Being insulted...

K.Snyder · Post by **K.Snyder** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 5:07 pm

By my own team Forum!

I have been loyal to the Cincinnati Bengals for years, through 2-14 seasons, and I then go to the team forums on Bengals.com to see that under my membership name at the forums they have comments like the ones here, only the comments they post there I find completely disrespectful, insulting, and ignorant. They have placed the comment "Scrub" under my membership name because I only have 330 posts over the course of 2 seasons, as if I am an unimportant fan to the team, and that of the forum. I am infuriated that they could be so disrespectful to other fan members, and I am asking for a huge favor. I honestly would be grateful if some people who read this could send a quick email to the site voicing how insulting this is for fan members, whom spends money to see the Cincinnati Bengals only to be called a "Scrub". BS. I understand if you don't want to mess with it. I just find it ignorant for people to be that rude, when I devote my time to that organization.

Here's the email to the Bengals web site.

mailto: webmaster@bengals.nfl.net

I spend my money to see them play, to be called a scrub?

I don't think so.

These moderators haven't seen the last of me, if I have to send email after email. I won't stand for it.

For instance at my bike forum 300 posts or under and you have 'Spannerboy' under your name. I'm now 'race team owner' purely because I yak too much!

If that's not the case, I'll gladly mail them and give 'em a verbal arse-kicking.

Yeah its based on how many posts...But I find that ignorant and Bu** Sh

I dedicate my time to this organization, and at the home forum be called a Scrub...BS...

What, am I over-reacting? Nah...I'm not going to be called a scrub from anybody...If I was, they would get their teeth knocked down their throat.

How would you like to dedicate your time to this forum, only to be called a scrub?

I'm mailing them alright?

:wah:

I guess that's asking alot,..but I would just like to see a change...

I talk amongst Bengal Fans and don't want to leave my home forum just because of some ignorant moderators.

Thank you...

Maybe if they get enough...they can learn a little respect.

BTW -- I owe all who does a favor...

BTW --

In case you're wondering, at the beginning it was just "newbie" and I was fine with that, but because I only show up on game days, and not through the week and post, it says "Scrub" and I find it utterly disrespectful.

They aren't going to call me a scrub and expect me to continue posting there.

If someone called me a scrub, I'd just tell them to get it right...at least add 'ber' on the end:wah:

I'm just used to laughing at myself:D

I'm not going to have some Schmuck call me a scrub, I'm sorry.

Obviously my sense of humour is failing me.

Good for you to stand up for something that irritates the crap out of you.

It's probably because I am a little pi$$ed off right now...

It's impossible to cheer me up when I'm pi$$ed off.

I'm stubborn,..(if you haven't noticed already)...so it will take some time for me to cool down...

I won't post in something that represents biased, ignorant, idiotic, distaste, so it's either going to change, or that website is going to lose a member.

Oh yes...

I usually don't follow NFC teams as much because they have no bearing on the Bengals...

Oh I get it now...

You were a Bears fan all along in the Bears thread, and were just being skeptical, while the thought that the Bears of actually being good, was on your mind so you dealt with it by being critical, so as not be be overwhelmingly upset if they didn't meet to the expectations of what was a very solid football team in '05 at the end of the year...that correct?

Some of us judge a team by its backfield...others of us by its backside:sneaky:

:wah:

Wow,..ok...

You have confused me once again...

So you don't root for a team?
