Could be. I wouldn't put it past that guy.
No it isn't. That's a shame that you think so ill of me, or that I wasn't able to make enough of an impression that would at least spare me accusations of being a common internet troll. As if to say, I say all these awful things to you guys, which I certainly would never take back, but I'm definitely not a troll. And whatever sort of respect that comes with that, I would be accorded. But no such luck....
In any case, I'm only piping in now because I'm thinking that dude, this brash newcomer, who like myself is expressing ostensible disgust at this transparent act of fan-pandering by way of the the re-instituting of the going to mass on game-day thing - right before kickoff - could be my hated nemesis, who went by the message board pseudonym of 'IrishBeer', I believe it was, and before that was something else. I have no idea for certain of course, it just occurred to me, on account of being so nakedly provocative. I think the thing that perhaps gives trolls away, is how they show up out of nowhere, and then speak with too much glib familiarity right off the bat, when they've only just arrived.
And that guy was such an obvious troll, that he really got under my skin. So that's the guy you shouldn't put it past, actual known trolls, instead of guys like me, who are merely distraught at what the ND football community has become, and devolved into. As in I always knew ND fans and the ND football culture was what it was, naturally, but I wasn't ready to accept that it would ever get this bad. And in such especially galling, bitter and ignominious fashion. Like so much of the America we live in today. It's tough to stomach, I readily admit. But you gotta be willing to stare into the abyss, and not turn away....
In any event, it's not me, and you can relax, I'm not going to be posting and being a thorn in your side, and you will be free to indulge your inane blather without a gadfly like myself always mocking you for it. I will post a bit during the season, which is nearly upon us, but I've largely made my peace with all that other stuff. I think I was banned for a month, if you're pondering. And I've been free to post for quite a while now....
