Re: doogeatdoog, A message from a soon to be former poaster

Just received this message from a guy (who shall remain anonymous) that I've interacted with over the years on DM and HH: "Just a quick personal note to say thanks for your perspectives on UW football over the years. I haven't always agreed with you, but I've appreciated your passion for the program. I had hoped this site would be a place to have fun discussing football, but even the few promising threads ultimately devolve into insults and name calling. While I certainly don't always agree with Kim, after hanging out here for a while, he has a point: some of the shtick gets old after a while. The older I get, the more I judge activities by whether I enjoy them, and I simply don't enjoy having my intelligence questioned by a bunch of internet idiots. Perhaps I will catch you in the future at another site somewhere between DM and HH. Anyway, carry on the good fight and feel free to drop an email if you want to discuss Dawgs."

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.

    I'm offended by the gay ($75k) jokes. My brother is gay ($75k). Can we stop that too?

    Mods? Devs?

    No one is ever really ready for ass rape.
    The six most recent ass rapes are consensual.

    The Political Correctness virus always starts the same way: "I don't like your tone." And spreads from there. (Fuck the message, shoot the messenger.) It's called passion, and we're all big boys in here - I think. 99.9% of the meanest, nastiest shit I've read or had thrown my way I take in jest, because I'd rather have people insult me than assault me, steal my shit, hurt me or my family, fuck with my job, etc. The rest of the world didn't grow up valuing free speech and didn't learn or comprehend "sticks and stones" so they freak the fuck out over cartoons or hurtful words. Do we want to be like that? Fuck no.

    What's going on here is a long-time poster no longer feels the love, or finds the petulant shit boring. So, instead of ignoring it, this poster chooses to blackmail posters with threats of "if you don't change, I'll leave." Well, that's always anyone's choice, isn't it? We all reach a point where we lament the current climate because "it's not like before." Well, that's life isn't it? A brand new car will lose it's luster, and so will everything else.

    People should self-regulate, and generally do, as funny or nasty shit gets old quick. But if you don't like what you're seeing or hearing, the answer isn't to tut-tut or shame a bunch of nasty, drunk, angry football fans, but to step back or step away, re-calibrate and decide whether to retire, take a LOA, or roll up your sleeves and be part of the solution my writing better posts. The answer will never be to chill people's passions, get pissy when things are getting too rough, and try to exert control by acting like mean girls, talking and scheming behind people's backs, etc. In my view, that's a far worse and sinister offense than one guy telling another to suck a bag of dicks.

    My unvarnished overrall response to this thread is as follows (and it is actually for real, without too many jokes and stuff, which is hard for me to):

    I do see a bit of what some folks are saying, and I say that as one of the chief bombthrowers, smartasses, and sexists on here. It can get a bit over the top around here. And, it is certainly monotonous. Some of these jokes have been used about Avogadro's number of times, that's right, one mole of times for you Chem nerds. So yeah, I get it. I don't really know how to change it, and I am still not sure it should change, but I can see that some would find it tiresome and old.

    The counterpoint to these items is as follows:

    If you don't like scantily clad women, well, this isn't the site for you. I mean, it's not like DJ let's full blown nudity on here. These are basically bikini shots - and in most cases, no more slutty/seductive than the yearly SI swimsuit issue, or a 30 minute Victoria Secret infomercial on basic cable - not sure what that says about society now, but it is the truth. In fact, my last .gif with the girl rolling over...she actually has MORE on than some of the SI girls - and I REALLY did receive a couple of complaints about it, and some other just funny PM's. So yeah, if you find that offensive, don't turn on your TV, never get on the internet, and don't look at Sears circulars in the Sunday Paper (bra ads ftw).

    Cursing. Um, see above. It's the internet.

    Inside jokes. Well, this one is tricky. I have been trading these jokes for 5 or so years now from just before HHBV1 to now. Some of these guys go back quite a bit farther than that (like old old Freebird days). I hate to take a "it is what it is" stance, but it sort of is. When the same 10-12 people, who all LOVE UW Football, have been trading jokes for 5-10 years, this is what you get. I will grant you, it isn't inclusive feeling to new members, but shit man, I have personally seen 5-10 new members spend about a month on here, and not only get used to it, but embrace it. Like the "New Members Post" says, lurk a bit, and you will get it. If you just don't like it, as opposed to not understanding it, I don't know what to say. Perhaps it should be toned down a bit, who am I to say, but I doubt it will.

    Blasting people and callinghem ignorant. I am just going to assume that Aubbie sent Passion the PM. I probably blasted him more than anyone in that thread. Totally over the top, and I am fine with it to be perfectly honest. I like Aubs fine, but the fact is he really does move goalposts, make excuses, and generally Doog it up, all after saying he was drawing a line in the sand. It's a joke. And, after just watching our 10th dismantling in a row, I had had it with that crap. I know others must have felt the same. I really do believe that fans like him (and far far worse than him) are what allowed Husky Football to fall to this low ebb. So, not going to apologize. At the same time, it isn't like I would try to kick his ass at the Aurora 7-11 if I ever met him. I would probably give him some shit for his opinions, but not in some hardcore way. If you can't take someone calling you an asshole after that game, then grow thicker skin. I have been called much worse in PM's from the Doog Nation on Doogfarm. I have yet to lose one second of sleep over it. Nor did I run away from it, I got banned instead. People need to learn the difference.

    Has anyone here ever really read Tiger Droppings or Shaggy Bevo? It is just as over the top there as here. Tons of half nude .gif's, retard jokes, inside jokes, hoping Coaching staffs get run over by semi's, misogynistic picture threads, etc. That is what makes them fun. But, these kind of sites aren't for everyone. I don't suppose girls would like them (who cares), or dudes who might as well be girls, or any Sounders fan. But, if you have some hair on your balls, and roll with stuff a little bit, I think this place can be fun, for almost anyone (as long as you aren't BleenorFS). PostGameOrange and I downvote each other all the time, and flip shit, and then in the next thread we are man crushing all over each other with 22 upvotes in a row. Who gives a shit.

    So, in the words of every great HS Football Coach in the world, "rub some dirt on it pussy, and get back in the game."

    Negativity. This board goes as UW Football goes, and when it is the 12th year in a row with no chance at a Rose Bowl, in mid-October, well you can figure the rest out. DJ said my thoughts here much more eloquently above anyway.

    The one area I can really see me agreeing, to an extent, is in the lack of football discussion at times. I myself should probably talk 20 percent more football, and 20 percent less one liners. This area is also sort of influenced by the negativity discussion above. How many times can we discuss Mariota running all over us, and Keith price running for his life? Two or three threads about our total lack of pass rush, and that topic is pretty well dead. I am pretty sure we don't even have a band anymore, so not much to talk about there. Etc.

    Jesus Christ. I went TequillaFS with this reponse. Nobody will even be reading by now, so I will slip in a clever little FUCK OFF.
    I can't even tell what's a recycled post from 2011 or real anymore. The response will probably be a recycled post.

    I've never understood why people don't just stop going to a site they don't like, instead of giving some big explanation. Who cares what you like - if you don't like THIS site, then go find another one that doesn't hurt your feelings or harm your sensibilities.

    It's like a bar. Every one is different, with different crowds. If you're a little soft with thin skin, you're going to look for a different style bar than a tuff logger does. Don't go to the logger's bar and ask them to play Manilow and Lionel; Ritchie. Just leave, and go find the faggy bar that does play that shit. Now you're happy, and the loggers are happy.

    This site is as good as it gets. Sure you have to wade through some over-the-top stuff, but the crowd here knows funny, they know the UW program, and they know football. Not everyone mind you, but the bulk of the membership takes football seriously. If you can't see that and learn to deal with the abrasive stuff, then just gtfo - asking everyone else to change the way they do things is bunk. The world doesn't need to conform to you, and it won't - so buck up, junior, or move on.

    Somehow, I don't think this guy leaving is going to have any detrimental effect on this site, because someone else will show up that does like the way it is here. I say keep the site as is, and let this guy's replacement take the ball. Everyone talks about the pussification of Seattle - is the pussification of HH next because some sand gets in someon e's crack?

    I hope not.

    I don't think Manilow and loggers are necessarily exclusive:
