Hostility Abounds

by wildwill on Sep 17, 2008 12:02 PM PDT

After reading a scant few comments to my first fanpost here by the MANAGER of this blog, I’ve decided that Halos Heaven is not a fun place to be, and the hostility I feel is nowhere NEAR deserved.

So screw you people I’m out. I guess you all think you’re better Halos fans than the rest of us, more power to you.

Fans like you give the Angels a bad name. No wonder the Halos are the 2nd most hated team in the Majors, uppity fans will do that.

Way to compete…..Having Rev in your sh

Thick skin to win here my friend.

I am not trying to put words in Rev’s mouth here but I think it was the tack in which you made your (first) post that got you put on blast.

Maybe you could have said you are a Huge Hallo fan making you a HH but a first time poster on Halo Heaven that also has a blog covering the Angels then listed it in your profile or signatue line.

Whatever

Maybe he could have been a bit nicer in his response to me as well. I would have gladly edited my post if it were that offensive to him. In any case, the OWNER of a blog site should treat his readers better if he wants to keep them.

Welcome to the interweb

First of all, I’m guessing that you’re the latest in what has been an absurd influx of late (or just today) of people trying to get more traffic to their personal blog via HH. Or maybe you actually had something to bring to the table. I guess we’ll never know.

Secondly, people interact on the web as if they were in their cars – in a fashion they would never do face to face with someone. The internet is a giant partyline of anonymous hostility. Most of the time it’s too much for me, and I bug out. In other words, don’t expect to find commonplace reciprocity among strangers on the web.

It’s not like a regular form of self-promotion or advertising. You shout into the crowd, just as you would in any other media facet, but this time the crowd yells back.

Wrong assumptions

No, I’ve actually been a reader of HH since before the move to SB Nation. I had the updates on my google reader as well. I’m not trying to pimp my own blog any more than anyone else does, because it’s NOT Halos-centric all of the time, most of the time it’s about cheap baseball cards. But that’s besides the point.

I’ve been on the net since before there WAS a net, back in the day with the USENET, I’m well aware of anonymous hostility. I guess I expected better from Angels fans. I was sadly mistaken.

I guess I shouldn’t have had higher expectations, after all this is a guy who chooses a "blame of the game" for every loss.

I don’t see another fanpost from you. Was it under another name?

Or was it removed?

HE erased it

I can take it and therefore I dish it out, but this guy… what do they teach you at UCLA? How to cry until you get what you want?

Kind of kid

that took his ball home when he was upset at the way the game was played, or because the ball was never thrown his way

Actually, yes.

I’m working at UCLA and my girlfriend TA’s for the snot-nosed bitches. They’re the whinest sacks of pussy I’ve EVER seen. They whined about taking a summer course; these students weren’t freshmen, they were juniors and seniors! They complained that an 85% A-rate for the class was too low.

Anyway, on you, Rev. You’re able to dish it out because you’re in a position of power. You seem to be as stubborn as a government mule, but I dare say without your sheriff’s hat, you might not take it so well. Though, this is said tongue-in-cheek, as I dish it at full force and take it — usually to the brink of banning. But you do come off as a harsh bastard to those new to the community on occasion.

i didnt see rev as a “harsh bastard” when i first joined a year ago

i saw rev as a guy who knows his angels inside and out. i will admit that i was intimidated to post when i first joined but now i realize i’m up there with the halos knowledge. i guess at times its too much to ask for an educated posting! as for the F-UCLAer he is a bum and shouldnt belong to communities or life if he cannot take the good with the bad or visa-versa.

so rev, keep up the good work! its much appreciated!

There is an “Angel in the outfield” and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!

Wow.

This is the kind of guy who commits suicide when he is constipated.

Mister Thin-Skin had to put his list on top of everyone else’s – and it was such an intelligent list – keeping Arredondo out of the postseason was a GENIUS move.

Your site is about cheap baseball cards? Never trust a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Wow

If that’s the way you treat your guests, I wonder how you treat your friends.

Goodbye Halos Heaven for good, I guess some Angels Fans really truly believe that they’re better than others.

I can’t comment on the original post. I didn’t see it befor it was removed.

3 things held anyone wanting to write a post;
1) Sense of humor
2) Thick skin
3) Humility

Everyone’s ideas get challenged/ laughed at, especially when you make errors or write nonsense. This is the real world. Get used to it!

Why would anyone have an Angels blog when nobody will read it and everyone will read what you post here? So waht if Rev is a touh sheriff, people wwill read you.

Halofanatic made one of the all time crazy post Things the ninja must do before the playoffs

He was blasted for weeks about that post, but to his credit he left it up on the site and took his lumps. I respect that.

This guy “wildwill” ran home yelling about how its a tough world. Glad he was never on any team I played for.

Rev can be tough as I pointed out to him. I have had a fair share of banter with Rev, but this is a place to voice opinions and with so many members not everyone is going to see eye to eye.

This is a Angel family and its dysfunctional like a lot of families from time to time, but the thing that keeps us coming back is the love that all HH members have for the Angels.

Pretty low when you advocate suicide to your users:

This is the kind of guy who commits suicide when he is constipated.

Who the fuck do you think you are? You think you know everything about everything? WRONG.

People who take the internets far more seriously than I do. Being hated on the net is not something that you really want to have happen to yourself. Internet Bullies are a dime a dozen, being one isn’t something someone should aspire to.

Your feelings are hurt and your tail is between your legs. Move on, or get a new user name and try and learn from your mistakes. This is post should have died along time ago. Scottnak’s got a pic of cat that resembles him and people are talking about bondage again.

Pack your shit and go. Please.

I go teach a couple of classes and BAM! all hell breaks out!

apparently trolls are getting whinier and more woman-like by the day….

poor kid.. n0budy on teh internetz wntz 2 b his BFF

Redirect is coming up.

Nothing better than spending my boring afternoon stirring up some unintentional shit. God, if I had realized how much attention I was going to be getting this afternoon, I’d have sold tickets.

Quit while you’re behind.

Fighting on the internet is like the special olympics.

Angels fans take a lot of shit. Agree? Disagree? Not see any difference between the shit we take for our condescended expansion team and the traditional rivalry other teams take? Does this general national notion about our boys foster a certain punchiness?

Or does the above not correllate to anything? Are we just like eveyrone else on the web, and simply the popularity of this blog has attracted more people, and therefore more interweb behavior that has nothing to do with our team identity?

Let’s face it: across SBNation, they f***ing hate us.

Now, Will, to you specifically:

Tell me about yourself. I do not feel any particular hostility towards you – to be honest, I like you a lot right now. But when you yourself post something like “fighting on the internet” and thereby condemn yourself I worry… Are you a high-functioning individual? I know you say you’re a college graduate, but…. are you a communications major or something? Because I’m going to start feeling guilty if I keep developing this feeling that I’m being contentious or provoking someone who is not as high fuctioning than we’re treating you…

…this one is starting to lag on me.

What’s new?

There comes a point in every afternoon interfit that you just have to remember John McGraw…

“We’d spit tobacco juice on a spike wound, rub dirt on it, and keep playing.”

this is just great, by the way, just great…

so we can make fun of everything he says about the team during an actual game?

Got the itch now that our tickets have been purchased as of 10:04 AM today.

There’s more than one internet?? Where are these “nets”, and how do I get there?

is there a Cliff Notes version available yet?
