Opposition Obsession/Hypocrisy thread

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

FWIW sherb, I'll do you a favour and leave the thread now (I have the 2nd half of a football game to watch).

My intention wasn't to stir - or troll as you would suggest - but simply to make an observation on why Carlton might be coping as much as they are of late. As someone who has gone head-to-head with many Carlton supporters I thought I might be of assistance.

Your response does underscore the point I made in my first and subsequent posts though.

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

ODN, can I ask a simple question . . . why do think Carlton are trolled so much lately?

Because there is so much ammunition. Don't pretend for a second it is because our posters are trolling proportionate to what they are copping. Basically, every thread is derailed, our supporters cry jealousy, the trolls say 'jealous of what.' The real issue is that we don't roll over and allow every thread to get derailed. Check out every Carlton thread and you will find that the first sign of trouble at least 3 out of 4 times comes from an opposition supporter.

(and FWIW, I agree with you that Carlton cop it more than any other team of late)

This hasn't always been the case. West Coast, Collingwood & even St Kilda have had their time "in the sun" when it comes to BF & trolling. It can't be bacuse of the past, it can't even be because of your spoons because during that period you weren't trolled like you are now. The amount of trolling of Carlton is higher now than it's ever been.

Now I'm sure some people will use the "fear" excuse but I don't see that either. Maybe last year when Judd came on board but I don't see that now.

It is definitely the Judd factor. We were an easy target before because we sucked. The window for bagging us because we suck is starting to slowly close so instead people start preparing for their excuses for how we have improved. Often, just an expression of happiness that we have got a player, a staff member, a new sponsor etc, turns into a whole Carlton supporters think they are going to win a flag blah blah. Well guess what, very few Carlton supporters have talked flags, only building for a flag.

As for Lance, I really can't be bothered. If you think he was a good captain and wasn't an embarrassment then I doubt anything I say will change your mind on that. I can't remember the last time a captain was benched for being too fat but you seem to think that's an off-field matter.

You fail to comprehend. I said he wasn't a good captain because he could not lead on the field due to injury. He was a liability out there. He was a great onfield leader prior to getting the captaincy, when he wasn't injured however. See, I offer a balanced opinion and yet again, you fail to address what I say.

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

Indeed.

I really could go on, but I would not what to get carded.

Is that a concession that you can't articulate your opinion without trolling? I have issued an open invitation for reasoned discussion. If you want to articulate an answer respectfully, then I have no issue. We have a discussion thread on our perceived culture opposition fans are invited to contribute in as well. We received those criticisms well and debated fairly. The fact you think you will get carded for your responses, probably confirms why we discuss the issues here, so that cardable stuff can not be introduced.

I would love to hear your views on all things Carlton Stronzo. Maybe without all the bravado and egging on, we can get a better understanding if you care to tackle it.

Without this thread being created and someone naming him he wouldn't be here.

It doesn't matter that he is here. I have no issue with it. He can't troll us because of the location. People are forced to use their communication skills when they can't merely dismiss someone out of hand.

Seriously JD, you know why Carlton gets trolled so much? Not so much to do with Carlton's BF supporters I dont think. Although some trolls do contribute to this (not me).

Nor is it a "fear" factor as you correctly put it.

I honestly think its because Carlton is linked to every player rumoured to be on the move.

Re: Opposition obsession thread

Ok, I will say my piece then. I am not aware of what standards you enforce here, but from what I've read you're stricter than most boards.

I have higlighted some specific points in this epic post of yours, so bear with me while I dissect them.

To the recent interlopers, if you had taken the time to read the opening post, you will know that the purpose of this thread was to keep the natives in here returning fire to some of the plethora of obsessed opposition supporters instead of returning fire out there and getting themselves carded with monotonous regularity. We control this domain. I was seeing a lot of our guys baited and punished for retaliation while some real fanciful and repetitive myths out there were left intact. The thread isn't here for us to have a whinge. It is here so we know exactly who is full of crap out there and to store their little contentions away.

We know we are going to get trolled and despite your assertions, it has nothing to do with what our supporters put out on other boards. In the majority of cases, even the ones that are trolling other clubs had just had enough of taking it all the time, so just decided to fight fire with fire.

For someone to enter this thread and point to trolling by any Carlton posters on another board as being the reason why Carlton supporters cop it so much on BigFooty, simply highlights a lack of awareness of what is around them. Carlton will be trolled unmercifully regardless of whether we comment or not and have done for years. They are a hated club for many reasons, and years of sound logic being totally ignored have told me this will not change.

Many many groups of fans on BF have been incredibly arrogant so that is not a reason. You might find a couple of teams hate Hawthorn so their supporters might seek them out, the same with the Eagles, the Saints etc, but everyone hates Carlton and Collingwood but with Carlton we have a recent lack of success, Visy, Pratt, salary cap issues etc, to keep people entertained for hours.

Nooo, this thread is not here to be all insular and have a sook. It is here as a watchdog, to record the idiocy of some posters for all time, it is here to get up their nose that they can't do anything about the thread, can't delete it, can't hit it with inane ramblings in numbers, can't refute anything with nonsense. If they want to come in and defend themselves, they have to do so articulately. That challenges a few to come out of their comfort zone for sure.

Play by numbers, you say to worry about our own conduct to create less backlash. In your 12 months as a registered user, have you noticed endless Dick Pratt/Visy threads, endless threads about how we must be cheating the cap again, endless threads about chasing players? Every single thread turns into a 'cheats, tankers etc' shitfight. No amount of reasoning, explanations or articulate argument i.e decent conduct has done one thing to change any of those threads. There has not been ONE single thread on a board outside of the Carlton board, where our culture has not been denigrated, whether it just be signing Robert Harvey, re-signing Fev, building new facilities, looking at international rookies, you name it. Every single issue involving the Carlton Football Club, an aspect of our past is weaved into it to make it be considered on topic. This is regardless of our conduct within those threads.

I'm sorry but you only see what you want to see and you are sadly mistaken in your theories.

This is no whingefest, this is calculated storing away in the memory banks.

We decided quite a while ago that nobody was interested in the truth about Carlton issues so we would accept the vitriol and turn it to our advantage. In a sense, I am not sure you guys are in here to provide some helpful advice. You are in here because this thread is a little irking and insulting to others and its existence makes you incredulous ... probably the same way the repetitive childish derailing of every Carlton thread elsewhere does.

I think we will keep it for the moment.

Ok, to begin with I would like to say that I think this thread IS here to have a sook. The process of naming opposition supporters as trolls, and creating a thread about them to critique them IS whinging. Whether you want to call it a watchdog thread, or a guide book of who to avoid or whatever, it is sooking. If you go through this thread and read the responses there really isn't that much naming and shaming anyway. Just people complaining about other posters coming on here, which flows nicely into my next point.

You ARE being insular, calling us interlopers, doubting our intentions, the siege mentality of "everyone hates carlton", the basic victim thesis you are promoting, the constant recurring issues people have with the perceived over-moderation of this board, and the belief that no-one want to discuss anything Carlton rationally.

Finally, I think it is ludicrous to take the stance that your supporters have nothing to do with carlton being trolled. This relates also to the insularity you seem to promote with threads like these. You know the saying "it takes two to tango" or Newton's law "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"? Well these are true. Your posters do not cover themselves in glory on other team boards nor on the drafting board, the main board, or bay 13 (that is a given for all though), the Warnock trade has illustrated this point time and again these last 2 weeks. And we are not alone, WC posters have expressed to me similar sentiments at Carlton posters trolling their board.

I really don't think this thread is going to achieve anything. Trolls will realise carlton posters are a bit precious, you'll probably brush off what I and others have to add, and at the end, you'll still have that siege mentality: everyone is against you, its not fair, we control this environment, other supporters don't like this thread because we control it.

Hope Warnock goes well for you

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

And that would be different to other clubs? Are you seriously trying to tell me that a St Kilda thread on the main board doesn't get trolled?

In fact . . . and this will probably get me in trouble here . . . but one of your fellow mods is one of the worst offenders with his "what about your club" replies (which last time I checked was against the rules on the main board). He never fails, every Carlton thread on the main board he enters it's his standard reply.

I'd probably even go as far to suggest many of Bigfooty's mods are some of the worst offenders on the main board. I could give you a dozen examples just with threads on the first page.

What does amaze me, and this thread is a good example, is why Carlton supporters are so precious. It is why people troll you. Christ you just have to look at the obsession Carlton supporters have with me (yeah, yeah, pot/kette/etc). I have been trolled by Carlton supporters on NFL forums, St Kilda forums, hell even Wikipedia has been given a go. I would guess any search on any Carlton forum with the word "JeffDunne" would get results - and I don't post on any of them (this one excluded).

People post to get a reaction. You'd hope that the reaction people are after is positive - but we know that's not how it works. People bait to get a reaction and Carlton supporters never fail to give them that reaction to even the most moronic of trolls. It is why Bay 13 is full of Carlton threads.

If you want to stop the trolling maybe you should be encouraging your fellow supporters to ignore them and let the threads disappear rather than attempting to give them trolling material to fight back.

Just a thought.

Next time, just name me, JD, don't beat around the bush with comments such as "but one of your fellow mods is one of the worst offenders with his "what about your club" replies". And if you think my posts on the main board are in breach of the rules, by all means report the posts & leave it up to the main board Moderators to determine if the rules are being breached.

I will repeat once again, something I have said over & over again. I reserve the right to defend my football club when I think it is being unfairly maligned. Particularly when someone like you, JD, jumps into a thread about Robert Harvey being appointed to a position at Carlton & makes a 'snide' remark about chasing Visy dollars. If in defending my club I find it relevant to make comparisons with other clubs (given much of what my club gets accused of has been done by other clubs in the competition), I will do so. If you don't like it, don't read any of my posts. I am not going to change my posting style to appease you.

Thank you for your observations. I would like to start by saying that you are incorrect in your assertions, and because I started the thread, I can say that with a great deal more surety than you can. With me so far? Good.

I would go as far as to say that your interest in this thread is quite amusing in itself. Nobody likes to find themselves up on a post office wall and nobody likes there obviously fabricated comments to be proven wrong and have them held up for everyone to see. The want to troll, disappear, be forgotten about and then come back and alter their stance once they figure everyone has forgotten. I really don't think you care whether we appear precious or not, in fact I think you would prefer it that way as it adds to the Bay 13 arsenal.

I would also like to point out that in your year or so here, you probably haven't noticed as much as I have in my 8 years here. I can safely say that we cop it when we are trolling, when we are being reasonable, when we are not around. I'm not phased by that Stronzo. I just want them to know that we know. To suggest that because the odd Carlton supporter trolls a team board here and there, is the reason why we cop it so much on every single serious Carlton thread, is fanciful. Other threads are not continually filled with the amount of crap that our threads are, and I can name trolls from every single team that visit other team boards. The supporters here do not reap what they sow, we reap what the club sows. If we are down we are an easy target, if we are improving, then our history or culture has to be targetted. You don't need to confirm this for me. I will gladly back my sitewide observations. I dare say I hang out on the main board more than you were discussion is supposed to be more constructive, but really isn't.

When you use the term 'your posters' to describe wrongdoings, you make it seem as though it is most of our supporters. The truth is only a small percentage act up on other boards and opposition supporters are only too happy to take it out on other decent Carlton posters in retaliation. It's opportunism at its finest.

I am kind of liking the fact that this thread is whinging or sooking in your eyes but you seem to be complaining about its existence. By your logic, we are bringing up something we don't like = whinging. You highlighting the wrongness of this thread = whinging.

Could it be that we are just taking the piss here which clearly is not whinging? Could it be that your presence here is just taking the piss?

Re: Opposition obsession thread

Look how quickly this main board thread about Nick Davis turned into a Carlton bagging exercise. One of our naughty posters must have just trolled elsewhere and forced them to do it huh Stronzo?

ODN, I am here because you taunted me with claims of false bravado, you basically gave me the all-clear, now you're questioning my being here?

My initial reason for appearing on this thread was a tip off I recieved that I had been "outed" on the carlton board. I was a little dissappointed to realise what I'd been outed for.

You are right, I don't really care about how Carlton is perceived, nor how this thread adds or subtracts from that perception. What I am interested in though, is the subject of trolling and dealing with trolls. This thread presents a few interesting discussions on the matter.

Not much I can argue with here. You are targeted more than most, but I think all clubs cop it. Speaking as a fremantle supporter I think I know that better than most, we don't get much respect from anyone, but we don't create name and shame threads to bemoan that fact and our mods tolerate a certain level of trolling from opposition. It is afterall a football forum and sometimes the shit stirring can be a great laugh for both sides.

So you had a vested self interest in this thread. You were disappointed and were registering your complaint ... yes? Now do I go all simple minded here and take that as a sook?

It does. If you have been outed (I didn't notice it btw), and have reacted, did that not put the shoe on the other foot momentarily???? See what we did there? And the thing is we didn't go about running you down, we just posted what you posted for comment.

Hence you disappointment?

It could well be, but you would've made that clear a lot earlier on and not gone to the trouble of posting the amount of text that you have.

Not taking the piss by having the thread, that is a vehicle for response. Taking the piss out of the tragics who keep popping up on it ... absolutely. It's not as though every trolling post is here by the way. Posters can use it when they are amused or annoyed by something. Instead of getting themselves carded, they can post it here, have a laugh, have a rant, whatever, and avoid trouble on other boards. Getting sucked in by a troll is one thing, getting sucked in and carded is another. I'd prefer to keep most of our guys around.

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

Just out of interest, what do you think constitutes a troll?

Just of out of interest Jeff could you finally explain your fascination with all things Carlton.

You seem to be drawn to just about any Carlton post on BF like a moth to a navy blue light. A quick search of your posting history reveals a massive percentage of your posts (excluding the peculiar interest with the NFL) are in response or relation to a Carlton topic (regardless of board). I don't think it a stretch to state you post more on Carlton topics than St Kilda.

Your obviously pretty quick on your toes, quite the wordsmith, and can change tack on an issue like a veteran politician...but in plain, black and white easy to understand terminology can you state why you have such a deep seated interest in Carlton.

Re: Opposition Hall of Shame

Next time, just name me, JD, don't beat around the bush with comments such as "but one of your fellow mods is one of the worst offenders with his "what about your club" replies". And if you think my posts on the main board are in breach of the rules, by all means report the posts & leave it up to the main board Moderators to determine if the rules are being breached.

Why would I bother reporting posts if they're posted from a moderator?

When they do pick up your trolls they simply delete your posts. Anyone else gets carded.

That's why you bait people. Fortunately we're not all that stupid.

I will repeat once again, something I have said over & over again. I reserve the right to defend my football club when I think it is being unfairly maligned. Particularly when someone like you, JD, jumps into a thread about Robert Harvey being appointed to a position at Carlton & makes a 'snide' remark about chasing Visy dollars. If in defending my club I find it relevant to make comparisons with other clubs (given much of what my club gets accused of has been done by other clubs in the competition), I will do so. If you don't like it, don't read any of my posts. I am not going to change my posting style to appease you.

So you'll completely ignore the rules of that board?

Pretty much what I'd expect.
