Opposition Obsession/Hypocrisy thread

When can I wear long pants and play in the sand-pit?

re: Bay 13

Most of you are grown adults. Your 'sport' is enjoyable to you on your self-rationalised intellectual plane but to most people, you come across as bullies.

Privileged by your upbringing or mental prowess or social class, you seek to inflict mental pain on perceived lesser mortals.

And you call this entertainment.

It's sad.

You remind me of the classical Greek chorus.
Petty, vicious and ultimately weak.

^^^ Not a bad analogy there.

A group of mates sitting around a table at the pub giving each other crap is one thing, but what do you think about that same group if they give crap to someone else they barely know and then collectively point and laugh at that person because they object to it?

Bay 13 is less about humour these days and more about trying to own somebody in a pissing contest. Fortunately I can hold my own in this regard if I choose to do so, but I get precious little time to discuss real footy issues, let alone write a work of fiction.

Could be wrong but think I've been slapped with a large piece of wet lettuce. Smarts, mummy! When can I wear long pants and play in the sand-pit?

Not up to me to say why CP would reduce his contribution on the bay but as an outsider looking in i would suggest he doesn't need to be there on a regular basis to keep up with the groundhog day style that is bay 13. Why make a the trip daily if a monthly visit will give you the same outcome.

Ah Days of Our Lives syndrome.

Nov 5

Poster 1 - Carlton don't need to worry about the salary cap, Judd's Mum has a job as the tea lady at Visy for $1m per year.

Poster 2 - Bahahahahaha, that's gold!

Carlton Poster - Actually, the AFL have to approve all jobs with sponsors, it isn't as simple as you think.

Poster 3 - Aww, Carltank need a tissue? You've been pwned. Hahaha scum cheaters

Dec 5

Poster 1 - Salary cap, what salary cap? Just go to Carlton and get a job at Visy as the toilet attendant changing dunny paper for a thousand dollars per sheet.

Poster 2 - Bahahahahaha. GOLD!!!!!

Carlton Poster - It's not possible, it has to be approved by the AFL and they won't approve a contract that is not fair value while a player works for a sponsor.

Poster 3 - Give it up Carltank supporters, you get humiliated every time you attempt to defend that tanking, cheating, pricefixing scum.

Carlton Poster - What are you on about?

Poster 3 - What are Carltank on about with cheating to win all their flags? Scum!

Poster 2 - LMAO, more gold

One day I'm gonna walk into the street and really listen hard. Bet I don't hear a single internet user laughing out loud. Not one. Don't get it. Windows closed maybe? Or maybe.......................they never were?

Ouch, the floor was hard, that is gonna hurt like a bitch in the morning. Fortunately my arse won't hurt as that fell off amidst all the laughter.

Now you know what that light sand and reseal every 3-5 years was all about on the Cabots can. Tweezers in medicine cabinet.

I think my pain threshold can handle the light sanding but the resealing part doesn't make me awash with anticipation. Can't I just apply a nice stain?

Biff, this isn't a Bay 13 banter thread where you come to play a game of oneupmanship. The onus is on opposition supporters to be respectful and generally constructive.

And I hasten to add this.

IMO 80% of Bay 13 is repetitive crap. 15% is average, 5% is gold - and it is this latter category that makes it worthwhile.

No-one is conscripted to Bay 13. Everyone participates freely. Its limitations are well known. At its most rudimentary level it is a 'hit or be hit' dynamic. And yes there are bullies in circulation - I could name two off the top of head. And some might make this accusation of me at times.

If people venture into Bay 13 of their own accord - in contrast with being smugly domiciled in, say, the Carlton Fort Apache, then they are not operating in a consequence-free dynamic.

But when it works well, it is marvellous fun.

Some of the recent comments in this thread remind me of a group of twelve year old boys who are too scared to dance with the girls.

A little knowledge may be but zero knowledge means just don't comment. Which playwright, which play? Oh dear. The Greek chorus was a group of men who stood virtually in the orchestra pit of the stage during the classic period of Greek literature. They commented, heckled and challenged the actors and apparently were considered as important as the actors themselves - although ultimately as SOS suggests they were quite separate from the action.

You should educate yourself a little before jumping head first into the dreaded pit of humiliation. They hide this stuff in books.

 

[Biffinator]

Biff, this isn't a Bay 13 banter thread where you come to play a game of oneupmanship. The onus is on opposition supporters to be respectful and generally constructive.

Agreed, and I try to abide by these rules.

Even so, I am allowed to point out generalisations when they constitute part of the argument.

And on that point, I will depart. Please let me know when you have the time to participate in the discussion. After Christmas is OK for me as well.

I am looking forward to it. There are plenty of foibles - including some of my own - on display on Bay 13.

At threat of fumbling the correct meaning of the word "irony" I shall avoid its use but is there a tiny chance you might see that you've placed your clumsy great foot in yet another pile of steaming dung? Any at all?

Further, 5% of shit is still shit. If that's worthwhile in your book I'm not surprised you're content to freestyle in the shitter all your deluded, self-congratulatory days.

So you are defending something that is 5% quality and being critical of those that remain here and criticise something, even though they are probably 80-95% correct in their criticisms? Okay then ...

Biffinator.

My understanding of the chorus is that it is typically the underlying subconscious of the protagonists of a Greek play.

Not rational, sane, edifying, or consistent. It exists to echo fears, subtexts, agendas and lies. Judge, jury and executioner. Think of it as the twittering women who used to bring their knitting to witness the guillotine at work in revolutionary France. No sense, rhyme or reason, just a pack of mindless, petty bickering dolts who gain some perceived relevance by their numbers, by their repetitive whispering, and by their presence at the event.


Of course I was generalising. And I will never read another Greek play as long as I live.

I find it amusing that people would start threads to complain about someone else complaining.

ODN, can you not see the irony at play here?*





* Not bay 13 style one upmanship, that can be found here.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Umm no. Our targets are not Bay 13 posters that complain, our target is Bay 13 posters who post tripe and have a schoolyard gang mentality where the victor is whoever has the most like minded persons to proclaim them the victor.

If someone started a thread elsewhere saying that they are sick of Carlton supporters bagging them and we started a thread to complain about their complaint, then you might have a point.
