I used to post on Genespage some, and while I have not been banned, I have had several posts deleted. Notably one questioning the athletic training staff- nevermind that therapy is what I do for a living- and also one where people were talking about Jerrell Powe, and Gene came back with his recruits read these boards drivel. I then posted, if Powe can't read, how will he know what we are saying?
BUT what did it was after we lost the Mayor's Trophy where we lost 1-0 to Ole Miss and all Matt <17> Richardson had to do was lean into a pitch, and we tie the game with Rea up to bat. We also pissed away MANY opportunities to score and in all honesty should have won that game. Some Ole Miss fan posted Good Game guys! on GP, and I reamed his ***. Bear in mind I had just come home from a bar after watching us play "That's Baseball" losing for the FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW during the Polk II era at Smith-Wrigley. I was slightly agitated. Then vhdawg and megadawgmaniac posted something like "It's time to come home". I just made that last part up. I can't remember what they typed. I was pissed off. But you get the point.
I had some practice posting on a Sunday School MB- don't laugh, it had a sports forum. But then came over here, and luckily seemed to fit in OK. I made some rookie mistakes like- We need MSU caliber players- promptly responded to with "That's exactly the problem- we have MSU caliber players". I wasn't really nervous, as much as I was relieved that I could post something, and while not everyone may agree with what I type, at least I can speak my mind and not worry about censorship.
It has been kind of funny- sometimes I get introduced as Todd4State, which makes me feel like some kind of internet celebrity, kind of like a porn star. My Mom is proud.
