I have a confession to make - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Since my roommate is no longer the executive secretary it is now too much of a bother to get an appointment with my bishop so I figure my confession can be done here.

Sometimes I love trolling message boards. That is it, I have said it. I usually keep my respectful ways but occassionally I just have to drop that line that is going to upset everyone. My old standby on cougarboard that has never failed me is to call TBS a recruiting violation. I did that tonight and got three boardmails that I enjoyed and many responses. Fear not I will always use the other site as well as the New Mexico site for my trolling needs. By the way no fanbase is funner to rile up than Las Lobocitas.

They really get riled up easily. I think you and I both were close to getting banned form that site last year, weren't we?

All I can say is that I'm just happy that Danny Granger is missing this entire season for Las Lobcitas, as nobody would stand a chance.

My personal rules of posting:

Try to post something interesting.
Try to post something provocative
Try to post a different POV
Try to post something funny
Crap all over people who are rude, mean, paternalistic, and condescending
Invite the quiet guy to explain himself.
Invite the idiot to explain himself.

Sometimes these rules result in posts that would qualify as 'Trolling.' But there is METHOD.

If I wear a turd hat, it's probably interesting, provocative, different, and maybe even funny. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, though.

Does that mean we can give you the honorary posting moniker of "Turd Burglar?"

:lol:
