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. [Reply]
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 assholes.

Don't forget the fact that it's very rare opposing fans get the ban hammer here, while on the mange, or whatever they're calling it these days, you get banned for simply having an opposing view. That's why this board keeps going strong, and theirs is barely hanging on [Reply]

Exactly! Over there, you get locked out of threads, for simply stating the obvious and poking a little bit of fun.
Check this gem out: :-)

So what you are saying is he would NOT allow someone to start The Official Broncos Suck Thread over on the mange. Wonder if an official The Broncos have Sucked for the past decade thread would be acceptable. It would be both factual and entertaining. [Reply]

Mock was a heavy drinker, and he tended to lose whatever filter he had when he had too much. There were some classic stories that went along with that - the kind of stories every good board has in its history.
Mock just suddenly stopped posting about ten years ago - weird, because he had over 100K posts, up until then. Obviously, that's usually not such a good sign. Several months later, we learned that he was one of a small handful of people around the southern United States who died after eating some peanut butter that had left the factory contaminated. It was a strange finish for a strange (but decent) guy. We sadly never learned what became of Beezer.
RIP watermock (and a host of other good people from both the Mane and ChiefsPlanet who are no longer with us - most who just fall off the radar without anyone knowing where they've gone).
I remember watermock as well. Posted constantly. Never heard about the Peanut Butter thing. Looks like they made over 700 people sick, and mock would have been 1 of 9 who actually died. The company's CEO is serving 28 years in prison for it.

Found this while I was going down memory lane about watermock. You have a good memory. This is from 18 years ago.
