Ban Yourself from Ners

[MerrittsMustache]

Let's face it, Ners has gone off the deep end and clearly isn't going to be banned for turning seemingly every topic into yet another "Derrick Wilson: The Root of All Evil" thread. The "Ignore" button works well to some extent but can't we take it beyond that and just agree to avoid responding to him?

I am fully aware that it's easy to get sucked in because his claims are often so asinine, but what's the point? He's not going to change his mind or listen to rational thoughts. It's gotten to the point where I'm genuinely wondering if he's now just messing with us because some of his posts are so outlandish.

In any event...

As of January 26, 2015 at 11:14, I will no longer respond to Ners.

Signed,

Good call.  I will try to  join the movement.  Ners makes this place a ton less enjoyable.

[JakeBarnes]

To whom?

[Shark]

Is he the Skip Bayless of scoop?

I think I'm going to try joining this one. Ignore and not respond. Though it will take pretty much the entire site for it to work, since so many quote him that it draws people back in.

It is highly likely that Ners will be grieving over the loss of these Scoopers, one of which could not contain himself by getting a slam in at Ners after his self imposed ban.

While I will happily try to keep this up, I also vow NOT to stop cracking jokes about the knowledge of someone who played basketball in high school. From what I've seen, playing in high school doesn't give you any more insight (and in all honesty, probably gives you less) than people who sat in the bleachers actually watching and paying attention to the game.

Ehh, it won't be as fun.  I won't get to see him respond to such posts by challenging the person to a game of 1-on-1.  Or stating that Derrick Wilson dunking over a defender from Georgetown reminds him of himself.    Now that is comedy.  Ners's glory days of layup lines on the high school varsity team for Minoqua East High School reminds him of a 6' guard dunking over a 6'7" Big East forward.  Absolutely hilarious.

Wait... that happened? (the post, not the actual HS game)

[g0lden3agle]

Yes.  When Derrick dunked people were trolling Ners in the game thread and he replied "reminds me of myself"

Yes in the Georgetown game thread...I'll try to find it quick.

Got your back!

Ahh good call, thanks.

I think we've found part of the source of our Ners problem.  Trolling someone and creating threads devoted to him are a hell of a way to get him to shut up.  This "ignore Ners" movement is doomed to fail.

I had actually finally put him and willie on ignore this morning.  It just felt like it was time.

Thanks. I was at the game, so I never checked the game thread.

There are some uhhh... welll... let's say "interesting" comments in that thread.

1/26/15,  How liberating.  What was I thinking...should have done this long ago!

You're probably right, but it's worth a shot.

There were also people experiencing the old tingling thrill going up their leg when Derrick did his thunder dunk. They know who they are, and so do we!

Oh, I am at such a loss.

I won't recognize this as legitimate without some sort of poll.

Wades - Know you have a major hate woody for me.  No worries.  As for the post I made - I know the poster who I responded to - his name is Drew.  He didn't rebut what I posted, because he knows what I posted is true...that I dunked on many people in my time at MU...at 6'1"  So for as much as I know you'd like to think it wasn't a true statement, sorry - once again you are wrong.
