Board Rules (the Unwritten)
#1 Membership in one of the two board Groups is
mandatory. You
will become a Homer or a Negative Nancy™ even if we have to kidnap and brainwash you to get you to do it.
#2 Once in a group, you are contractually obligated to only use the most insulting and exaggerated rhetoric when describing the thoughts and/or actions of the other group. (Duh)
#3 When someone in the opposing group says something that doesnt comply with #2 you MUST none-the-less act like they've personally insulted you, which of course they have.
About some of the groups.
- Homers are incapable of thinking on their own, let alone managing anything approaching critical thinking
- You are a Homer if you have ever used the words "Lets wait and see" or used any combination of other words with similar idiomatic meaning.
- You immediately become a Homer if you have ever used the words "In" or "Belichick" or "I" or "Trust". Doesn't matter if you used them in the same sentence or not, just that you have ever used them at some point in your life.
-You irrevocably become a Homer if you ever, ever disagree with any of the founding Negative Nancies. Just. Dont. Do. It.
- If you become a Negative Nancy, you are immediately granted Belichick and McDaniel mind reading powers. These supernatural powers also extends to Coordinators, Owners and Various Assistant Coaches. Obviously, you don't need to see or meet the person whose mind you are reading.
-Once you've read Belichicks or McDaniels mind, you are allowed to state your readings as indisputable facts in your posts, which they are. Don't let the Homers deny you your ability to read minds.
-Negative Nancies are also granted the semi-supernatural ability to Know Everything. This power works especially well for things that happen behind closed doors and in the locker room. Granted, this is very similar to the Mind Reading ability, but in actuality, its kind of different too.
I may be slightly biased in how I've presented these but please see Rule #2.
