Message board, I hate you.

I hate message boards. 

Why do I read them, I ask?  The only people who take the time to respond are those with bad attitudes, and from the looks of things, bad grammar. 

I read all my newspaper readings online (the green way of doing things. Long live earth) and I am always intrigued by the comments on the articles.  What could possibly be so interesting about a new light going up to generate 48 comments?  Reels me in every time. 

If you know me, you know the happenings down here that resulted in my dear hubby's job to be in the paper.  I would read those ignorant comments in response to it and just want to log in and tell them all to be quiet and go find Jesus. But I decided that would mean I would have to be on their level, so I withheld from that temptation.  I should have learned my lesson about message boards then, but I tell you, old habits die hard. 

So now I am trying to find some legit sources for this "Petersen to MSU" rumor.  Naturally I turned to the most legit source of all: I googled it. 

Stupid message boards.  That's all I got.  And after one read, I was hooked.  My blood is boiling.

Do you know me?  If so, you might know that I am a bit proud of my state and my bulldogs.  Trey can confirm that I have been known to cry at more than one Mississippi State loss.  It is not that I am a sore loser, I just hate how little respect I get down here for being a fan.  And by down here, I mean I left Starkville for the first time in my life.  No one told me other places were not 100% bulldog.  To add to this,  I once told a man in Natchez that my life priorities were simple: Jesus, family, Mississippi State. But that is another story for another day. And one that Trey would rather not relive. 

The point is simple: I can not stand to have these ludicrous comments being made about my beloved state and school.  

Especially when the person commenting has a screen name like "Ilikemyfootballroughlikeilikemygirls"

I am done with that. 

Readers, please.  Let's join forces and refuse to read these electronic slam books.  

I feel better now that I have told someone about this.  

Thanks for listening.

You crack me up! I hate the message boards too, but the reel me in every time as well. I love that you called them electronic slam books! So true!

Omigosh...do I remember slam books!!! There was always someone who left the party crying. I stand with you in support of the Bulldogs...Go State!!! You know, they say that to kick one habit you have to replace it with another. I say, channel that energy to blogging more. I always get a good laugh (your writing is funny, not that I'm laughing at you) plus it'll give those folks reading the evil electronic message boards something more interesting to read!

I second the blogging more. I miss seeing you to get these stories live and in person. :)

Hope you and Trey are doing well this Christmas season!

My husband is obsessed with his message boards. He reads them for hours every day. It kills me.

Merry Christmas, late! I can't stand message boards, mostly because I can't figure out how to follow a thread.

Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas!
