Now this is a very touchy subject. For myself as I sift thru the various posts and threads I would occassionaly feel distraught, embarrassed be in disbelief on people's comments and racial slurs yet I continue on. I would smile,have a hearty laugh when someone types a ridiculous answer, cringe at a lame response and bat an eyelash as I see insults traded on line. It's not limited to words at all. Emoticons are often used to punch the message across. How many times have I said to myself "Can you please stick to the topic at hand?" But I have to admit I have occassionally gone off topic myself to comment of all things - Pacquiao's sexual prowess in bed. I've often thought, "this guy needs a job, this guy has way too much time on his hands". I can rant on and on. I also see peoples's unwaivering support for their champion almost to the point of what seems to me as a cult. Man, the way Paclanders defend their heroes it's as if it's tantamount to war. So fever pitch and heated the pissing contest is, it's almost psychotic. There's the user who would post insulting comments enough to stir a hornets nest and yes, Paclanders will fight tooth and nails as they repeatedly fall for the yank in the chain. Are they nut jobs or great boxing fans? Ever had the same experience, thoughts as I did? Wait I just realized something: I'm a Paclander ! I must be a nut job myself.
