Getting lectured by some newcomer about how childish I am for referring to aggy in the lower case reminds me of something my dad used to say to me when I was a kid. A former master sergeant back in WWII, most of the time when I spoke up, I was told that when he wanted to know what my opinion was on anything, he'd TELL me what my opinion was.
When I want a newbie's opinion on how I insult the agriculturally-inclined, I'll tell him or her.
aggy is the embarassment, to the state. With the group think over at that place, you can't use any kind of logic. Try posting logic on one of their boards and you'll be banned faster than you can shake a stick. That's not true with Hornfans, or any UT boards that I know of. Quite the contrary, opposite views are encouraged, as long as reasonable posting policies are followed.
Others have said this, and it's true. aggy jokes write themselves. I do sometimes think we give the cult more legitimacy than they deserve, just by recognizing their absurdity. You can't pick on 'em while they're down, because they're virtually never up. Insulting aggy is like causing a used car salesman to take offense...you can't get there from here.
This final thought...if what's said on this board offends one's sensibilities, perhaps that one should spend a lot less time on this board. In the meantime, spend less time chastising, and more time learning how things work around here. Just don't expect any courtesy changes from any longtime posters because you don't think it's seemly. Now...that's how I feel!!!
