Saint Louis Sucks

[CodeMonkey]

Lately, a number of posters here find it necessary to bash my home town in just about any thread on any topic. I have become very irritated by it and I’m certain I speak for a good number of posters on this board. I’m sick of having to read that garbage. If you can’t respect my town, please respect your fellow ROD members from the St. Louis area and keep that crap contained within this thread.

Frankly I’m surprised that some of you don’t see (or care?) that your comments are both hurtful and useless and not at all good for community…this community. This is the sort of behavior I would expect at a certain other board that I will not name but not here on ROD.
In response, I’ve made a thread just for the haters to troll away to their heart’s content since they feel it so necessary to do so.

Please keep all snide comments and sniping of my city contained within this thread so as to avoid polluting this entire board with useless and irritating drivel.

I will not be visiting this thread so don’t bother replying to me here… I will not read it and I won’t respond.

So, go ahead and get a nut off in here with that trash but please keep that crap out of the rest of this board.

Code...this isn't the right way to go about it. I've seen St. Louisans bash LA as well, and we don't need that here. But this kind of thread isn't the way to go about it.

I agree with Mem. Code is spot on in principle, but we are all adults here and we should all be able to converse and discuss our team without geographic based insults. This kind of shit isn't needed or wanted here and we shouldn't have to have a thread to keep it all in. How about we all just realise where we are, support our team, and cut the shit.

I moved to Oregon recently. It's full of fat people, slot machines in bars,strip clubs,sex shops, beer joints everywhere. It's basically real life Idiocracy. There,does that make you feel better? Oh...and it's raining right now too...again

true, but it does need to leave these threads, however, i have personal experience about code's pride in his city, as he gave me an interesting late night tour around downtown, loaded with stories about st louis' history. i think he was surprised at my reactions to all the player statues outside busch stadium, i've watched a lot of them play baseball on tv in my lifetime, but overall, very engaging discussion about the city that he obviously has a lot of pride for. however, he still cant explain that pink suit thing to me. (nor could the security guard for that matter).

Let's be honest, if the Rams were in LA and the owner wasn't negotiating or even talking to LA but had a stadium plan that would be privately funded in London, I wouldn't fault the LA fans for saying screw you and staying home. Add on the fact the team has sucked for most of the 20 years.

We have to realize not all fans are wired like us diehards. We go all in every year thinking it's our year. Casual fans are reactionary. They wait for winning or good PR. The St Louis football fan base is a very good one.

There are documented fans here from all over the world. We can all get along, but any city, team, coach, or country bashing should be out of bounds.

I have pride in my city as well, since I'm a native St. Louisan. But we're all Rams fans here. Code's principles are correct, but having a thread for bashing is going to spill over anyway. It'll alienate posters, good posters.

Not the best way about it, I understand the feeling. I hate seeing that crap too, and I wished the mods would make another relocation thread to be a lightning rod.

But this is just throwing fuel on the fire and asking to instigate more.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Let's just enjoy the win as Rams fans.

Thread locked.

Nope.

Keep all snide comments and sniping off the board in general.
It'll be a few minutes before one of the mods shuts this down.

EDIT: Danny quick on the draw. lol.
Good job.
