Dude, I DESTROY my few local Chiefs fan friends when I talk Chiefs with them. However, when I lurked for maybe 6 months prior to joining, then eventually joined the planet (although I was adamant while thinking to myself that I wouldn't join this cesspool...****, it's addicting), I learned quickly as to how stupid I really was when it came to the Chiefs...and further yet, just how utterly ****ing reeruned everybody I talk Chiefs football with in Iowa is. I mean...they are really ****ing stupid. Out of my first 20-30 or so posts, I think I was told to burn in the infamous AIDS tree and/or drink antifreeze to put myself out of my own stupidity-induced misery...like 15 times...on neg reps. And I was friendly in my posts that I was neg-repped in.
It was brutal.
And I've learned so much from all you fellers who post your football takes... I don't post my football takes too frequently because I am not 100% confident in my knowledge of it quite yet...it may be another 5 years before I start posting my football thoughts on a consistent basis. I refuse to post them unless I am confident in them.
This board really, for the most part, has an array of intelligent football minds. An array of generally intelligent people for that matter. And a lot of idiots...but even the idiots somehow have a way of guising there stupidity. It takes a while to be able to pinpoint some of these folks.
Hell...I quit writing in my blog (that I had maintained for 5 year prior to joining) for a year immediately after joining CP, for I was so impressed with the quality of writing on here...it made me feel a bit self-conscious about my own writing. Therefore, I sat back, observed and attempted to learn from you guys as writers as well, before I began posting new entries in my blog. So many of you write so eloquently...and have such unique online voices or personas, regardless of how awesome and/or idiotic you tend to be.
Yeah, joining CP was an eye-opener for me...really. Kind of a mind-**** for a while there.
