PM to the Board from a soon-to-be former HCH poster after today's nonsense


The guy that sent me this note is NO fan of kim or any of the other jerks over at DM.
Look, I'm not going to advocate for people to be censored (like the d-bags that ruined DM), nor am I going to lecture anybody. I will only say that this website has the opportunity to become a REAL and UNFILTERED alternative to DM. The problem is that a few folks on here insist on turning threads into name-calling and 8th-grade-level cursing contests, or just an opportunity to 'zing' other people.
I'll be the first to say that at times I've been guilty of that BS as well.
I guess my only suggestion is that some folks should decide if they want this to become the website that ALL OF US have described at one time or another - a place of INTELLIGENT analysis where INTENSE criticism and UNSCRIPTED opinion is welcome - or do we want HH to be just a place of one-liners, biting insults, and contests to tear down others. I realize that it's often both, but I tend to agree with this guy that it tilts a little too much toward the latter.
Just a thought. Peace. Now fire away.

Here's some perspective for you:
It's June. Fuck Perspective. -
One thing I've learned after two years of moderating this place: We become restless and ultimately wig out in the off season.
I looked at this board today and thought, what a bunch of morons we are. But on the other hand, unless one of the UW players gets a DUI or Petersen suddenly fires Jonathan Smith, there is nothing to talk about in regards to Husky football. Not until August. -
We're morons, but I've been laughing my ass off all afternoon and evening. This place is well worth the 50 cents I donated to your money grab the last time around.DerekJohnson said:One thing I've learned after two years of moderating this place: We become restless and ultimately wig out in the off season.

All the reason in the world not to be optimistic about next season:DerekJohnson said:One thing I've learned after two years of moderating this place: We become restless and ultimately wig out in the off season.

Most analysis right now is just speculation. How many different ways can we argue about whether Lenius will be a productive receiver? Until we have more information (August), there's not a whole lot of analysis to be done, even by the moast INTELLIGENT of us.
Edit: dammit, wooshed again!! -
I think Grundle's post was a whoosh. I vaguely remember that post from awhile back when HH was just getting started.DerekJohnson said:One thing I've learned after two years of moderating this place: We become restless and ultimately wig out in the off season.

You are right Stalin. There isn't anything to talk about in regards to UW football. -
Honestly a few days ago I was all set to send Derek $7.11 or so and a note saying I was basically out until late August, but it's like I can't quit this place.
It's 60% idiotic revenge of the nerds and 40% funny...maybe vice versa on a good day.
Plus Puppy is always good for the laffs. -

So let me get this straight... If you had left until August you were going to donate something. But because you've decided to stay and use the site everyday, you're not donating anything.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Honestly a few days ago I was all set to send Derek $7.11 or so and a note saying I was basically out until late August, but it's like I can't quit this place.

Some of the posts are a little over the top, and I'm guilty as anyone sometimes, but this site has a good balance between the fball talk and frivolity right now.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Honestly a few days ago I was all set to send Derek $7.11 or so and a note saying I was basically out until late August, but it's like I can't quit this place.

The gifs, memes, and girls are great. You're not going to find that on the corporate sites. -
This forum is what happens when 20+ trolls meet. I get really fucking irritated with some of the repetitive jokes here...it's not funny IMO. I yawn.. That said, I post on some various facebook boards and typically become one of the dominant-asshole-trolls myself on many of those boards, out of boredom. I probably get called an asshole at least once a week on at least one of those. Ive realized that I am an arrogant prick. There are a lot of narcissistic trolls here on this site, myself included....perhaps we are just naturally drawn to one another...sort of like how inmates are drawn to each others' criminal knowledge in a prison. I accept that some are going to possibly annoy me as much as I will probably and inevitably annoy them with my own style of posting...but ultimately I would appreciate this site more if it cut out the fat and were less repetitive and had more creativity. I get bored easily with the 23 daily repitions. Props to Derek Johnson for moderating this site...I wouldn't want that job.I suspect one day hell get very tired of doing it, especially with the repeated stuff.Dardanus said:Most analysis right now is just speculation.

Seems ironic to complain about people on the Internet questioning your intelligence while also calling them idiots via the Internet.
I'm also not sure why he's so interested in talking football with people that he considers idiots.
In conclusion, if he'd like to jerk off to X's and O's talk he can email you. If he'd like to take the sand out of his vagina, start acting like a man and post here again then fuck off. We don't want him anyways. -
Thinning the herd?

the inside jokes are probably the biggest challenge for many who come over here. to DJ's point (I call him DJ... I like to do that), after the Stanford game the board was full of actual football discourse. as the Black Out program that Pool Boy built like a phoenix from a pile of purple and gold ashes flies back up to the altitude of a Duck for the annual clownstomp, then yes people get frustrated and need to remind each other that programs like Oregon can have 3 coaches in 6 years yet be in the national conversation while we seem to need a guy for at least 6 years to be given a chance to develop consistency... oh, and that guy was actually called out by our non-resident big data sage indirectly with reference to coaching probabilities by year 3 (Hi Hugh!)... anyways, this post is now officially TL;DR so I forgot what I was talking about.

If you can't see that the passive aggressive tactic used by @Anonymous summarizes everything that is wrong with Husky football (and the state of Washington in general), I can't help you.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Here's some perspective for you:

MAy e we need a special higher discussion board and a lower insult board.

Sounds to me like there might be a little cabin fever brewing at the old HH fishing lodge.

Fuck that guy!

Since you are offering I have always wondered where your name originates from. I am also new to all this lingo and have figured out at least 81% of it myself just lurking but still haven't figured out your name yet.CuntWaffle said:Fuck that guy!

It's from a random PLSS poast. I immediately made an account after being a long time lurker of 3 minutes.GrundleStiltzkin said:

An observation about this site:sarktastic said:Sounds to me like there might be a little cabin fever brewing at the old HH fishing lodge.
It's the class of Pac-12 message boards, while simultaneously the board with the least amount of "classiness". It's more fun this way. -

There is nothing wrong with serious talk... But if you can't handle internet sarkasm you should probably LEAVE!

You must have missed my Sark's lack of OL recruiting post and Adam Jude being upset about someone asking a good question as to why ASJ sucks?CuntWaffle said:I have nothing wrong with serious talk... But if you can't handle internet sarkasm you should probably LEAVE!

This bored is fine. No one is stopping others from opening an online forum where they can moderate it at somewhere between here and doogman.
