Someone ought to just drop a bomb on NSB, shouldn't they?

Originally posted by Rockin' View PostIt does get rediculous really fast in NSB, I haven't posted much in there in the years that I have been here. Not because I don't have an opinion but rather because I don't care to be involved in a debate with somebody who has some sort of agenda to fulfill based on little or no knowledge at all.
Ironically enough, often times the 'debate' (if you could even label it that) that a NSB poster wants to have with you has nothing at all to do with your actual post.
Here's an example I'm sure many of you will nod your head in agreement with.
You go into NSB after a fight, and click on one of the 239 active threads discussing it. Once in the thread you post your thoughts on what went down.
Example :
"I was really impressed by (insert fighter here)'s performance. After what I saw tonight, I'm inclined to believe he will defeat (insert potential future opponet here)."
"Oh yeah? Well (fighter in your avatar) is a ****ing p*ssy!"
"Why don't you go back to sucking (fighter in your sig)'s balls?"
It literally happens all the time, and it's why I simply refuse to discuss boxing here anymore. It's okay to be a fan of a certain fighter or style, but it's something else entirely to be so rabidly supportive of that fighter or style to the point where you become incoherent and simply attack everybody with a differing viewpoint when it comes to "your guy".
I mean, all of us know each other's favorite fighters : Reed's is Roy, Anorak's is Danny Williams, Mine is Hopkins, etc... But most of us "old school" users are a lot more honest about their abilities, and much more tolerant of conflicting opinions.
(Cue sarcastic post attacking a favorite fighter of mine.)

I catch alot of **** for saying this but if you have not laced them up then there are certain things that you will never truely know about the sport. Not being a dick here, just stating the obvious.

One thing I did a few years back was change my location on my profile to "New York". Most people know that I'm a piss-taking Green Teef anyway, but I just sick and tired of trying to engage in NSB threads and reading "you didn't enjoy x's performance last night? I guess Hatton performed really well against Pacquaio then, right?"
And I'm thinking "I haven't MENTIONED Ricky Hatton. I don't even LIKE Ricky Hatton. At no point anywhere in his career has Hatton even come CLOSE to entering my top 100 P4P dishes. The guy is distinctly unhandsome, and I don't like it when he farts."

Continuing this rant, then one NSB converse that's really bugging me with its stupidity lately - and it tells you how bad it is, that me and Kev actually AGREED last night, a sign of armageddon, surely - is at least once a week someone will make a "could Froch ever beat Ward?" thread. And it'll be full of people saying "Hell no, no way, he wouldn't even be able to be in a close fight with Ward." So I'll point out - something that seems OBVIOUS - that, despite how the majority of us saw their fight, two judges preferred what Carl did in closeish rounds, and made it 7-5. So, theoretically, it's entirely possible for Froch to "win" a bout against Andre Ward on the cards, if it seems judges prefer his style.
