Many of you have probably noticed the recent spat (160+ posts!) in the [re-signing] Lupul thread over the last two days. TWO DAYS! While everyone loves a good argument, there are certain types of behaviour I think don’t belong on a respectable forum like this one.

Disagreeing with someone is fine, even expected here, but to call someone a/an “idiot”, “whiny little bitch”, “****ing imbecile”, “dickhead”, “dumbass” or “dumb mother****er” because they don’t get what you are saying is completely unnecessary. Spouting “grow the **** up” or “stuff it up your ass” is probably not the most effective way to get your point across. Even if the person is having a hard time understanding your point of view, it does not give you carte blanche to call them all sorts of names like some sort of inarticulate teenaged troll with Tourrete’s on steroids (likely where the rage comes from).

How hard is it to get your point across without resorting to name calling? Seriously, would you talk to your mother that way? Does calling someone those names make you feel better? It would be a shame for these fine forums to devolve into name calling flame fests. Don’t be a troll.

Personally, I find being called an idiot, etc, for my opinion only makes me not want to come here to post my thoughts. Why would I, knowing that some troll is waiting to tear my words apart and call me all sorts of names if they disagree? It’s just not worth the time or effort. I also find it disheartening to see other people treated like that. It comes across to me as a form of bullying. Oh you don’t agree with me? Well **** you, you’re wrong you retarded mother****er. Great counterpoint, did you learn that on your University debating team!?

Your post count or your educational background does not entitle you to belittle anyone. You have no idea with whom you are speaking, so why in the world would you call them all sorts of names and curse at them. Oh right, it’s anonymous and any two-bit jackass can act like they are King Shit without repercussions. Something must be lacking in your petty little lives if you must resort to this type of behaviour.

Grow up and treat people with respect and you might actually get some. It would be sad to see this type of conduct become more acceptable or prevalent. The Dobberhockey community will only lose good people because no one wants to be treated like that… well, maybe my ex, but that’s a story for another time.

Peace. Respect…and please think of the children.

Agreed. Its seems a number of people have been a little testy around here of late. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and expressing it civily is much more informative and convincing than having to try and decipher which swear word the ******'s represent. We should all be happy now that their is NHL hockey to watch .

Koombyah or however the **** you spell it.

Very well put Comish! I generally stay away from threads when they start heading south. As soon as people start calling names you can put money on information not being legit and worth reading anyway.


Got a strange look from a co-worker when I starting cracking up after reading this part Wendel!

While I didn't participate/read in the Lupul thread, I feel you on this one. This site is the best in fantasy hockey business and people have always been very polite to me (except one time when the Habs hired a non-french speaking coach and some troll from Toronto felt like being xenophobic to me). I think that the way we all seem to enjoy each other's presence makes Dobberhockey special and it needs to stay that way!

You're my hero.

It's a combination of brash arrogant people and people who are insecure and take the bait. I never understood why people care so much about what others on the internet think.

Reminds of that hilarious but politically incorrect meme.

Pretty sure 4T2 knows which one I'm talking about because I think he posted it here once haha.
