*ponders* Yea i think i used the wrong word there, now that i think about it. More like Liver Pooty's behavior in his recent Lin posts are more like baiting the idiot segment Lin fan brigade in hopes of them to respond stupidly. It's more likely he's saying the stuff in jest (i'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt) but all too often in the past i've seen stuff like that spiral out of control with the hardcore Lin fan brigade responding in force... stupidly. Hell in the bad old days i'd see people with multiple sock puppet fake accounts of being LOF (Lin only fans) and LOH (Lin only haters) supporters go back and forth at each other in hopes of drawing the mainstream crowd into the stupidity and with core goal of making Lin and his fans look bad. Yes, **** like that happens and even after getting caught and banned the damage is still done and their mission accomplished. Lin draws that much hate and yea it's a toxic environment and i'll admit i've become sensitive to perceived slights and insults from it and was ready and more than willing to lash back.
However, nowadays now that i know Lin wont ever be a star cuz he's a goddamn pussy chump i dont get as worked up anymore. I think alot of the Lin hardcore brigade has realized that too so they've melted off quite a bit and mellowed out. Still, being from a taiwanese-american upbringing similar to Lin, and still desperate for him to succeed (as faint as that chance is). I know what gets folks like us motivated. It's a swift kick in the balls and for people to tell them in their face they're screwing up and need to shape up. Simply put, let the hate flow, he needs to channel all the hate directed towards him and succeed to shut em up, sadly all he's done lately is proving them right for mocking him all this time.
