" - I would probably be viewed as a flaming liberal by Kansas standards, hence the Oregon residence), I also prefer to spend my online time surrounded by those more "tuckish" than myself.

For better or for worse, you are my family, GPC.  Every tucking one of you.

Now look what you punks have done.  We have tucks calling out people for being bigger tucks than themselves.  I hope you're happy with yourselves.

You stole dozens of cheese slices from my fraternity's fridge.  Were they tasty?

Lot's of great "The Word" nominees in here.  I especially like how he was wondering about this place's business model.  I can only assume he was confounded that gE.c is not subscription based. 

Also, he talks about how people with jobs can't afford to be bbs'n and stuff, when he posted it at 3:40 this afternoon.

That board is a friggin' nightmare.  Call me a shirt tuck if you want.  It's just too much stinking work.  It's like it's written in code.  Everyone acts like they know what the other people are talking about, but I don't know if any of them really do.  You can't tell what is serious and what isn't.  The only way you can possibly know what the heck is going on is to be on there constantly.  Definitely not for the guy that wants to catch up a couple times a week or even daily.

Nobody ever comes out and says something straight forward.  They always link something that you have to read and then try to draw conclusions on what the heck they are trying to infer or state something cryptically like you should all know what's going on.  If there is a business model, I don't know how that works.  Most of us with jobs don't have time for that crap.  Not to mention the threads are a hundred pages long.  I don't have any idea how people keep track of what they read or haven't read.  I used to get some amusement out of some of the cleverness.  There were/are some truly funny people over there, but as far as getting any useful information, it's just not worth the effort.

Call me a tuck.  I've given up.

kslimlb3 didn't even steal anything. He credited Fitz as the author of that post.

The threads being 100 pages long is the best part. 1 thread per topic.

Next time you see Fitz, you should inform him about how copyrights and plagiarism work. For example, you did not plagiarize him in any way, shape or form because you cited him as the source of the dumbassery. He plagiarizes goEMAW.com just about every time he posts information, though.
