derskinsfan Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 when it comes to talking about Snyder. With so much legitimate and intelligent reasons to be frustrated and mad at our owner these days, it really undermines the quality of discussion when posters resort to focusing on the fact that he is short. It's lazy. It's cliched. And it really doesn't have anything to do with any of things that we could, and should, rightfully complain about regarding upper management over the past 10 years. As fans, even angry frustrated fans, I think we're better than this and should post accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr77 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Then why does he seemingly overcompensate for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I don't think insults are necessary to criticize the owner or the players. Sadly for some it's the only way they know how to get a point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, insulting the owner or players isn't necessary, but it's perfectly fine to insult fellow ES members? Ok then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderMustGo Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The issue with Danny's height is never brought up as an insult unto itself. It is never used in the tone "HAHA! He is SHORT!" The issue with his height is mentioned because, like a lot of short of people, he has developed a Napolean complex to compensate for it. Nobody is critical of him for being short. But people are critical of him for having a Napolean complex which is self-evident in everything he does as an owner. Edit: To over-compensate, he throws around money recklessly, demands absolute respect from everyone, demands control, etc to show everyone what a big man he is. It's classic behavior.

derskinsfan Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 OP here and, for the record, I'm taller than 5' 8". And I'm not talking about people who are referencing a Napolean complex. Yeah, Snyder fits the bill there. And if you have posted about Snyder's classic Napoleanic actions, I'm sorry. But most posts aren't as high minded as that. I'm just getting a little tired of every Snyder rant always mentioning his height in a way that's nothing more than a needless superficial dig. I have a sense of humor. But I take the Skins seriously, as I know all of you do too and I think it is undermining the points being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 You have a point. I apologize. In fact, let Mr.Snyder know that I'm sending a car to pick him up and I'll treat him to lunch in an effort to compensate for my juvenile behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 So, insulting the owner or players isn't necessary, but it's perfectly fine to insult fellow ES members? Ok then. Insulting ES members isn't necessary either, in fact its discouraged around here. I don't see where I insulted anybody in this thread, there are in fact people on here who only post insults towards players. I also don't see where I even implied it was ok to insult fellow ES members. Maybe try understanding someone's point rather than just immediately try to disprove it because they aren't saying what you want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
