If your fans would act like mature adults it wouldn't be a problem. I have no issues disagreeing with every single person on this board about PU/IU football, but you need to act like an adult. Even if it is YOUR board that doesn't give anyone the right to act like an ***hole and dismiss anyone simply because they didn't go to the specific university they root for.
Not calling someone out and going out of your way to defend someone are two very different actions, if you truly disagreed with his childish posts, you shouldn't have been explaining away his comments with "well we get a lot of ND trolls on here, so it's understandable".
You don't have to like the Notre Dame subway alumni, but you also should not agree with the dismissal every single ND person as not being able to speak on anything ND related unless they have a degree from ND. There are plenty of PU and ND people who come to the IU boards but act like civilized people so none of the IU people care that they take a contrarian viewpoint. BoilerN is a good example of someone who frequents the IU boards whenever anything even close to PU related is brought up, but he acts respectfully so no one has a problem with him being there.
The only reason I came over here was to correct
@boilermaker75 after I noticed he completely lied about a post on the IU BOARD. So maybe tell your Purdue buddies not to create threads lying about other boards, and you won't have visitors coming onto the Purdue board correcting you.
