Actually, he does have that right.Actually no...you don't have that "right."
Trolling a state/team specific board is in fact against the rules.Actually, he does have that right.
Listen, I can see both sides of this. When the Wild beat a team, we're often warned to avoid commenting in their forum since nothing good can come of it. And while this isn't a Vikings' forum, it's a Minnesota board, so naturally the majority are Vikings' fans. In that regard, of course having a Packers' fan on here celebrating plays that go against the Vikings feels like a troll trying to stir trouble. And let's face it, we're all beyond frustrated, angry, sad, and have short fuses. Because while other teams (including the Packers) have won a SB Championship, our team can't even get to @#$!ing participate in one. So having comments supporting the Eagles is no doubt going to get a VERY bad reaction. I was annoyed by it, but ignored it for two reasons. First, Digitalbooya is a respected Wild fan who is a part of this board. He's not a troll. He just happens to support a different football team. Hell, he didn't disappear when being ribbed a bit about his club's struggles this year. Second, while as frustrating as his comments may have been, for the most part, they weren't disrespectful. He wasn't loudly, constantly rubbing it in our faces. Half the time he was just commenting on the plays. It'd be wrong to warn or ban a regular here when they are not breaking the rules and are being respectful simply because they support a different team.
It was risky as hell to stir the beehive tonight, but I really don't think he did anything wrong. I'm sure many will disagree with that, but I'm too angry to care right now.
It's like watching the movie "Groundhog Day."Well that was definitely sad for sure. I can believe that they did this to us again but ughh.. It still hurts. I hope you all are doing okay. I guess we wait for next year again.
My parents are from the north side of Chicago. They were Cubs fans for 75 years before they got to watch them win the World Series.It's just sad, man. I know many others here have been suffering through this for longer, but I'm 26, and not once in my lifetime have I gotten to even witness a championship game/round in any of the four sports (if you don't count the Twins when I was three months old). It's just so disappointing every time. It's days like today that make me question why I'm a big sports fan.
Go Wild...
Well then you can argue that there has been trolling in the NCAA hockey thread. And other Wild fans (while being respectful) have broken rules by commenting on other teams' boards after a win. Hell, there were some borderline rules broken in this very thread by several people today. Wishing harm on a player or "the bomb" comment. Obviously the bomb comment was a joke, but...................Trolling a state/team specific board is in fact against the rules.

It absolutely 100% was a Packer fan trolling a Viking thread. The NCAA thread is definitely a tricky one. This is a Minnesota GDT, not hard at all to distinguish who the home team is in this one. I completely agree about some of the comments, but that just speaks to the need to actually eliminate the trolling in the first place.Well then you can argue that there has been trolling in the NCAA hockey thread.

Trolling is against the rules. I get that. But this wasn't really trolling.
I agree....it wasn't hard to know that it was a Minnesota GDT. But let's say I was, God forbid, a Packers' fan, but I was also a big Wild fan who was part of the family here. I'd rather discuss the game with the crew here than over on the main board with hundreds of strangers. So if I behaved myself, am I still not allowed to post at all? He said things were going horribly for the Vikings. Well, we all said that. Most of his comments were to the same tune as everyone else with a few exceptions approving a touchdown or an interception. But it wasn't offensive. Yes, he was a Packers' fan, but most of what he said was the same thing we were commenting on. He wasn't saying crap like, "Ha! You guys are screwed! Chokers! I am loving this game!"It absolutely 100% was a Packer fan trolling a Viking thread. The NCAA thread is definitely a tricky one.

cheering against the home team is not behaving yourself. And again, is against the rules. Why is this hard to understand?I agree....it wasn't hard to know that it was a Minnesota GDT.

I fully understand what trolling is and that it's against the rules. I just think this situation isn't totally black or white....it's grey area.cheering against the home team is not behaving yourself. And again, is against the rules. Why is this hard to understand?
I prefer the team that is using their backup quarterback.
Dammit Jacksonville. Now I HAVE to root for philly all things considered.
That national anthem was amazing!
Pick 6!!!!
Nice!! Touchdown!
Uhhh what?
They play rough in Philly.
Turnover! Wow!!! Things are going horribly for Minnesota.
Well that was unnecessary.
Alshon Jeffery wide open.
Here are all my posts leading up to the moment where people got upset. I apologize if any of these posts upset people as I thought it was okay to have a preference on which team I want to win as long as I didn't target anyone. I don't view them as trolling and there would have been positive comments for Minnesota but two things happened: I missed the opening drive when I went to get my pizza (I saw the national anthem and the kickoff) and Minnesota did almost nothing positive after that drive.Minnesota has got to score before halftime. They risk completely falling away if they don’t.
