Why do people get so upset at being called a troll when they are in fact trolling? even if it's in a friendly fashion, that's still what those posts are doing.

You are completely missing the point again.

ETA:Every post made is not a troll.

I think there's a difference between playful barbs and being blatantly disrespectful to people. I always love the former, but I feel like there has been too much of the latter lately.

This is a message board though, the respect thing you were talking about, isn't ever gonna be what it was. That was my whole point about the Chelsea hate. No matter what they do, it's wrong and people go apeshit. No matter what I post, I am an ignorant Chelsea fan troll. It's whatever. I do have an a-hole attitude towards one poster on here and it's not Dandy or Capel. They rank way above this guy. I do agree that there are some way over the top people on here, but again, it's a message board and we could all beat the shite out of each other through a keyboard. You also have to deal with slapdicks that are fans of two huge rivals, that write on internet sites(very poorly), that think they are smarter than everyone.

There has. But there have also been a lot of ridiculous "playful" posts lately. And, whether you admit it or not, most come from the Chelsea camp. I am about as fair and level headed of a poster as you will find (despite being a Liverpool fan), and will tell you that the board is slowly deteriorating.

And you may think the board hates Chelsea( and I'm sure plenty of them do) but I don't. And I can say that I have found myself pulling against them because of the nature of posts on this board. So take that how you will. The posts sometimes just go over the top.

There are ways to celebrate your club's success without turning the board against you (see: Beezylsu, LSU Red24, Patch, etc).

I know you mean the best, but you can't deny that you have taken the "trolling" (for lack of a better word) to all-time highs in the past couple months.

Growth, IMO. The more people, the more crazies.

My whole point.

But then again, I don't really see a change. Just people being more vocal about "trolling", taking stuff waaaaaay too seriously, etc.

I know. And that has directly translated into bashing this season.

That's why I said: ya'll made ya'lls bed..

To an extent, but there are also people going way too OT here.

Like I told DB, you may not notice, because it's not your club, but it's crazy the amount of hate Chelsea gets. I know you aren't part of it. But don't expect the Chelsea fans to sit around and not rub people's nose in it if you talk shite and we win. I don't come onto other threads rubbing it in people's faces, I do it right here in the game thread that they littered with anti-Chelsea BS. Seriously, have you ever seen any Chelsea fan run to another teams thread and rub their nose in the fact that Chelsea beat someone?

I must say I have notice a large amount of anti-chelsea sentiment.

Beast, honestly if you think the anti-Chelsea mob started last year, I think you are being naive. Also if you talk shite you should expect it back. Last year was great for Chelsea fans. Couple all the shite talked about Chelsea with fans that had never seen their club win a European title and it's destined to be what it was. Remember, we are reminded constantly about having no history. So when we have a miracle run like we did last year, shite is going to be talked.

Wait, tell us why has it become "insufferable" for you.


If I were a Liverpool fan anything related to soccer would be "insufferable" to me as well at the moment.

I don't mind at all that everyone hates Chelsea and its fans on here, but at least admit it. It's painfully obvious. As Bho has pointed out more crap gets talked about Chelsea than every other team combined so it's pretty silly for everyone to then pretend otherwise.
