Sizzle, why are you so confrontational on CB? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I'm just curious. Are you that way at work? At home? Or does CB just bring the worst out in you?

1) The icon thing between dmatt and me is a longstanding joke between the two of us. Everyday he kept telling me he was going to learn Flash and make a better icon than me, not sure if he was joking or not, but he has yet to do so. So yes, I give him crap about it as much as I can.

2) I don't see why you think that I am confrontational there. I was just asking him a question, that's all.

Are you as big of a self-righteous judgemental prick in your place of work and at home as you are on the board?

Sizz, if you can't see your online persona is aggressive and confrontational, you have a problem.

In answer to your question, yes, I am often a jerk to my coworkers. My wife not so much. We get along rather well.

In answer to your questions, yes, I know I am. I certainly have the ability to discuss with people whom I respect and feel will carry on an intelligent conversation. However, people I don't respect, or whom I feel won't be respectful, I'll admit I have much less tolerance for, and have no problem being an ass. I usually don't engage in mocking a poster without being provoked... however, there are a few exceptions. Sadly, that is the part I enjoy most about CB now is making fun of (or being an ass to) people who I find annoying.

Okay, fair enough.

What about here?

GoCougarsKris actually makes a post without any exclamation marks or inappropriate caps, and you go after him.

Why not reward non-annoying behavior? What you're doing is just driving BYU fans away from the board.

I guess what I'm saying is I will attack people who can take it. People who regularly attack others. Waters, you, junkie, Lebowski... all of you can handle a Lingo attack post (mainly because they suck).

But Kris seems like a good guy. He's not the brightest bulb on the tree, but he likes the Cougars and doesn't spend his time attacking others.

Why antagonize him?

I have my reasons. Like I said, most people I harass it isn't unprovoked.

Now friends only posts are a different story...

GoCougarsKris is a dipshit. That's a good enough reason for me.

Lingo, Sizzle is the main force behind the Free Johnny Lingo movement. You should be a little more grateful to him.
