Here's a hint. When someone says something along the lines of, "Kansas City is full of meth addicts and inbreds," you DON'T counter that with data from the last US Census, or whatever it is you've been doing. You just ignore it. Or, better yet, you go along with it: "Man, my mamma/Aunt and Daddy/cousin would kick your ass for saying something like that - especially if they heard it while they was tweaking." There is no counter to something like that - everyone just laughs. Instead, you go in and say, "Au contraire, good sir. According to recent statistics put out by a joint task force formed by the the DEA, US Census Bureau, and Hugs not Drugs Commission, use of illegal methamphetamines, per capita, is more predominant in certain Colorado counties than....":-)
That just perpetuates it. Just ignore it. Or don't, and keep providing entertainment for those of us who are lurking. It's up to you. But I'm giving you sound advice here.
The other day, when a poster (I won't mention his name) responds, "IDK her butthole looks like the eisenhower tunnel now and her new hobby is axe throwing" - I mean, I don't even know what that means. But it was funny! You play right into it.
That's an interesting interpretation of that thread. What's there to keep up with? It's the equivalent of dick and fart jokes. Heck, those would be funnier and more clever than regurgitating the same canned meth and cousin cracks that weren't witty the first time, let alone the 500th.
When I post something like "Actually, Denver smokes more meth than KC and you marry your cousins," it's because it actually gets under their skin. Which is hilarious to me.
It's the Bronco fans who continually take my bait. They can't help themselves. They badly want something to hold over KC and its fans.
I've always said that I welcome any/all shit talk if it's actually funny. The only problem is....it just isn't. I'd be surprised if you could find more than 1-2 examples of objectively funny KC jokes in that thread. There are some people there who know football, but comedy ain't their forte.
You should heed your own advice, btw. The guy who's been issuing threats to KC fans over harmless jokes probably shouldn't be lecturing people about letting comments roll off. Nor should anyone else from that board.
Ironically, one of the only posters who gets genuinely mad on here is you. Seems like most everybody else is having fun. Imagine if KC had been the comedy of errors that Denver's been since 2015. I think you know you'd have a
lot of fun with it. Hell, at times I've gone out of my way to avoid certain topics because I know it has to be miserable for the diehard fan. But that organization keeps stepping on its own dick to such an extent that it's impossible not to laugh.
You'd think a supposedly laid-back fan like yourself would acknowledge that and have some self-deprecating fun with it instead of getting bent out of shape and trying to police the commentary.

Says a thread called The Chiefs Suck is just good guys he knows having a little fun, while a thread called Broncos news megathread is a bunch of mean-spirited jerks being bad people.Writing walls of texts on an opposing football team’s message board while deep in mourning. Interesting contradictions….
