One man's perspective; I was a student at UK from 1979-84, including marching in the UK band my freshman year. I was a UofL fan from roughly 1972 to the present. I went to UK because that is where the majority of my friends were going, including one especially attractive young lady. I wore my UofL gear regularly as a UK student, with no more reaction than an occasional playful comment. I watched and cheered as UofL won their first National Championship in the freshman dorms among a ton of other UK freshman. I watched and cheered on campus as UofL won the original dream game among a ton of UK fans. As a diehard UofL fan in Lexington, on the UK campus, I never experienced a single truly bad experience. Those were different times. If you wanted to talk crap to a person, you had to do it to their face. What we now call rival debate and discussion was done face-to-face. And it was civil. Why? Because if you were so rude as to use "fighting words" to another person, you generally had to back them up physically. Or you were simply looked at as a jerk for acting in such a way. Civility was respected and expected. The invention and proliferation of the Internet has introduced the phenomenon of the Internet tough guy and key board bullies. Posters now "earn" reputations by how bad they believe they can degrade and demean another person anonymously online. They post it, then brag to their fellow Internet tough guys what they posted so all can high five at the "respect" they earned. THOSE are the guys who take pride in "pushing buttons" and "you mad bro?". They celebrate creating chaos and "trolling" their rival. All fan bases and boards have them. And slowly, but inevitably, they are becoming the accepted majority, rather than the scorned minority. I know...I'm a dinosaur. And I probably have no business being on a message board, much less being a mod. The hate discourages and saddens me.
