Dead wrong about what?
I'm not a therapist, so I can't directly help you, but indirectly... you should see a therapist. 'I used to think it was just some Michigan fans who are bad, but now I know it's ALL of them.' The fact that people can say that kinda thing (about any group) and not realize how ignorant it is.... well, yikes. Blanket statements and stereotypes are the product of irrational hatred and lazy thinking. You're better than that.
As a Michigan alum, one is easily exposed to more anti-Michigan BS and whining than Michigan haters are exposed to their imaginary affronts. Usually just boils down to jealousy and envy, and then an exaggeration of half-truths inflated with hyperbole. Over and over and over. I've seen it for 25 years. It's a psychosis for some.
So, no, I don't believe your story word-for-word, especially since it went from getting cursed out to now... getting stitches? Huh? Did you press charges? And yes, having had absolutely no interaction with the guy up to that moment, I had a stranger put a cigarette out on my arm when I was 5. It didn't make me hate any college or sports team, just individual human beings who are willing to put a cigarette out on a 5 year old's arm. Maybe I'm doing it wrong though.
As for insults, step back and look at all the hatred you've posted about the Michigan fanbase in this thread, filled with insults that you've applied as a generalization of the entire UM community, as if that's ok in this thread because it's not explicitly aimed at an individual.... and then ask with a straight face to not get flak back. Pretty ridiculous.
Sweet so now I am liar. Maybe it isn’t a story I necessarily like going in depth on. Probably because you like a complete ass faked actual physical injury. I wound up with five stitches above the eye because I was hit with a bottle thrown while saying **** MSU and I was wearing the shirt. No you leave that scene when it feels like the mob is descending. I can forgive you the ignorance having not been there or maybe it’s just the learned ignorance you seem to be acing the course across all of Ann Arbor in lately, so way to channel your inner Wolverine.
Yes, there was a grouping in on this issue. The only people attempting to defend it were saying things even though the known details clearly pointed to serious violations. The only response from the alumni to students right on up to the top of the University at the Presidential level was this false bravado. Lo and behold U of M didn’t exit the conference, U of M did put its tail between its legs and accept punishment. They didn’t fight it in the legal system where they had a very dubious challenge ahead. They are going to get hammered by NCAA whenever that decision comes.
I wanted to have the conversation it’s why I didn’t ask the others Mods to look to take it down and responded the way I did, because you did personally offend me while trolling. We have posted here a long time, I don’t have to agree with all takes. My opinion of U of M has been crystal clear the whole way and yes on this board it puts me in the minority. I have been far more vocal on this because it’s madness to accept that boosters, failure of institutional control, failure to cooperate which was on the table until last Friday all carry Level 1 violations. I don’t have to say nice things about them and I won’t. I don’t have to listen to delusional escape plans when the actual rules are available right online. I can be gleeful they will soon be punished harshly for another time for egregious NCAA violations.
That doesn’t come from jealousy or lack of therapy. I don’t come to this board for validation or to lie. Maybe some do, I really stayed in touch with it because I moved to a place where nobody watches hockey. Honestly this board has been a little hard to come to on that front lately anyway.
Dead wrong about what…
Sorry your glass house got hit.
People post hateful things about fanbases all the time on this board. Do we take down every Boston post, Chicago post or Toronto post. You can feel that but yes I am criticizing the fanbase. Yes, I really also haven’t experienced great times in Ann Arbor. You’re openly criticizing just me and alleging lying. Cool, so like none of the things you were saying were going to happen have happened yet… Thanks for the life advice doing just fine, sorry your joke sucked this time, I have liked plenty in the past, it isn’t going to happen on this subject.
