Or, how bout shorts and visor?
It's really not the conspiracy everyone thinks it is... Two dudes, both of which attended undergrad and post-grad at VT, saw how riled up we (their friends) got when we had a similar discussion previously. Knowing how thin skinned a good chunk of the people are here, one decided to have a similar "discussion", albeit a bit more adamantly. The other saw him doing this and came to his defense. Neither of them have alts or have done anything similar before.
Both were banned, which frankly is a bit ridiculous seeing as it was contained to a single thread and at worst people were being called sheep, but it really isn't that big of a deal to either. Neither of them really commented much anyways. They both use TKP along with other sites for VT news and that's about it.
If I'm being honest, I did find it a bit funny and thought it was interesting seeing how people reacted considering that type of thing doesn't happen very often around here.
I thought there seemed to be a "Downvote effect" for that one. I feel people are more encouraged to downvote after they already see -1 there.
I bet he would be so quick at 315
Anyone have a list of what we think our "Most Wanted" list is as of right now?
Agreed... But I am still a little bothered that primes was hammered after one comment. I'm still not 100% sure that user was part of the whole thing, so to see that comment, his/her only one in this thread to be at -20... That doesn't sit well with me.
Don't have a problem with the others. We gave ATXhokie and TheTwoPercent enough rope to hang themselves and they prepared a pretty sturdy noose to use. I just thought the downvoting might have gotten carried away a bit when it hit a couple others, like primes and play.hokies.
I understand some of these words...
Honestly I love the analysis it's helping me understand football more than "do the thing, score points"
I just saw a news story where a Belgian rider got discovered with an auxiliary motor in her bike. Thought it was fitting, but yeah that would pretty much be the whole show
I think you bring up a good point with your concern but I'm pretty confident that a majority of us are level headed enough to prevent unwarranted community bans. He came on here with an unpopular opinion which in and of itself is fine. There are plenty of folks here who disagree on all kinds of different topics (cake vs pie, for instance). There is nothing wrong with having an opinion that 'goes against the grain' so long as you defend your opinion in a respectful and meaningful way. When posters start making personal attacks and posting nonsense that is obviously intended to offend people here, however, I don't see any problem with swift action to clean that stuff up.
Both were arraigned this morning and have lawyers.
My God this is so sick. And reading about this poor child who was
bullied for having scars from a life saving transplant at school. I thought
bullying was bad when I was in high school. This is beyond disgusting.

I'll take wind suits over khakis, team cap, and no shirt any day.
You guys at TKP are the best, you know? Thanks for all you do!

Saw Alex reaching out to a few. Looking forward to it.
Thanks. Appreciate your info. I am very impressed with the staff's efforts post-snowpocalypse. Imo, this close-out says a lot about the recruiting possibilities.
Ross was sick all weekend so who knows if he enjoyed his visit. Hopefully Ford talked some sense into him since that was his host.
Just be on your best behavior or else...
Yeah, literally after I posted it I remembered Mook had an announcement for solely the moment as well. It appears that Fox is basically down to two schools so I guess we'll see.
Is there any form of a story out there yet, or a timeline?
Yes, I joined another site and made a comment and was accused of being a LOL troll. I said WTH?
Alex is set to talk with him today.
Her first post actually had a few supporters and upvotes, it was how she tried to defend her ideas against questions.
That's not always the case. Some kids announce a signing day decision because they want their moment (good for them) and sometimes there one or two schools in the mix for some intrigue.
good point on Primes. I'll admit that I downvoted the comment. For starters, the comment itself added nothing of value and seemed to fit right into the inflammatory style consistent with the other decepticon accounts which have been banned (starscream, shockwave) and based on the context I had I put 2 and 2 together and deemed that a downvote was necessary. The beautiful thing about votes is that they can be reset. IF primes had come out and defended his statement and made a case for not being somehow related to the decepticon series of accounts I would give consideration to resetting my downvote.
regarding play.hokies. I openly accused that account of being related to ATXhokies and TheTwoPercent. That being said, I want to make it clear that I did not actually downvote any of his particular comments. Nothing he said was, to my knowledge, outside of the community guidelines and therefore not worthy of a downvote. I have no intention of serial downvoting a single commentor if they haven't proven to be an obvious troll. play.hokies may very well be unrelated to ATXhokie but I just found his defense of ATXhokie to be strangely suspicious. I apologize to him for lumping him with the troll.
