As a certified Message Board Expert, here are my thoughts. I don’t see anything wrong with rivals conversing on a message board. Call me crazy, but I think it’s possible for guys to root for opposing teams and still have civil and entertaining discussions. In fact, I think it actually benefits a board to have opposing viewpoints because it helps to keep the lunatics in check, and let’s be honest, sometimes it’s fun to argue with/laugh at opposing fans. Hell I would enjoy having some more reasonable (keyword) MSU posters on Nafoom (pls come back to us Lyle). I enjoy the interaction, which is why I also post here. At the end of the day it’s all for entertainment. Some people take this stuff way too seriously.
With that said, I recognize this is an MSU board, that I’m a visitor here, so I don’t come here trying to antagonize or troll. I don’t come in with TO THE RESCUE posts trying to interject the Bear point of view at every opportunity. On the exceedingly rare occasions that OM has done something wrong, I will even occasionally acknowledge it.
I think the mistake some OM posters make is trying to combat everything said about OM. I probably disagree with 90% of the stuff said here about OM, but that’s to be expected; it’s an MSU board. It's better to pick and choose times when a topic is worthy of legitimate discussion or a poster has said something so idiotic that ridicule is in order. (There used to be more opportunities for this before a certain band of idiots departed.)

I know this is going to be hard for you to understand but not everybody thinks that two rival fan bases can't have civil discussions.
Well I can't speak for anyone else, but as you can see, I'm not a regular poster. This is only my 30th post actually.
I come hear to read what others are saying.
My usual day goes like this:
Check Red Cup for a few minutes after my alarm goes off but before I get up (to shake off the grog).
Check SixPack during my morning dump (usually around 9:30).
Check Team Speed and the SBNation site of that week's opponent during my morning snack (usually around 10:30).
Recheck Red Cup during lunch. Make some rounds to the others depending on time. I may check ED during this time (to see the crazies).
My afternoon is just scanning around the threads from the above sites that piqued my interest.
As to why, it is because I enjoy reading what other people have to say about their team, my team, sports in general, etc.
I'm hoping you get a ban hammer or at least a little time off because all you are doing is trolling in this thread. And from what you referenced as an example of hatfield going "ballistic" then I'm guessing you're a teenage girl. I've always been pretty fair to the rebel posters on here but my gosh, some of you need to take a timeout or even be gone for stirring the pot. And yeah it's fine to have a difference of opinion on MSU and I totally understand why since you are OM fans. It's gone from expressing opinions to full blown flaming and trolling.
