Just another for dshans:

"the past issues BEFORE NSD and NSD, Greenberry... we're LONG straightened out... there WAS no administrators then, as Tee and D just let the group go totally rudderless... that was THEN... and OTHER sites were equally hideous... This site was CIVIL compared to others regarding Aaron Lynch... The past... was the past... STOP with that... site wasn't properly administered then..."

smh....

...my only understanding of Bang Bang is presented by IE members...so far I'd say they were spot on...

I think coming here and drawing a line between Bang Bang and all other "breeds", whom you painted in a derogatory manner ( the holier than though breed, and the Im (s)marter than you version ) says alot about your attitude...and kinda makes Boggie's point.

I'm a pretty simple guy...enjoy a beer, yelling obscenities at the TV every Saturday, hunting, driving my truck in places I shouldn't take it, building things...so could you tell me which "breed" I am? Am I "the holier than though breed, and the Im (s)marter than you version" ...is that some veiled way of whacking on all IE guys as elitests or something?

Maybe you should spend some time here just listening (reading)...

I did not come here to draw a line betweeen anything. I was just simply saying there are different kinds of fans. Other fans of different school and even ND see Notre Dame fans this way as either acting like they are smarter than everyone or holier than everyone. While I am sure there are some that are just simple ND fans that dont fall into either category, there are a lot of fans that do. In a sarcast way you are displaying the "Im smarter than you" fan by they way your are writing the word (s)marter. I am not whacking on IE guys, I was talking about fans in general. If I made any comments about anything it was directed at one person.

Now you done gone and pissed ME off! Royally!

When a message is clear, or even decipherable with effort, apparent typos and occasional misspellings can be dealt with. When the message is so tortured and distorted by grammatical errors as to be ambiguous or nonsensical, this "elitist" gives up.

I am not holier than thou. Quite frankly, I am not holier than most. Perhaps I'm smarter than you, perhaps not. I am right many times, but I am also wrong many times. I hold my opinions dear but they do change on occasion. I am simply a Notre Dame graduate who likes to think he represents the school well. My hope is that others drawing a connection between themselves and the school do the same. Airing vitriol, poorly constructed and unsubstantiated slop in a public forum open to potential enrollees (in this case primarily football players) does Notre Dame and its many supporters and fans a disservice.

I do not "hide" behind a screen name. It's part of the structure of the site. I'm pretty sure that over time I've made my name known. A certain filter (which seems to have been relaxed in light of Mr. Clark's passing) rendered my first name as four asterisks. Just to be clear: My name is Dick Shanahan and I am a proud fan of Irish football.*

Seems to me you have other issues if a mispelled sentence royally pisses you off. I never once directed any comments to you so you unwind your jock strap buddy.

Plus I put it in italics..... I thought you can say anything sarcastic if its in italics?

Also my comments about the fan base being know-it-alls or holier than though was brought up when I spoke with a certain recruits father before he commited. I worked with this recruits father for over a year and he asked me about about the fan base so its not some baseless argument I just conjured up in my head to make a point. Take offense if the glove fits, if it doesn't fit then it is what it is.

Hey, I was gone for a couple of hour’s guys. Did I miss anything?

It is about basic communication A-la-carte. You cannot communicate via text or email or message board, like you can face-to-face or even across the telephone lines. 80% of communication is nonverbal. Vocal intonation, body language, adds to the communication's clarity by reinforcing the core verbal message. So that is why when you want to reduce communication to a written stream you must be more precise. Otherwise you confuse, or insult other people.

As far as you trying to call me elitist, or whatever, you don't know me well enough. I am not that special except I am extremely tired of @ssholes ruining my avocation; first they waste valuable time on my message board, now they are pissing off recruits and wasting a bunch of my friends’ time and energy. Some of these people on this site, I would bleed for, and I would let them bleed for me.

As far as calling me names, I thought I was pretty measured in my approach and even kind by my standards. Your wanting to call me things seems to fit more my original hypothesis. The bang-bang site is full of a bunch of wannabes that take every shortcut to give them the ego gratification that they desire. They spout something off without a clue about what they say, its veracity, or the consequences of their actions. Further, they live in the fantasy of the Internet, where every jackoff is a superstar.

Back to calling me names, I think I understand what you were attempting, but I am not sure you were. You were fine until you started calling me names. That is a dead giveaway that we are talking about issues other than my website behavior, for instance, maybe small man’s disease. My advice would be to look up two psychological terms; transference and projection. If you have any further questions or see any reason to continue this discussion, I will be at the Blue & Gold game this weekend, simply let me know where and when you would like to meet.

I thought you were saying I were he, or I was him...whatever, you know what I mean. Sir DShans has me all paranoid now.

... or we are all together. I am the egg man. You are the walrus ... Goo goo ga joob.

Where did I call you a name. I have not once said anything close to calling anyone a name. I was making a general statement about what others think of ND fans.

I am very familiar with those terms as I am a family consultant/social worker. And again it seems you are missing the point and would rather demean than have a discussion.

I have tried to be nice but it seems as if I am being misunderstood, or taken out of context and it feels like you guys are attacking me. The general statement I made that their are different breeds of fans doesnt come from my brain alone, it comes from others who i have spoken with. Right before Malik Zaire commited to ND I had a conversation with his father who I worked with for over a year and he asked about these exact fan issues. He told me he gets the perception that ND fans are either hoilier than everyone or they think they are smarter than everyone or at least give that perception about the school. People dont like that sort of thing. ND is probably "smarter" then most D1 schools but he was saying that he felt the fans pushed it on everyone and that it gave him a sour taste of ND before his son visited for Junior day.

I guess I am confused where all this frustration is coming from and why its being directed at me?

Do I need to join the group to post on their board? And on a side note, besides the issues that have come about lately and the stupidity of their actions, why in the hell would you want to take over (maintain or whatever you call it) a group that was started by recruits that didn't show or left the program. If you wanna start a group, start a new one. Don't ride the coat tails of people who are no longer a part of the University or never were. That would be like us taking an opponents fight song or catch phrase and making it ours because we like it. It's just stupid. I went to the MSU game last year and observed their cheer team warming up by the reflection pond. They took it upon themselves to all pose doing the touchdown Jesus. That's just ****in stupid. We are ND, you are MSU. We have touchdown Jesus, you burn couches and cars. Idiots

Random rant over........Carry on..........

You are either:

a) Not aware of NASW Code of Ethics
b) Furthering the point Bogg's point that you should be precise in written communication. This could easily be read that Malik's father was a client of yours.

Ala-carte,

There you go, bringing someone else into it. Why? This is shiit cray! I believe GB will back me up on this one. Speaking of which, you don’t see him dropping names like a Kansas City whore. Wait a minute, I want to leave the nightwalkers out of this, don’t dislike them enough to demean their reputations that badly.

Now is where someone can say, "blah, blah, blah"; that original point was meant to be a joke, you know engendering endearment.

I'm not following l-cart's point when he talks about different "breeds" of ND fans and his supposed account with Malik's father. Is he saying that there is a perceived haughtiness of Irish fans, and that Bang Bang is the answer to that problem? Because I would submit that the idiocy that takes place in that facebook group is 1000X more harmful to ND's reputation, among recruits and in general, than all the other problems of all the other "breeds" of fans, combined. They have had a demonstrably deleterious impact on recruiting and, possibly, within the locker room.

So the audacity of someone that is on IE as a representative of that embarrassment of a group to base whatever argument he is trying to make on the idea that Bang Bang's essential function is to provide a counterweight to the perceived arrogance of the rest of the fan base is off the charts. Thanks but no thank, friend. I can say with absolute certainty that the school, the football program and the reputation of ND fans are all better off without you.

And beside the Don will be very sorry to hear that news, he will want to know right away, and he offers his friendship only once.

Wow...really? I can say with absolute certainty that you need to read a little further. I have always said the group needs to be taken down and I have never eluded to the group solving any of the worlds problems especially the "haughtiness of irish fans." I ma not here to represetn the group, if you were to get on the groups page you would see that I posted that the group should indeed go away or at the very least go private.

I am however suprised so many people have taken offense to things not directed at them and how everything I have said has been taken out of context or how what I have posted has been taken and used an English class lesson.

Now please direct me to where I was calling you names since you wrote a three paragraph essay on me calling you names........ instead of proving I indeed called you names you want to try and make another argument. I think you are just one of those types that just wants to find any little thing and argue about it so I am not wasting my time with you.

If it was directed at someone specific perhaps a PM would've sufficed.
