I also am not trying to offend you but, I also think your post is off base in several ways.
1. zipp isn't attacked but, several posters (myself included) are tired of his UofL hating agenda nonsense that he has been posting for years.
2. Threads are being hijacked - but by zipp. Look no further than this thread as evidence of that. I created this thread and it made no mention of zipp or his agenda in any way. He decided to post on this thread - not about the topic at hand - but again with the same tired rhetoric that had nothing to do with this topic. That's trying to hijack a thread.
3. Posters have made it clear to zipp that they are tired of the same old shit from him in every thread. Just as he is free to post what he'd like, others are free to not only disagree but, let him know that they're sick of it. The problem is - people know exactly what the threads that he creates are about and they get no traffic. Given that he is such an attention whore, when he can't get his threads responded to, he simply posts off topic on other threads. It's exactly what he did in this thread and it's a complete troll maneuver - designed specifically to piss people off. He knows exactly what he is doing and, that he is doing it but, does it anyway so that he feels paid attention to. He's rightly being called out on this behavior - including by the mods.
4. Again no disrespect intended but, I would suggest that you take your own advice and either continue to disregard threads that don't resonate with you or, feel free to use the ignore option. I sincerely doubt that this scenario will ever occur given that zipp has proven time and again that he doesn't understand sports well enough to carry on a conversation about them - but, when and if he ever decides to join the forum to discuss sports - this back and forth will cease.
