Folks, as many of you are probably aware, some of our fine BSD community members had a run in with the SBN Ohio State blog Around the Olentangy. Apparently, they have an issue with members using subject lines in their comments. And they even pointed to a post on BSD as an example of this wretched behavior. Whatever, that's their business. We love using the subject line here at BSD. In fact, the one line comments where only the subject line is used are the best comments in my opinion.
But I just wanted to make you all aware of this policy so if you happen to wander over there you don't get yourself banned. We wouldn't want that to happen, now, would we?
Aww, look at you. You created a Fanpost! Any content from a premium site that requires a subscription will be deleted once we catch wind of it. If you simply want to share a link, quote, or video, please consider using Fanshots instead. Thanks.

A distinction
I personally think that policy is a funny thing to make fun of.
But I take trolling and banning a lot more seriously. I wouldn’t find it funny at all if a bunch of Penn Staters, especially ones who contribute regularly in our BSD living room, go on a trolling/banning rampage. I hope BSD’ers can at least do what jessedot credited Jim Tressel with and comport themselves with dignity when visiting other teams’ blogs.

I agree...BUT...
this whole thing is like watching a train wreck. You want to hop over there to read the reactions, and sometimes you JUST. CAN’T. HELP. saying something. And I think anything we say really would get us banned.
Not that I’ve done this, but I totally get it.
letsgopsu’s comment was far from trolling. And ONE comment got her banned. That’s ridiculous.
To be fair I got a warning, I don't think I was banned
I was “testing their limits” so to speak. And their limits are pretty limited. I have not gone back to try and comment again. Nor will I. The comments are too ridiculous.
I agree...BUT...
There are plenty of avenues and places to bust brutus’ chops. BSD members can do it anywhere at all here at BSD and practically anywhere in the Michigan blogosphere. What does commenting there—in any manner other than participatory discussion—achieve? Other than sullied Penn State reputations, that is?
Look, I know you get it, but these things get momentum and then get easily misconstrued. Remember when Jacobi put up that post of Beaver Stadium band shaping the words White Power? Then some numbskull comes along emulating it with ‘hitler was right?’ (whole post since removed). Trolling is trolling is trolling and like the Supreme Court’s definition of porn, it’s known when it’s seen, and it’s rarely ambiguous.
I hope we, collectively, think about the shoe being on the other foot, and we behave in other living rooms the way we would want others to behave in ours.
A lot of that should go without saying, but obviously I felt it needed said. /PA’d

Uh, duh, I just want your oil.
Good guess there, Sherlock. Ethanol is stupid. Every good farmer knows you shouldn’t burn what you eat.
But there’s this thing called the Atlantic Ocean that has lots of oil, and this thing called the Pacific Ocean that has lots of oil, and this this thing called the Gulf of Mexico that has lots of oil, and this thing called the Marcellus Formation that has lots of gas, and this thing called the Bakken Formation that might have a lot of oil, and this thing called Canada that has a lot, and I mean a lot, of oil.
Seriously though, we annexed the wrong place. We shouldn’t have fought the Mexicans for Texas, we should have fought the British and Canadians for Western Canada. Then we would have had tons of oil, tons of grain, tons of minerals, less of the tensions that led to the Civil War, and most importantly, NO DIRTY TEXANS.

The truth is, for me,
I had no idea until very recently that O$U had a reputation for less than stellar academics and an insecure fan base. My eyes have been opened again and again by their fans who come here to comment. I’m not a fan of trolling their sites myself because frankly I think that IS a sign of immaturity and insecurity…needing to put others down. I really don’t need to put them down, they are doing a fine job of that themselves. But it is awfully easy to become damn prideful of Penn State in this situation.
I agree
but would it technically be trolling if we had rational posts over there and used ONLY the subject line?

There are enough people on SBN that ream you out if you post a picture WITHOUT posting something in the subject line.

I really couldn't resist. I had to post something with it, just because I could.
I don’t actually want to get into a blogfight with them and I don’t really care what they set as their policy (though I’m almost positive the next time I post on there, assuming I don’t get banned I will use the subject line again, just because it is an odd rule to remember. Most forum rules tend to revolve around not being a dick or using profane language, but if they want to be anal about style and grammar I guess that is their right.), but it is interesting that they’d seriously ban people who could positively contribute to the discussion solely because they use the subject line.

4. Being made fun of by BMAN.

My impression of the summer weather is that it’s stupid.
I was able to spend a few days in Houston before my current business trip that took me to, wait for it: Mississippi. It was actually cooler and more bearable in Houston for those few days than it is currently in MS.
Of course, from what I hear about the weather in Houston, the breeze is pretty much gone now and sweltering heat is in. Awesome.

"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."
And the line about you and Rambler was more intended as a compliment.
IE, highlighting the people that tend to get people talking about stuff other than football, which is where I feel BSD really shines as a community, as opposed to just being a sports portal.
"This is being a Penn State fan. We’ll prove it, or we won’t. It’s not about proving it to them, it’s about proving to ourselves."

This what real community is about, not just talking football. Football is what brings us together, but other stuff keeps us friendly. Sometimes I have to remind Mike of that.
Oh…but according to SOME people, we are intolerant and smug, driving away anyone who disagrees with the “groupthink”.
That's unfortunate. You can always hang out here.

Its kind of like being on stage in a debate. On some level its just you and the people you’re up there with, but on another you know there are other people listening. On BSD there’s no way of knowing how big the audience is.

Yeah, the pageviews a day in the last week or so have been astronomical.
I give a lot of credit to Fooge and Ben for really being on top of the basketball coach news. Of course the whole OSU thing certainly doesn’t hurt either. BSD kicks butt at SEO too.
I’m looking forward to Mike being done with re-editing of WAPS thanks to the OSU shake up and getting back to posting here.
